    Natural talent or just a lot of hard work put in?

    loll I just saw again that movie Good Will Hunting. If there are people like that out there, doing the HSC same year as you dudes... :) Anyways - natural talent can probably help you get HSC marks of 80-90. Working extremely hard after that would get you to the 99-100 area. That's my take on...

    Rounding up on Assessments/Tests.

    Hey, loll funny seeing a thread about my old situation. :D I just wanted to know something though. The 'averaging' of the HSC assessment and HSC exam mark thing seemed like a good explanation for why my 100/100 didn't gain me first place (i.e. because I must have achieved a 99/100 for my...

    The Dark Knight

    lol ain't touching no spoilers. Hell - even if a crystal clear version went around on the net, I wouldn't touch it. Why ruin it for yourself? Anyways. I'm watching The Dark Knight this coming Monday, 14th of July. Won advance tickets for free on the first day I joined MySpace (lol which I...

    HARRY POTTER & THE DEATHLY HALLOWS - thoughts (SPOILERS!!)

    hated this book. Sorry - it was just so.. cliche! And some parts, like Mrs Weasley shouting "BITCH!" seemed.. out of place. Rowling never resorted to swearing in any of the previous books, yet the mood and tone in those seemed more realistically darker and genuine than in this one. In fact, this...

    Why does everyone major in accounting?

    Um, most of the people I talk to LAUGH when asked 'Are you going to major in accounting?'. Economics and pretty much anything else seems like a much better option. (Some people value their psychological health > monies). Can you imagine being an accountant for LIFE anyway? Don't. I take it...

    Why is going GREEN so expensive?

    If it's expensive, don't do it lol. And if you do have the money for it, send it to them dying kids in Africa. Might be a tad more useful there atm.

    Mastering English = Possible?

    The 100/100 is an aligned HSC mark. I'm pretty sure they base state-rankings around raw HSC marks. :) There are a number of threads about the difference between these, and it's pretty easy to look up!

    Bad rank but good(ish) mark?

    Because marks in your school's assessments might be easier to achieve than marks in James Ruse's school assessments? As namu said. Ranks > marks. :)

    Mastering English = Possible?

    Read sophisticated essays written by literary critics. Try to emulate their style of writing. I didn't 'master' english, but I achieved a band 6! (Which I didn't think was 100% possible, given that HSC students of previous years seemed largely unable to achieve a band 6). Plus I'm a latino. So...

    Does SDD suck or what?

    LOL SDD doesn't suck.. that much. Nah, it's seriously a nice way of getting a band 6. Provided, of course, that you have a pretty good teacher. Our teacher was awesome for SDD; as a result, most of our class of like.. 9 kids, achieved band 6 (only like two band 5's). :D

    When does 'The Dark Knight' come out in Australia?

    I tried googling, and Yahoo had stuff, but my dial up net is too laggy to even open it up. I NEED to know.. when's TDK coming out??? I'm pretty sure it's not out yet.. but I don't want to miss the opening day. :( ....I hope to GOD I didn't miss the opening day...

    What album(s) did you listen to today?

    Not an 'album' per-se; but thought I'd list it anyway. Muse - Hullabaloo (I think that's how you spellz it). Never get sick of watching that stuff. GARHHH. :D

    High Scaling Subjects

    lol yeps! Some teachers didn't think it was.. the appropriate course of action. But hey; it's my UAI :)

    High Scaling Subjects

    I took scaling/moderation/alignment etc into consideration when I made my choices. Particularly moderation; whatever subjects I wasn't coming first in during Yr 11 in, I dropped for Yr 12. :)
