    So what are you guys playing at the moment?

    I have been really iffy on actually purchasing this game for a while, especially with the horrendous amount of glitches that still plague Battlefield 4 (and made it unplayable at launch). I kind of like the direction they are taking things though, keep me updated on any problems that you experience

    Does your homework take up most of your study/revision time?

    I honestly found homework extremely beneficial for English in my case. Outside of that i really have to agree

    If possible you should ask your teacher where you went wrong, 3rd is still quite a solid ranking especially for early in the year. I personally experienced some really disappointing marks in my first term, the key is to move past it

    Does your homework take up most of your study/revision time?

    You will find that leading up to exams and especially later in the year that your homework workload will gradually decrease until you have most of your time to study. I personally was spending around 3-4 hours a day homework and 1-2 hours a day study in term 1. Which turned into 2 hours a day...

    When am I able to drop a subject?

    You can drop a subject whenever really, most people say to drop before half-yearlies because studying a subject for 2 terms only to drop it is really inefficient

    So what are you guys playing at the moment?

    My Xbox360 actually broke part way through my HSC haha. It was a pretty good thing now that i look at it in retrospect

    So what are you guys playing at the moment?

    Most games on the PS4 work with remote play, it's only a small percentage that don't. And yeah, i can't help to agree, especially when looking at the low sales figures of devices such as the Vita when compared to the 3DS (Which is quite sad actually, i would of liked to see a bit more developer...

    Would you consider doing homework, studying?

    However it is also important to go over what you have learned from that homework at a later date, or i wouldn't really count it as productive study. But it's study never the less. It helps you build "exam technique" in a sense and helps you learn/re-enforce content

    Would you consider doing homework, studying?

    I personally consider doing homework a form of studying. As it mainly consists of going over previous content and in some cases, learning new content which is usually all relevant to the syllabus. I personally tried to split my afternoons into 3 hours of homework and 2.5 hours of revision and...

    I see, that would be quite the pain haha At least you guys don't need to go through the horrors of belonging with Peter Skryznecki. I still cringe when i think of studying that

    I disagree. I am a casual reader and have read some of the advanced english prescribed texts for both years 11 and 12 and compared to what i did in Standard i personally believe that the Advanced English texts are more interesting in themselves. However, we did The Shawshank Redemption as a...

    What would you like to see on BOS?

    Coming from my previous experience on forums, the ability to give negative rep only causes conflict between members and complaints to the moderation team. I don't see much of a reason for it to be restored

    So what are you guys playing at the moment?

    I tried this with my PS4 a few weeks ago, whilst it is a pretty cool concept i highly prefer using my monitor and PS4 controller, especially seeming that there are certain games on the PS4 that don't allow remote play what so ever On Topic: I have been playing FTL again recently, picked it up...

    Hsc subjects :)

    Yes. It is widely agreed upon that 11 units is pretty much the optimal amount for the HSC. If you don't think you can handle the workload and if PDHPE is your weakest subject i would definitely say go for it

    Questions- School Marks- Motivational help

    15% is quite a small weighing, when you think of it that way 85% of your internal mark has not been calculated yet. You can very easily turn things around with hard work and devotion and achieve a high band 6 (or even a state rank) from where you are now. I recommend you constantly complete your...

    A controversial video game condoning mass murder (WARNING ON VIDEO)

    Damn, i kind of see why a game such as this would be controversial. Whilst i am not very large on the concept of video games influencing one's view on reality this is really quite tasteless to say the least I personally think that they have sort of crossed the line of social norms with this...

    What is project management/ project work?

    Project management is part of the IPT HSC syllabus as you can see here http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/syllabus_hsc/pdf_doc/ipt-st6-syl-from2010.pdf As for why is doesn't have its own sub-forum i'm really not sure, but seeming that it doesn't i would say that it would be a safe bet to...

    In my opinion, whilst advanced is very slightly harder than standard it is much harder to get a band 6 in standard opposed to advanced.
