    Want to get 97.75... Need 95.1 How am I going?

    Sorry I'm not able to answer your question, but I'd like to have anyone's advice on this too, because my marks are similar to yours. I've been getting 70s/80s marks in my trials too, and I'm aiming for a UAI of 96.85. English Adv - 79% (rank 4th) English Ext 1 - 92% (rank 1st) Geography -...

    Gendered Lang: Alternative Ending to Elizabeth?

    Hehe, thanks anyway. I think I got a good mark in the end, but I can't remember what it was because we only had about a minute to look at them before we had to give them back to the teacher. But christ, your assessment sounded massive! I can't believe they'd set so much up when it's only worth...

    Is anyone else over the HSC?

    Last minute preparing for english? then read this!

    Oh god you have no idea how reassuring it was to read that after stressing over how bad the exam went this morning! I only used one of my core texts (I'm doing Coleridge and only used 'Rime of the Ancient Mariner'), one stimulus and one ORT. Everyone else was saying how they'd used three...

    Muse

    I'm absolutely stoked they're coming back :D Saw them twice at the Hordern in January - absolutely mindblowing performances. www.muse.mu (their official site) says to stand by for news of presale tickets. What a great way to end the year after the HSC =]

    HELP! Dropping subjects

    I've been considering dropping Chemistry for months now but I haven't gone through with it yet. It's not going to help me with anything, it's easily my worst subject and will definitely come last. Our teacher is rubbish and I feel like I'm just wandering through the course in a mind-numbing...

    USYD - snobbery?

    (Sorry for intruding on a uni thread, as I am a lowly HSC rodent, but...) I totally agree! We went on a Biology excursion to USyd earlier this year and I just fell in love with the place and all it's beautiful buildings. The other week ago we visited the UWS Penrith campus and it just looked...

    Psychology & Maths?

    I'm hoping to get into B Psych (96.85) at USyd too. BA (98) is out of my reach =P I'm only doing General Maths, and my stomach dropped when I read the Advanced Maths 'assumed knowledge'. Gah, I did Adv for about half of Year 11 and then moved down because I was doing dreadfully, but I'm...
