You're not restricted to how you spend your money - ie you could blow it all at some casino and no one would blink twice. @ OP: Co-op, for me, is a worthwhile experience. Although people did mention that you only apply for it if you know what you want to do, you must remember that you can drop...

You have a giant chess board too?! *quirks eyebrows* That's kinda freaky. And here I thought my old principal was the only one crazy enough to insist on it. Nice to know that the "insanity" is not isolated.

Ha! I wish. You'll ace quite possibly the first two hours of Algebra (since it's a reivision of complex numbers). Calculus is a whol'nother ballgame. At least, that's what it's like at UNSW. It's the "ninja outside of the syllabus shit" that'll get you every time (point in case: Question 8)...

Because it takes up so much of your time. I'm not sure how your school does it, but at my school, the prefects and executives are divided up into different committees, each with their own tasks. The school did as little for Year 12 as they could and it was the responsibility of the prefect body...

(*) Topic sentence - try to relate it back to question by incorporating the word "wisdom" into it somewhere. Try to make the point of the paragraph clearer. Eg, "A Drive in the Country is a poem about how a physical journey can grant wisdom to the traveller through the realisation of his own...

All three. You have to discuss what is being offered by the journey and use quotes to back up what you are saying. You have to then analyse the quotes/the insight through the techniques. Hence, try to choose quotes that can be analysed through the techqniues used (eg alliteration, symbolism...

o.O Are there a lot of internation students in ChSE? I didn't see any (maybe because I wasn't paying enough attention and was too busy making cracks about the bloody M17 theatre/room/concrete coffin being the backside of the airconditioning unit :o).

IPT is all theory. Learn your stuff and you should know all you need to know (even if it doesn't seem like it). IPT questions have the habit of confusing you, because you think you don't know what it's talking about, but you actually do know. Usually your first instinct is the right one...

Maybe you should be looking at revamping the way you studying instead of how much you study. It doesn't matter how much you study if in the end, you're doing it wrong/it doesn't make the information stick.

The way the messages are visually portrayed. A picture book is like studying a cartoon, except you have a whole lot of them to analyse at the same time. Eg, are the "images" of the protagonist(s) in the book realistic? If they are, the illustrator deliberately drew them this way for the...

How I got mistaken for an International Student when I wasn't even wearing the weird outfits/high heels the int. female students wear. :( Do I have a sticker on my forehead that screams "International Newbie" or something? Fuck man, even I'm starting to get annoyed at the sheer amount of asians...

Did you skip a word or something between "dialogue" and "composers" in the questions? 'Cause I can't make sense of it.

Unfortunately, nowhere near that many people get a band 6. Only twenty-something people got it this year, so that's like waaaaaaaay under 1%. To the OP: if you're doing well in Advanced, why are you considering dropping down to Standard? I reckon that if you can manage a band 6 (or even band 5)...

o.O Er, you might want to slow it down a little bit. You'll burn out if you go at that pace. Or, at least I would. Maybe you're one of those people who can handle that much study each day? If you're doing that much work and still not getting all of it done, then you're probably doing something...

Are you using Firefox? For some reason, Firefox doesn't let me log in when IE does.

Yes! Compare means you have to state similarities AND differences. If you only do one, you will never get full marks as it is regarded as not answering the question correctly. Eg: Similarity: they both use chemical reactions to produce electricity Difference: the different materials used...

Lol. OMG! How many people are doing Motorcycle Diaries or Little Miss Sunshine this year?! It's almost like every second person has it for their related text. @ticky2002: I found that if you have more than one example of a concept you're talking about, only remember one. Eg for Briar Rose, if...

It also depends on the subject you're studying/doing homework for. For subjects such as Maths, where knowledge needs to be applied, I would regard homework as being more important than studying. Knowing formulas and such is no good if you don't know how to apply them to problems and the best way...

Lol, I know. Sorry if my reply sounds bitchy; it's just so hard to explain things in a forum without coming across as a brat. And yes, 85+ it was just an estimation. For a "good" UAI (and everyone has different ideas of what a good UAI is), I would assum a raw of 85+ is needed.

If a person only has ten units and two of them are IPT, they would have to do pretty well (raw mark wise) to get a good UAI (unless they completely blitz all eight of their other units). It's only because IPT scales so badly that one would need a reasonably good raw mark. I might be...
