what grades do i need for a 35.

I think it's A A A (not sure high or low - you could ask around. Some people that did methods last year on VN got 35 but they'll tell you if they want to).

I got GA1:A GA2: A+ GA3: A+ last year for Geography and got 42. I didn't do heaps of study, but a reasonable amount. I wish I had worked harder though.

For History I got A A+ A and I did a lot more work for that then Geography and got 38.

^^I go to MGS, and I've never heard of anyone called Trent in year 12, assuming that's his real name.

Given that I already knew 95% plus of the methods course at the start of this year, I started doing practice exams in the middle of term 1. After 1st semester, I completed about 18 sets of exams, and currently I think I've completed around 40 sets. I only started doing past VCAA exams a few weeks before the term 3 holidays. I've still got about 10 more sets left and that will be about all I do.

get a life..

That's really mean. I think jimmy999 has done an extraordinary feat. I really dislike it when people make such irrelevant comments. People on the other forum - Board of Studies - told me to get a life when I mentioned I had completed the Methods course over the holidays. It was none of their business.

We should be appreciating that some people work hard and not be telling them to 'get a life'.

lol. depends on context. if he mentions he did 40 sets in this thread then i reckon its fine. but if someone out of no where just goes hey man i did 40 exams in 24hours.[exaggeration but you should get what i mean] . a) your just a show off b) do i give a sh** ? i am not saying you are/you did but im just saying when people say it randomly :S

[Ilovemathsmeth]

lol i know, if people boast about such things - they do appear as though they're showing off. when i mentioned about the methods course, that was in context but some rude person asked me 'are you asian? i think you should get a life.' how rude and prejudiced.

That sounds incredibly bigoted. People who don't know me always presume that my grades are mediocre, that I'm a humanities student and that I'm studying something like 2nd grade music because I'm white.

And besides, it's your choice if you want to study anyway.

[Ilovemathsmeth]

I know, why is it that some people think only the asians study?

I'm aware of who you are =) You're very smart, and always appear in the school newsletter for various achievements. Your nationality has no impact on your personal interests and what you study. I think it's annoying that some people are prejudiced.

Did you do year 9 debating? If so, you might remember me - we were year 10s stressing over our debate =P I think you asked us for an argument you could use or something.

[appianway]

It's prejudice, eh?

I wouldn't describe myself as very smart, but I do find it frustrating that there's that undercurrent of racism in society.

And yes, I did year 9 debating I think I remember you most from the Maths Olympics though (I was in the other team though...)

I sound like such a stalker.

[Ilovemathsmeth]

LOL, so you DO know who I am =P

I'm constantly surprised by how people seem to know my name. It's not like I'm extremely involved in the school co-curricular activities or anything.

Definitely frustrating. I really don't like it when people stereotype others into categories. For instance, everyone thought I'd do the UMAT. I never even told people I had such plans, when I came to school on the day of the UMAT, everyone was oh so surprised. It annoyed me that people immediately thought - 'Asian. Hardworking. She'll try for Med.' It made me almost second guess why I wanted to do Commerce.

Nah you don't =P Who got the Eng Lang award this year - you?

[appianway]

I didn't get EngLang, but I think NJ got it. My second SAC of the year was somewhat of a disaster... *cringes*

Med's become somewhat of a cliche at our school - I think people should study what they're interested in, and if this happens to be Med, great! But I think a lot of people fall into the trap of applying for something that sounds prestigious, without considering where their strengths and interests lie.

OMG, I get the same thing except it's the other way around.  People assume that I do the Asian Five, that I'm interested in Med, that I study all the time and that I have no life just because I'm Asian.  >.>

I love to see people's reactions when I tell them I don't do Science.  

-back to study...lol-
