Something along the lines of: (slowly) you are now on a relaxing holiday, threes nothing much to do, you are having the time of your life and before you know it, school begins....then you realize threes work to do and you're getting left behind (say in extra fast voice) then there's sacs, assignments, commitments, exams, study, VCe stress, burnout etc...(confused voice) then it's alll over? (commercial good sounding voice) get headstart you need for VCe by joining our summer holidays st tsfx. Go to tsfx for more information...

Now I hope there aren't tsfx employees reading this, because it just shows how memorable and impressionable their ads are...seeing as I remembered most of it

God I hate TSFX

Care to elaborate/explain?

Well basically, I have a mixed socio-economic school. Most of the richer kids go to TSFX and make a point of it to let all the poorer kids that they are going to TSFX and how much it costs. I myself am a richer kid, but I went to the feeder campus of the poorer kids, hence I hate seeing the richer kids assert themselves like that over the poorer kids.

So yeh, it's through no fault of TSFX's that I hate them. It's just what they symbolise to me...

Not scare tactics, they are facts

[burbs]

Pretty sure facts can be used as a scare tactic?
As it is, seems like hyperbole more than pure fact.

I don't see anything morally/ethically wrong with that ad for TSFX (I've heard it myself).

Honestly don't know why there's such an anti-TSFX sentiment in the thread

I think the general sentiment is that TSFX overcharges.


That ad is definitely using scare tactics. Of course, there is an element of truth to what the ad is saying. But in the end, it is just an advertisement... can't blame 'em for trying.

I hate all of their advertising. They send it out all the bloody time, and it's all just scare tactics, sensationalist nonsense. I've been to some of their lectures, and one set of the weekly classes. All they do is go through questions most of the time. There's no magical thing they say or do that makes them any better than your average competent teacher... I find those $30 'notes' (Summary info + decent questions) books much better, not to mention 5% of the cost and resellable.

Difference between TSFX and the others, even though TSFX may be better, is if you register for anything, they constantly spam you ...

I just got a cheque for a small nice amount of money from TSFX

Did anyone else get something as a result of the resource submission? aaaand do you know where we could view it?

Arr they mentioned that before but figured it was a gimmick. How'd you go about doing that?
