stonecold as if you regret methods you need it for both biomed and science, lol so clearly you dont..

my biggest regret is not working very hard, especially now when i took yesterday and sunday off, and just started working then for chem. arghh cannot be bothered - not sure how to regret not being motivated? can't be changed ><

and if onlyyy further in year 11 too, i would have gotten 48+ :(

You do?? :P

I didn't even know haha.  Because you don't need it for med, and that was all I was worried about at the time...

no regrets, my original goal was 95+, but I'll only get 90+ now.
nevertheless, had an epic year of 18ths and with mates, made all the study worth it.!
NO REGRETS, provided I get my first preference


isn't your first preference biomed at melb? so aim 98+ not 90 ><
smash chem tomorrow and get it..

-Doing English  (although it still may work out)
-Not being allowed to do another 3/4 in year 11
-Doing Methods.  Should have done a bludge subject like PE or Psych.


Edit:  Should have done methods as a second sub in 2009 when it was piss easy...
Psych's no bludge :D  In fact, feel lucky you didn't choose it because both exams this year were much harder than past years and its screwed a lot of people over. 2010 just hasn't been a good year at all with exams. I think other years had it way easier.

yeah definitely not a bludge, the amount of work to receive the same score in method is far, far less.
i may get ~44 after scaling in methods after i did pretty much nothing the entire year, so i'd say be happy you did methods ;)

Not doing eco 1/2 and doing bio 1/2 instead because I was so crazed about doing MBBS back last year. If I did eco I may have actually been interested and continue it as a 3/4.

Also not allowed to do both methods 3/4 and chinese 3/4 this year.

I know I am probably over reacting, but methods was an absolute disaster considering the work I put in..

over-exaggerating? how many marks did you (think) were lost on exam 2?

Like 15+

It is not looking good.

Got the last two parts of the Prob Q wrong, and couldn't do most of the last question.

My biggest regret would be not doing 3/4 LOTE in year 10 when I was capable of it. I also regret dropping visual communications for UMEP maths.

maybe you'll get consquential marks for some working? +low A+ cutoff, should still be sweet.
besides, you have bio/chem to use as top subjects (with further), you will be soooo fine!

Hahaha. Sorry. With heaps of effort you can ace psych, it's just a lot harder than people think it is. Only people who do it in year 12 realise how it's the complete opposite of a bludge. Who knows, maybe 2011 psych exams will be a lot easier cos of the bloodbath us 2010ers experienced. How have you been going this year anyway? Acing it? 1/2 is actually pretty easy.

Yeah biomed is my aim, but I have so incredible SEAS disadvantages, so it's 88 with Access Melbourne.. otherwise, Science at melbourne!

ahhh i seee, thats awesome then - well not the disadvantages o-o
isn't the 88 only applied to the 'socioeconomically disadvantaged' or rural located schools though??

Nope, underrep schools get it too (i.e. under 4% of applicants that apply at melbourne get in.. or something like that)
