Maybe they should prevent the bullies from physically harming people before they worry about a few harmless pixels on a screen...

I agree - that's what I'm after. But I guess some people are unusual and are after something different... I mean, the majority of HSC candidates have no chance of gaining a place at a university based on their UAI - there must be a few reasons why some people who have no chance still do it.

CrashOveride, SECTION 11.9.2 is interesting, but it would only 'beat' distance education and OTEN if you were only after a UAI. "They are not eligible for the award of the Higher School Certificate or Record of Achievement but are eligible for a Higher School Certificate Result Notice...

I completed the preliminary component through OTEN last year (2004), as I started it quite late I had to finish it in a much smaller period of time. I managed to complete the preliminary in 3 months - although it requires motivation, it's very much doable. This year (2005) I'm doing the year...

I got home from the city conference about an hour ago - I really enjoyed it. I especially like how they have compiled the notes with all the recent stats, it makes you feel like you don't have to take in every word they say. I recommend them! And damn, I should have tried that bluetooth...
