Yeah, TK, I remember. . . those things were hell. . . the English one sucked. Ski11z if you read this before your provincials, just remember one thing. In the english exam use the FULL 3 hours. . . you'll need it.

BTW, TK got 100% on his math provincial, and another friend of mine got 100% on his Math, Physics and Chemistry provincials.

so far, ive done 3 chemistry mock provincials.. 1 math mock provincial.. 1 physics mock prov.. and 2 english mocks...

but get this: for our english MIDTERM.. our teacher gave us an ACTUAL english provincial. we only had 2hrs 30mins.. i got 83% cuz i didnt finish some of it.

and btw, im gonna fucking ace the math provincial .. MUAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHA

and im not going to UBC (yet).. im going to BCIT first. get a diploma..work for a while.. then transfer to get my degree.

yeap. but i need to get a new computer first..

so who wants to volunteer and help me configure a new system? this is what im planning, but dunno about compatibility/finance

PROCESSOR: AMD THUNDERBIRD 1.33GHz 266MHZ SOCKETA OEM
COOLER: THERMALTAKE VOLCANO II SOCKET 462(A) HEATSINK&FAN Up to 1.5GHz
MOTHERBOARD: ASUS A7A266 ATX ALiMAGICK 2DDR+3SDRAM AGP PRO 4PCI AMR ATA100 W/ SND
RAM: MICRON PC2100 256MB DDR 266MHZ CAS2.5 OEM
HARD DRIVE: WD CAVIAR 30GB 7200RPM ATA/100 HD 3.5LP 9MS 2MB
MONITOR: OPTIQUEST Q95-2 19" 1600X1280.23mm-h
VIDEO CARD: ASUS V8200 DELUXE GeForce3 64MB DDR W/VIDEO IN & TV OUT

SPEAKERS: Altec Lansing ACS33, 3-piece speaker system
NETWORK: D-LINK DFE-530TX FAST PCI 10/100

if this is the system i get... i will need 2 towels. i already have the plextor 12x10x32x (i lubb it lots)

i dont know much about mobos.. or any of that shit.. so im not sure if all of this is compatible. if it is.. ph34r my geforce3 fr000diness.

i thought my 450mhz was a monster..lol.

anyways, im trying to say as much as i can right now cuz im supposed to be studying calculus.. (implicit differentiation and stupid curve sketching.. easy shaize)

ttyl'z..

Aaaah, I remember differentials. . .at least I remember doing them, just not how.

Hi Skillz

I like your specs but I would dump the WD Hardrive and get an IBM GXP60 series.

just had my calc exam .. easy as pie..

after i finished my last message i went out for the night and didnt study no more

hehe.
and i got 84% on my Math Mock-Provincial..
without studying :\ i still have a ways to go.. tk, take my exam

lol, lindi nice sig..

s'uup to everyone. and star6, i dont know u but, hi.

whats the diff btween the WD and the IBM hd?

i dont know too much about hardware. i can install a video card, cd/cdrw, ram, and thats about it. and it turns out that this computer (that i described above) costs hella more than my first year's tuition at BCIT..

a year at BCIT = $550 (after subtracting bursary money)
computer = $2400+

i'm a dreamer.

I accidentlly posted as Star6...forgot to logout.

Anyway hey maybe you remember me but I remember you...

I have heard bad things about WD from some real reliable sources. Personally I always like Maxtor. I own a nice 40 GB Maxtor Diamond 7,200 RPM ATA 100 hard drive whcih I've had for some time now and it runs great.

However I added a new hard drive which was that new IBM GXP60 which is even quieter faster and runs cooler. It has larger (20 GB) platters. Anyway I made it my primary drive running my OS and made the Maxtor a backup and storage secondary drive.

So far I like the IBM better. IBM hard drives have a great reputation.

I have had good experiences with Maxtor, IBM, Fujitsu & Samsung hard drives.

Hey Skillz, I wish I could take the exam... it would be so fun for me...heheheh seriously. I'm actually tutoring someone in Math 10, it brings back some meomories!

When you get that rockin' computer, we gotta play some quake!

My teacher used to give us dimploma exams (provincials i guess there) for tests and midterms. She used to mark me at 47% and in that range. Either I would fail or barely pass. Then I get an 87% on the actual diploma exam. Well, since I would never have her again I went to her office at the start of the next term with my score having just received it in the mail. In not so colourful terms I basically said "What the fuck is your problem? Why are you giving me shitty marks and then I blow through this dimploma exam". Her response was "Because I felt you had potential to be so much more". And my response was "By fucking up my self-esteem and subsequently my marks and very possibly my academic career...thanks a fucking lot". She then stopped me and said how my sister used to be the best english student she ever had bla bla bla and thus held me to a higher standard. Needless to say I have not said that bitches name in 6 years and refuse to even to this day because I have nothing good to say about that fucking HAG!!

Must say though, I do regret not putting effort into high school. I maybe did an hour worth of homework all through high school and through test score alone I passed with about a 75% average. Nothing spectacular, but says a fair bit about those test scores. Hell, I got 93% in my physics class in my 2nd year of college without studying, having missed the previous weeks of classes and not sleeping before I went to it cause I was working. My prof bitched me out shaking my transcript at me telling me I could do so much if I tried...thing is, I never knew what I wanted to do. So I was content at being a jack of all trades and a master of none. Only now am I realizing that I wanna go back to school...so for those of you who worked at it etc...I admire. For those of you that worked at it, succeeded, worked a job, got laid etc...I APPLAUD YOU...and am jealous.

Anyhow, congrats man.

sup rivendell, and yeah, cac i remember u

right now i have a 15gig maxtor diamond max plus..only 5400rpm ... and i just barely used half of it =\

im supposed to go to school today at 1pm and take a chemistry mockprovincial.. the only class i havent studied for and its worth about 5% of our mark

and snag, i sorta have an english teacher like that. except she's not a bitch.. she marks harder than the ppl marking our provincial exams. but it paid off... earlier this year i hella slacked in english cuz i didnt think much of it. then i started getting 50% on my compositions. now i'm one of the few who has gotten a perfect mark on a final formal essay comp. she's the same teacher who gave us the english final provincial exam for our midterm exam. our average class mark (for the gr 12's) was around 55-60%

as for my other classes, i tried for the first term of this year and averaged a high 92% in all my classes (Infotech, math, physics, chem, english, religious studies, and calculus). coulda gotten higher--but decided to play q3 and go out breakdancin..heh. now im down about 6%

i suck.

but once this is over, imma party it up this summer. then somehow scratch up enough dough to buy my pimpin computer. then.. maybe i'll start playing q3 again.

Hey Skillz, my friend just built an almost identical system to what you want... but he went for a 19" flatscreen Samsung (955DF).

I loved it so much I ordered my own! (getting it next week). l8r

ski11z, I'd take the chem prov for you. . .but I think I've forgotten a lot of it. Espcially redox, I think that was because I was sick for 3/4 of that section in Chem12 and had to learn it in about a week.

I didn't want to start a new topic, so i'll just reply to this

i just took ANOTHER math mock provincial (3rd one) and i still havent studied yet

anyways, i got 2 multiple choice questions wrong, and there was this ONE question in the short answer section that seems impossible to solve. Tk, answer this:

1. Determine the cubic polynomial function with zeros 1, 2 and +/-3 that passes through (3, -10). (answer may be left in factored form)

i tried graphing the answer on my calculator, but only got 3 zeros.. 1, 2 and -3. NO +3...

so, right now, i'm not counting that question..lol.

without it, i got 97%

so, the 3 marks i got in 3 successive math mock provincials were: 83% (open book), 86% (without studying and in 1hr 45mins), 97% (without studying in the full 2hrs 30mins).
