failed my test

Hi all,
Went in to do my 5 questions yesterday and failed, you have to get 4 out of
5 and i got 2 wrong. The two questions i got wrong were (not verbatim);

What is the legal way to park a motorcycle without a sidecar;
a)parallel to the kerb
b)within one metre of the kerb
c) with one wheel as near as practicable to the kerb

When can the holder of a motorcycle license carry a pillion passenger?
a)anytime
b)after having held their license for 6 months
c)after having held their license for 1 year

Well in NSW the answers would be c and c, but I suspect that you've
maybe misrepresented the second question unless they've changed the
rules - in QLD it used to be a fully licenced rider could be a pillion
at any time (and in fact it was mandatory to be supervised either by a
pillion or another fully licenced motorcyclist on a bike IIRC)

JL

 

Agree with JL: C & C (in Victoria)

One thing I noticed when I did my test last October: a lot of people
(like everybody else, 12 or so) worked through the questions and
handed the answers in before their time was up without scoring 100%...
as if they were never taught how to take a test. The way to get a
*really* high score in any test, if that's what you want, is to answer
the questions, and then use *all* of the extra time going over all of
the questions a second time (to make sure you haven't misread) and
again, a third time concentrating on the ones you're not quite sure
about. Only stop going through your answers again and again when
either a) you would stake money on a perfect score, or b) you have run
out of time. It might sound silly, but it could even save you
money ;-)

no it isnt.. thats the best way to start doubting yourself. Oh maybe
that could be B or D or F shit..

 

Like everything I doubt there is a single rule that works for
everyone.

VTR's method works best if you're better at memorising (or had more
study time) than you are at comprehension particularly for multi
guess. (The errors that would be resolved in the above checking would
tend to be the "I knew the answer I misread the question" type
answers.

Biggus' method works best for those who tend to the reverse - strong
comprehension skills but relatively poorer topic knowledge.

Neither method is likely to be optimal for short answer or essay
questions
(Optimal for written is usually to divide time by marks and
religiously stick to the allocated time for each question regardless
of whether you are finished it or not, exceptions like knowing utterly
nothing about one of the questions are of course ignored ;-)

(still a (part time) student, probably always will be one; till I die
anyway :-/ )

 

<puzzled look> It's just a rebadged LLM (same subject choices). It's
the USyd M.B.L - you looking at the right one ? Almost done now
anyway.

Now the question is, what's a doctoral thesis that incorporates IT
outsourcing, contract/corporate law and economics/finance. Over to the
ausmoto brains trust ??

Well it'd depend on quality of life wouldn't it - if you're still able
to go for a blat up the old rd then I think being a 112 would be fine.
If you're a drooling mess with no control over bodily functions then
yeah probably better off dead.

"Doctorate in selling your soul to EDS"

Zebee

 

I think that's called a lobotomy not a doctorate

JL

 

Thanks Mr Twain.

Yeah but it can be good if you do it right - one of my lecturers does
about 40hrs of lectures a semester and the rest is as a consultant to
freehills and jetting around to speak at conferences. Nt too bad.

JL
(dunno if i'd ever do it though)

 

no fucking idea

<d> is the answer

 

Not quite. As discussed in another thread a learner can carry a fully
licensed [2 yrs] rider as a pillion but after they get their licence they
then cannot for the next 12 months (unless it's recently changed. A few
rules concerning learner and provisional riders/drivers have)

 

It's not the only one, you also have the UNE "Juris Doctor" which I'm
enrolled in to start next year (but I'll be doing it a lot slower than
the MBL). And UWS.

http://www.lawlink.nsw.gov.au/lawlink/lpab/ll_lpab.nsf/pages/lpab_secondandfourthschedule

I think ANU had one too (distance or local options for both UNE and
ANU).

UNE had the advantage they'd give me exemptions against the MBL
subjects.

Yeah. So like I said. I need a creative thesis area that I can wrap
together the things I'm interested in....

Indeed, but first I have to work out what to write about (and I always
struggle with that bit)

Indeed !! <points to extremely obscure crossover point between 3
disparate disciplines> If I can't find a niche at that nexus there's
something seriously wrong !

<boggle> Oh the options !!!

JL

 

OK, that's possible

ooops too late for that

WAAAYYY too late for that ! Like I ever had a choice. (But my
grandfather is 95 and still kicking - not in an old folks home yet)

errm hell, well I'm thinking I'll be ok on the first part but not the
second. Might be an idea to buy a trike I guess.

The obvious is that it's about oursourcing/offshoring and an economic
and legal issue involving same.

Perhaps something about what happens if your outsourcer outsources?
Been a few cases about medical records to do with that. Is it more
common in offshore outsourcers and are the legal ramifications
different to onshore outsourcers?

I presume you don't wanna get into industrial relations law

Good start. Less good if all the others kicked it at 60.

I used to say "at least my elbows are OK!"

Now I have a right elbow that is very much less than OK. I'll be OK
in old age as long as they have a cure for arthritis I guess.

Zebee

 

My granddad died at 96 and my dad's still living at home by himself at 93,
so I don't think it's genes that's going to kill me.

Theo

 

His wife is still kicking along OK at 88. My maternal grnadmother is
still alive - no idea her age 80's ? Maternal grandfather is deceased
- he was 80 odd when he went though. Genes there are fine I think.

Well, *one* of my elbows is Ok... (for fairly loose values of OK)

I'm up to 22 broken bones I think at the last count (been a while
since I've done one I think that's right) so yeah arthritis is going
to suck...

JL

 

Holy dooley - that's a lot of broken bones. Someone with more medical nouse
than I would be more authoritative - but I'm not so sure that the broken
bones will increase your arthriticalness <grin> much anyway unless you have
a predisposition. (Well, from my understanding of arthritis anyway - and
mine's not bad enough for me to be, touch wood, but I have some arthritis in
my spine - it seems to run (hobble?) in my family. And I tell you what -
the soft tissue damage to my knee, 10 months after my prang, is so far FAR
more painful than the arthritis anyway!

Arthritis is an inflammation of the joints - I wouldn't have thought a
broken bone would encourage arthritis unless you have a predisposition to it
(perhaps if the break is on a joint?) Geez, I don't know....

One of my grandads, who spent the last 15 years of his life on a walking
frame, crippled by arthritis, had never broken a bone in his body...

betty

 

LOL, don't underestimate me, Johno petal..... neither rain nor snow nor
arthritis will deter me from my witching/wenching duties at PI.<snigger>

Actually, arthritis seems to fit the Witch mode pretty well, hee hee!
Doesn't sit quite so easily with the Wench role, does it? But never you
mind, dear..... I'll witch/wench and smile..... cos you blokes aren't that
bad (despite what everybody says!). Jodz, feel free to contradict me, hee
hee!

betty

 

Mmm sounding interesting, this is good.

Errr no ! :=) Not particularly. I don't have a problem with touching on
it,but not as primary content.
