    Has anyone done 4U Maths, 4U English, Bio and Chem for their HSC??

    probably just depends on how passionate you are about doing a major work. english extension 2 is probably going to be one of the hardest and the most painful time-management subjects on earth, ESPECIALLY with you wanting to take extension 2. While extension 2 won't be that hard if you find...

    Civil Engineering: USYD or UNSW?

    I'm looking to go to UNSW as well. Here's what I think and what I've found in my quite elaborate research: (For computer science and general engineering); almost all the top global companies who are situated in Australia prefer UNSW>USYD>UTS. This may be due to the amount of students enrolled -...

    I've got a few questions about degrees.

    Law in itself is becoming a fairly undesirable degree. While a few decades ago, having a Law Degree would be considered to be with similar prestige as becoming a doctor - the commercialisation of law and the lack of law jobs with the insane amount of law graduates per year leads to very little...

    I've got a few questions about degrees.

    I think, generally, you yourself can discover if a double degree is worth it. Let's see: B Engineering/Arts: probably not going to boost your employability... B Engineering/Commerce: might boost your employability in the banking sector (but engineering students are poached by banks to do...

    Mod C Tips?

    use cultural stories, and trauma. but don't be a cringelord and write about really deep, suicidal shit. teachers see this all the time, and they hate it (from the teachers I have talked to). it's inappropiate, worrying and weird. if your disconnected from your culture - maybe take inspiration...

    I need advice on whether to drop physics or software design and development.

    While Physics seems as though it has nothing to do with Commerce; often, it is the critical thinking skills acquired in Physics and Mathematics which businesses tend to look for. This applies to coding too - but the mathematical reasoning in Physics leads to physics majors being head-hunted at...

    milkman measured...

    nah; he measured the charge of the electron. yes this charge was negative, but: 1. he didn't know what the fundamental charge of an electron was. so; 2. he did multiple tests at different masses and ionisations; 3. he then found the rate of change through these multiple results; 4. and as he...

    Orbits clarification

    it will have more kinetic energy. total mechanical energy is conserved: U + K = - \frac{GMm}{2r}

    How to determine the direction of eddy current?

    Okay; compartmentalise the magnetic field into two halves; one going out of the field, one going in. The diagram and example I drew up - servers for the right side going in. As you can see; the eddy current is in the opposite vector direction to the movement. On the other half (the left side of...

    How to determine the direction of eddy current?

    Hey mate; Do you know the right hand solenoid rule? It's very very useful for eddy currents. An eddy current will always work to oppose an induced magnetic field; basically, the plate doesn't want to go into the magnetic field - and it creates a current (and hence a magnetic field to oppose it)...

    Year 11 Ext Math 1 Question

    You would need the extra info that the polynomial is monic - which is why I said we need more info. If this was given; your method would work :)

    Year 11 Ext Math 1 Question

    maybe i'm dumb; but i think there's not enough information. (x-2)(x+2)(ax^2+bx+c) \newline \text{With P(0)=4; and P(1)=-3} \newline c=1;\text{and a+b=2 (sub in values)}\newline \text{I think we need more info}

    Am I right to think this

    from what I understand; the 50% 50% of external and internal, is very, very misleading. the mark that you get for internals is actually not even considered; only your rank is. Now; this rank, and the spaces between the ranks are used to 'squeeze' your external marks into the internal rank. In...

    HELP ON WHICH IS BETTER FOR LEARNING?

    i've found jeddle to be really good - they have good detailed analysis and advice for writing as well. a tutor who can do both - guide you through the essay writing skill in reference to the text will be the best of both worlds. To succeed in English; you need to just write as many essays as...

    HELP ON WHICH IS BETTER FOR LEARNING?

    skills based 10000000000%. this is high school english. you really do not need a solid grasp of a text to get 20/20; although; your distinct ability to write fluidly, concisely and imaginatively, will get you far. (i dont say this as some random band 4 student; I'm pretty good at English). Texts...

    2022 CSSA MATH EXT 2 Thoughts

    I too got that. It was just length; not distance; and it was also a 1 marker, so yeah, it was that simple. Was probably trying to catch out some people trying to over-complicate it. That question was fun. I really enjoyed the Question 14; reduction formulae question. Was a satisfying result...

    Question in internal ranking

    hello bos'ers, i'm currently doing maths extension 2. my school isn't the greatest (top 100ish); but it's mathematics cohort is very strong (i believe we placed top 30 2 years ago). i'm currently 3/7 or 4/7; but the gaps between the ranks are about 1%-2% each. Will this greatly affect me because...

    Internal Rank Importance

    your internal rank will always affect your overall outcome - but doing well in the externals will never hurt it. that's really all ya need to know.
