    Mathematics Extension 1 Predictions/Thoughts

    I have a feeling that related rates of change and binomial proofs will come up this year *somewhere*. Probably as an MC or Q11/12. Also have a weird feeling optimisation is going to appear in combination with some extension topic.

    Modern History Predictions/Thoughts

    I did both when I was in Yr 12. In terms of predictions for US, looking at the past 4 years there have been 1 internal question and 1 external question. I think it'd be interesting if they pulled a question in regards to the survey area. Saying that, they haven't asked a question on the New...

    Thoughts on the new phone policy?

    I think the effectiveness comes from how willing teachers are to enforce the rules. I know many teachers would be (it's a distraction) but obviously there's going to be resistance, particularly from kids who are willing to take a distraction from anything (e.g. kids playing Tetris on their...

    likely questions for 2023 hsc civil rights?

    I have a feeling they're going to ask on presidents and the civil rights movement this year. Also while they may not have explicitly asked on those topics you can still draw on them (e.g. iirc in 2021 there was a question evaluating MLK's impact and you could refer to those groups)

    Subject selection exams

    Yeah, I don't really understand why schools do that in general. Like I know one Catholic school (since I teach students from there) where you have to be working hard from year 7 to get into the accelerated maths program (cut off in mid Year 8, but always at risk of being thrown out). And if...

    value q

    I mean, consider both the space, the type of question and how many points you've made. It generally should be 2/3 page (for 5 marks) to 1 page (for 7 marks) but if you've made 5 good points for a 5 marker then that should be fine. Also I mean you can look at sample responses and chances are they...

    Should there be an Aboriginal voice to parliament?

    I think there were some good points in theory for either side, but Albo botched the execution by keeping it so vague about what is being promised That and everyone (read: the media) is heralding it as revolutionary but the question is will it really change anything? And I'm not necessarily...

    RolePlay Thread

    Me neither. I suppose the gif was cool tho Back then it was quite all over the place because of lockdown, which had also laid the foundations for some of the poorer study habits I've had in the first year or so in uni. I'm weeding out them now, but my mental state is (hopefully) much better now...

    past math preliminary papers

    I know it's a bit late, but I'd recommend getting the Maths Standard 2 HSC past paper compilation from Excel (blue book). It has a topic index so you can easily search up the questions you're after

    modern history trials help

    Yep. Start with open book responses to questions, then move to closed book responses. Try doing 5 minute plans to unseen questions (without looking at your notes), then go back to your notes and see if you can add historian quotes. Finally, if you have time, sit through these sections under...

    star trek strange new worlds s02e09 - the musical? WTF!!!!!!!!!

    Yes, especially the character Spock who was emotionless but crazy smart and rational. Sheldon would have a fit if he saw Spock singing

    subject selection: ancient vs modern history

    Look at the syllabus, but also perhaps look at what topics your school does. You may find that the topics are interesting or that they are not fun at all. Alternatively, as someone else said, try doing both for a few weeks in Yr 11 and you can figure out which you prefer (before the 1st assessment).
