    English Paper 2

    My thoughts; Mod A - A bit of a unconventional extract but I liked it because it forced you to actually consider the textual conversation/interpretations (at least for KR3/LFR) Mod B - Pretty standard and adaptable. Although the idea of entrapment within Eliot's poetry forced me to think deeply...

    english paper 1

    Alright everyone, time to get some rest. So, in more than one way... Good night and good luck!

    GOOD LUCK

    The exam authors be looking through the putnam papers for ✨inspiration ✨

    BoS trials Maths and Chemistry 2022

    For the Ext. 2 paper, MC question 4, aren't B and D equivalently correct answers?

    Complex 2

    Continuing from that step, let the fraction be rcistheta, then... You could then say, similarly, for z-1/z+1=cis(3pi/4), z=cot(3pi/8) etc. Then you have derived all the 4 solutions.

    CASIO fx-8200 AU - new calculator coming next year.

    This is exactly what I'm thinking. Finding probability and z-scores, exact values, working with logs of any base, evaluating recurring decimals, calculating with series etc. are all supposed to be operations that you need to figure out, not have a calculator do for you.

    For Eliot's poems in MOD B, is it two poems in an essay always the minimum?

    Yes. You really can't have a good range of ideas if you only discuss 1 poem.

    waste of money?

    The NESA "workbook" is not really a resource for practicing. It basically has the paper, full mark responses for each section as written by students in the exam, and some commentary from the markers. Basically it helps you see what makes a good response, but doesn't really help you practice your...

    Pen recommendations?

    Pilot G2s are great! I recommend you try out the 0.7mm ink though, it's smoother which will help you to write faster.

    How hard is year 12 economics?

    The exam pages have thicker lines - I think 6 to 8 pages is about 900 words which is doable for anyone with exam pressure and enough planning.

    How hard is year 12 economics?

    If you've particularly enjoyed topics 4, 5 and 6 in prelim then I think you will enjoy hsc eco - it goes much beyond basics into the economics of the real world and the issues we face.

    Assistance with Prelim subjects

    It's good that you enjoy and do well in mod 4 because a good part of hsc content is based on those concepts. You will need an understanding of mod 1 and 2 for mod 5, but it's easy enough to revise and if your new school is better then you should be able to do it well. Maths Ext. 2 is also...

    prelim yearly papers

    I think maths is the only subject where prelim content effectively carries over to the hsc.

    Is it wise for me to spend 20mins planning everything out including evidence for paper 1 like 20min inclusive essay and unseen if it means...

    You shouldn't really need to plan for short answer (except maybe a quick outline in the column of your page for a 6 marker). I recommend planning the essay for about 5 minutes, but definitely not more than 10. Try doing practice trials so that you can get an idea of your own pacing and style.

    Mindblank - Unseen text how wud u approach it

    I'd argue the opposite - from the gaze of the three in this image it appears that the adults are engrossed in their technology, while the baby seems fascinated by the world outside of the screens. This could be the paradox because we believe that it would be the opposite since younger...

    Internal Ranks Stress :(

    Try searching '[school name] annual report'. There will be a section with hsc results that tells you mean marks and maybe the amount of band 5s.

    how shud i approach this q

    1/f(x) has VAs where f(x) has zeroes (the converse is also true). The graph shown has asymptotes at 1, -1 and 0, so you can eliminate A. Then, test the sign of points at x=0.5 and x=1.5 to determine the equation.

    Technique name

    You could say 'breaking the 4th wall' - although it technically refers to a performance technique.

    Does taking chemistry provide any benefits to physics?

    As said above, 2 sciences gives you the opportunity to use and master similar study techniques. But, you will need to learn two challenging courses at the same time, and it's likely you will have depth studies and tests about the same time which really adds pressure. Basically, do both if you...
