Explain?

As long as your report is good and you ace the entrance exam, you'll get in. 99% sure they don't care about your school, nor your school rank.

tbh perfect time for studying/getting up + strong self-control.

- I know for UNSW you only get one degree for 4 years but I heard this course is better here. - For USYD, I get two degrees for 5 years. In terms of travel, I don't mind so I really don't know which course to choose.

Ok. This makes me just sad. Everyone did so well!

Wow... usually when I read stories that are meant to inspire, I don't really feel anything much. But this one was special and very uplifting. Congrats OP :))

Yeah... the first few weeks isn't much. I remember people were like, "I'm serious, I'm going to study really hard. No distractions." Then afterwards, they go back to being what they usually are. Teachers included. You'll probably get your assessment notifications though. But let's face it, not...

LOOL I think it's meant to be Elizabeth instead :L (King Edward IV's daughter)

Uhhh, you should be given a table - or a graph in this case I think. Just use the formula g= Gm/r^2 and just say the g value of ___ is smaller/larger than that of___ by ___%. Or something like that.

Um, for (b) I would do product of roots first: (-b^2) |a|^2 = -5/16 (b^2) |a^2| = 5/16 |a|>1 (you proved that in a) |a|^2 > 1 b^2|a|^2 > b^2 5/16 > b^2 (from your product of roots you know that (b^2) |a^2| = 5/16 ) therefore b^2 < 5/16

Haha some teachers just won't teach you what you don't know and need... and some don't teach at all. Then you get confused about English. Then you hate it. Saying that, watch out for crap English tutors. Especially those big classes. PRIVATE TUTORS are the way to go.

Group study is a very beneficial. You could quiz each other and fix the holes in their knowledge. I think having things like races and competition makes it more fun. Have penalties and prizes, etc. Keep it up to a group of around 4 people, and invite people who you know will effectively engage...

My school's doing it over 4 weeks (6-10), with a max of 2 assessments a week :) It's the faculty that chooses the day of the assessment, so maybe they just had similar tastes in time? Or they could just be evil... who knows.

Yeah, I would suggest you find a good tutor. Maybe the reason you find it difficult is because your teacher cannot teach properly. Then if you see no difference, you could consider dropping. There are a lot of people I know who REALLY excel at maths but choose not to do it anyway.

Wait, don't you go to Hurlstone? Isn't conics your first topic?

All the other subjects that you do are INTENSE. And soon, if not later, you'll start to feel the 'burn' and it's going to get too much. (Unless maybe you study 95% of the time or are naturally smart and can memorise everything)

You should get your teachers to see a sample of your work. They should tear it apart and provide better methods of presenting your ideas. But I recommend getting privately tutored!

I've checked around BOS and many other forums, alas, I can't seem to find the right tutor for English Advanced in year 12. Texts: - Area of Study: Heat and Dust - Mod A: Richard III/Looking for Richard - Mod B: Speeches (e.g. Margaret Atwood) - Mod C: History and Memory (e.g. Denise...

Yeah, those pages are addicting and you can't stop pressing next until you're at the end. But I need it because we have educational groups (like for English) where we talk about our homework and help each other out, etc. So try deactivating it and see how you go, sometimes it could turn out...

Yeah, it's easier if you draw a picture. let that point be P(x,y) but you know that it's below the centre so it becomes (-1,y) From the c(-1,3) to the top of the circle, just add the radius to the y coordinate = P(-1, 3+5) = P(-1,8)
