I work with both Andy and Ally and I know first hand that they can deliver the goods- They have the marks obviously but more importantly they can express themselves and communicate concepts, something far more important than a good mark. Good luck!

Oh I can actually answer the question now, in 2012, a raw mark of 86 was a 95 exam mark in Chem and a raw mark of 90 was a 96 in phys so say around 87 or 88 there.

English- read essays and creative and work out what I was going to do. Leftover time spent on reading short answers. Phys/chem/Eco- flick through the paper to get an understanding of everything, make sure i can do everything, mentally note possible tricky spots/harder questions. I never saw the...

I think for co-op at UNSW you need at least a 96 ATAR. Also you need to be competitive generally- so good academics, extracirriculars etc

It depends. For mine they linked up almost exactly the same. You'll notice that the very top people tend to stay very top. There will however be a few people that suddenly start trying and do really well. For you, you're doing well in year 11- that implies ability and effort- you won't lose that...

Pretty sure that can't be right. I was =3rd at school in 4U and 2% off first. The top 4U mark was 98 and my assessment was 97. 4U aligns VERY favourably, I doubt you drop 3 marks if you're second by 0.5%- the only way that's possible I would think is if the next highest mark was like mid 80's...

Don't make mistakes

You should want to pay it. Cost is $20,000, and there is a direct benefit of the scientia scholarship as well as indirect benefits but ignore them. So benefit is (is engineering 4 or 5 years?). Lets say 4-> benefit is at least $40,000 so cost benefit says defs

99.95 is worth a lot more than $20,000. Firstly, you get a 10k/year scholarship so for a five year course, you have $50k there. Then also from a tutoring perspective, it is very easy to get students- hence more money here and also indirectly with a higher ATAR, you can do whatever course you want.

Look guys this is all an individual thing and depends so much on a lot of factors. I know .95'ers who did less than 2 hours a night and got state ranks with that as well. I also know .95'ers who studied 5 hours a school night. Personally, I was probs doing around 3 hours a night (and probs...

I did 2 poems and 1 related in the HSC and I got 14.5/15 raw so 2 is definitely fine.

Wow amazingly cheap- good luck =) And UNSW law- yay

A straight line can be differentiated. Consider the line y=1. This is a horizontal line with constant gradient of 0. The derivative is a function of the gradient at any point on the curve- hence the derivative of a straight line y=k for some constant k is dy/dx=0. Even other lines, like y=x has...

When it is non-continuous (i.e. doesn't exist at that point). Like y=1/x at x=0. Also when things have like a sharp corner- technically when the limit of the gradient is different when you approach from both sides. Like y=|x| at x=0

Divide both sides by cosx

I'm doing commerce/law- I'm just first year but I enjoy it a lot - though I've always loved economics. What sort of things are you interested in? And I want to go into either criminal or corporate law when I graduate

Ahh yep- sorry I didn't see that haha. And I'm doing commerce/law

Total rubbish collected will go down. This is because households now have an incentive to reduce the amount of rubbish they put out. From a cost benefit point of view, look at it like this- under the old system, the $6 covers everything. The marginal cost of putting out another rubbish bin is...

The idea behind text scaling is that the question will suit some texts more than others- hence they will get higher marks- hence scaling to equalise the process. Hamlet doesn't always scale higher than speeches for example I would say. In fact this year I'd be extremely surprised if it did...

It doesn't really make much difference if you look from a purely statistical point of view. I know quite a few people who got 99.95- out of those, its pretty evenly split between those who did 10 units and those who did more (just thinking off my head, I think there are a few more with more than...
