    How do you write chemistry notes?

    I was gonna make a joke but enigma already stole the light lol, anyways the best way is to structure your notes around your syllabus. In every HSC student's eyes Syllabus>>>>>>>>>>The holy bible (except for english, yea that syllabus is pretty much toilet paper for seventhroot). And make sure to...

    Is 13 units manageable?

    13 units is manageable, but generally it is recommended to do 10-12 units due to the sheer workload. Although you are currently doing well, there are usually times of stress in the HSC, in which the desired marks are not achieved. This generally leads to the improvement of those subjects, but...

    Accurate?

    There is a reason why Adrita is the "queen" of ATAR estimates you know...but yes, atar calculator only takes into consideration the final exam marks, which are impacted by cohort (school rank) and internal ranking. P.S. root, did you get banned for derailing again? lol

    Timing for a HSC Chem Paper

    Most if not all teachers recommend that you should give the same sig figs that are given in the question, so in this case, it is given as 0.100M, hence your answer should be 0.xxx M; same as the question in terms of amount of numbers, hence they rounded it to 0.234.

    help quick calculus

    Turning points are stationary points, there are two types of stationary points: turning and inflection. Turning being obviously change in gradient, while inflection being a change in concavity (I think lol). To find the total number of stationary points dash the first equation and let that...

    Best Resources to Have for Each Subject

    -Mathematics - fitzpatrick 2U and 3U (also cambridge if doing 3U) -English Advanced - <<<Do we even have books for this sh*t? lol -Chemistry - I used spotlight chem, but recommend jacaranda and conquering (probs the two best books). -Biology - Biology in focus and Jacaranda HSC bio (using this...

    2015 HSC Discovery Texts

    Some classes in my school are doing that text as well, while others are doing: motorcycle diaries, tempest and some other text iunno about lol. But I think we're doing Richard III for the mods (other classes doing hamlet), so basically Shakespearean play for the mods i.e. analysis or something.

    dealing with group work assignments

    Wow group assignments for HSC....in my school that's like taboo..lol. Cause now basically, a small part of your HSC is dependent on others, which is fked up as it is suppose to represent solely your intellect/organisational skills whatever. If they are as really "drop kick" as you make them...

    Year 11 results n stuff...

    Touche, I knew a guy who did his whole prelim english assignment on a train and achieve 17>/20. While I took 1-2 weeks and got like 15. Needless to say, I thought the whole faculty was bullsh*t.

    About to start HSC exams and really need the hard truth atar estimate

    Sydney Tech is actually ranked in the 20s-30s usually (from what I've heard/seen). I'm estimating, if you're lucky, ~90. But there is a very high chance that it is in the 80s region, solely due to your english rank. If you completely ace your externals, it is possible to get 90+ but currently...

    Year 11 results n stuff...

    Year 12 results reflect on the effort you put in, if you keep putting in more effort into chemistry (more than last year), I'm pretty sure any rank is achievable. It's all about the time and dedication you are willing to place on the subject. Just keep calm and study throughout the weeks for the...

    Confirmed - Square is actually god.
  16. zhertec

    atar estimate pls

    98- mid 99s (.50 maybe .60 depending on externals). English rank the main thing pulling you down, other than that, you are fine. Btw amazing ranks. :3

    A note about UNI and the ATAR

    Does "Usyd master race" exist as well?

    Is the "whatever works for you" true?

    88 Pages for chem, just finished it a few days ago, my advice is work on it progressively, doing a couple syllabus points everyday. By the time of term 2 near the end, you should be finished. Don't make my mistake that I did in prelim, attempted to make notes for 3 subjects for the end of...
