    do you guys think you’ll be taking a gap year?

    Sorry don't have an idea around that. You will have to look at each early offer terms and conditions to see or call up the uni

    do you guys think you’ll be taking a gap year?

    If you are taking a gap year you should have some type of plan of what you will do during that time to make it worthwhile. If it's just to relax and have a break then you probably don't need a whole year for that and it can then be hard to go from not studying and then going back to it because...

    how many T.S eliot poems are we supposed to know?

    In general for the poem type of texts you need to know all of them. The reason for that is because in past HSC English exams sometimes they specify a poem you have to write about. So if you don't prepare for all of them then you will have a big problem in answering the question if it is specific

    Past HSC questions and answers

    Aside from the reasons mentioned. Many of the older exams for subjects like sciences don't have any sample answers uploaded and so you wouldn't be able to check if your answer was correct or not. The books are useful in that respect too

    Keep making algebraic mistakes - any advice?

    Slow down and be more careful with your steps is the first thing. Rushing it can cause the mistakes. Also practicing more doesn't mean you are going to reduce your silly mistakes. If you keep doing the same mistakes over and over the practice is what is causing you to do it because you are...

    Tables for Science

    They probably mean the clamp and retort stand. I guess if the question is not worth heaps and they can understand what the student is trying to suggest they might be a bit lenient

    Year 11 for University?

    You get offers for uni degrees based on your ATAR. The only scenario in which that would be important is if you are applying for something like early entry or a scholarship then maybe they might ask you for that extra information in helping them make a decision.

    thoughts on online delivery?

    The travelling aspects sucks a lot I know that as well as it takes me around 3-3.5 hours a day in travelling in total to uni. So I feel your pain on that. It can be really annoying and tiring. However one thing you are overlooking in that is that you don't need to go uni every day. It's not like...

    thoughts on online delivery?

    That's the ideal scenario though in terms of it all goes well which may happen. However I would make sure you have a backup plan. If say for example you try and can't get into medicine since some people won't as it's very competitive, then you will be left with a degree that won't leave you with...

    thoughts on online delivery?

    I don't think it's a good idea for that type of degree. It can work for degrees like business ones however not in my opinion for something like engineering or science which needs other skills than just knowing your content. Social side as you outlined isn't important but degree quality and what...

    First person pronouns (I and My) in Module B, Yes or No?

    I'm not exactly sure what Mod B is like now since I did it in the old syllabus. However I got a 97 in advanced english and I used pronouns in the Mod B like my understanding. I also opposed some of the critic comments i included by giving my own opinion and specifying by saying something like...

    Tables for Science

    Not all of them are full marks. It says band 5-6 so there will be some that will lose some marks. Although incorrect terminology as outlined by CM_Tutor, you probably wouldn't lose a mark for something minor like that.

    Tables for Science

    Not sure sorry. I just have that link for the chemistry because I tutor for the subject and a student sent that to me before

    Tables for Science

    This may happen in an individual school. However the teachers who are hired to mark the exams have to follow very strict guidelines for how they mark things so it is consistent. This is will not be a problem in the actual hsc

    Tables for Science

    No this is a myth. Why would a student be penalised for a minor formatting issue? The purpose of the exam is to check you understand the content not to be marking people for such a small thing These are band 5-6 responses for questions to the HSC 2019 Chemistry Exam as determined by the people...

    Mod 7 polymers

    2n -1 is usually what is used if you have 2 different monomers being added together. So for example: n monomer 1 + n monomer 2 --> polymer + 2n-1 H2O

    BoS trials Maths and Chemistry 2021

    Yeah it is a select number of people. Moderators are often involved in it as some of us are completing or have completed a degree in that area so we are able to write a more difficult paper using that in-depth university knowledge. I wrote and marked the 2020 Chemistry BOS Trial last year by...

    Please help with this chem question

    Q is called the reaction quotient. It is used to describe the ratio of products to reactants in a reversible reaction. K (the equilibirum constant) is a specific type of Q, when a system is at equilibrium. For HSC this should be enough of an explanation for those 3 statements: The system is...

    Please help with this chem question

    Write equation for precipitate formation: 2AgNO3(aq) + K2SO4(aq) --> Ag2SO4(s) +2KNO3(aq) It is a Q type of calculation: Ag2SO4(s) < -- > 2Ag+(aq) + SO4 2-(aq) Q = [Ag+]^2 [SO4 2-] Our goal to solve the question is to find these 2 concentrations so we can sub it into the Q A dilution...

    Chem Help - Enthalpy of neutralisation

    Yeah this is correct but I guess for purpose of HSC they just have to calculate like that as that's what taught in textbooks like Pearson Chemistry
