Hmm some very good points that never came to my mind. Thank you!

When I'm short on time is it better to get all my main points down and omit the conclusion or is the conclusion a must, no matter how brief it is? Also do you get penalised for using dot point form (say for one paragraph or the conclusion) because you're very short on time?

If you're planning to further your education in university, what course are you aiming for? Many degrees have Mathematics 2U as presumed knowledge and I'm 99% sure that it will be a prerequisite for numerous Usyd courses (other unis will quite likely conform to this idea soon). Considering that...

I wrote a letter to my deputy principal explaining why I wanted to change subject. The main reason was because I was not enjoying the current subject and believed that the other subject that I wanted to do had much more relevance to what I aspire to study in university. fyi a change of heart is...

scared? LOL WOT I've hated my time at high school, it has been so atrocious like not even kidding. So no I'm not scared :L

Thank you so much for your help! Also, i found out that my working out was pretty much same as yours fr Q 4 and 5, its judt that the answers were wrong.

Hello, I've got my HSC Task 3 on Tuesday and binomial theorem is in it. I am really struggling with this topic like I did in permutations & combinations. Could anyone please help me answer these 4 questions: <a href="http://tinypic.com?ref=4k6xww" target="_blank"><img...

I've found that revising algebra and index laws really help - with particular emphasis on simplifying them. You reach a certain point where you just immediately see the simplification and can do it right away. Also, always try to keep your expansions as simple and organised as possible (e.g...

It depends on your teachers and your own attitude to studying. Teachers at my school give out moderate homework (of course a bit more than year 10 workload) but the rest of the heavy workload and stress comes from making study notes. Almost every single student at my school makes study notes and...

@flop: pretty much that^ LOL as naive as I may sound, I've always wanted to be an engineer since year 8 and I love the 'engineer' title rather than programmer (although computer scientist is the actual term most noobs see them as simply programmers) However, thank you all for your opinions and...

Hey guys! I received my official ATAR estimate from my careers advisor today (it's pretty close to the estimates I've received here). My ATAR estimate is: 87.10 What are my chances of getting into UNSW via FEAS? fyi I'm doing quite okay in maths 2U and Ext 1 (~80-85%) but not so well in...

chem - yea you better put effort in this because a lot of concepts in year 12 are further extensions of year 11 physics - the only things that i can think of right now are most of the formulae and The World Communicates topic - you just need general knowledge of this topic

You should really get adequate rest (7hr sleep at least) and reward yourself with free time (during this time make sure you actually relax and stop worrying about work). tbh counselling and all that only help to some extent, the rest depends on you. Sure, they can help create a timetable and...

Hi all, I'm just curious as to whether or not I need to learn the OSI model or if the Comm Sys Framework is enough for the HSC. My teacher spent lots of time going through the OSI model but I haven't seen any textbook or notes which mention this model. Cheers!

So I recently failed (i.e. not pass) 2 chemistry assessment tasks and 1 physics tasks. The physics tasks and one of the chemistry task (Mid year exam) had quite a lot of people who didn't pass, but the other chemistry task had many passes/high marks and I just screwed that up completely (i got...

According to my head teacher, HSC external exams require you to use formulae/methods taught in that course only. I.e. assuming you're in year 10, you must use year 10 methods: - Axis of symmetry - Intercepts - Vertex - Origin/centre of curve (for circle) - etc.

I'm not gonna go into how timetabling works because it's a pain. Basically every school has their own type of timetable and their own way of allocating classes - some schools have 8 periods a day, mine has 4 periods. Also note, some schools also have different start/finishing times for different...

- fountain pens - uni ball pen - Papermate InkJoy (tho for some reason the blue ones feel smoother than the black ones which is needed for HSC)

I hate to say it but this is the case for many judicial systems around the world, especially in democratic countries. There is no such thing as a perfect system in our society, because human nature won't allow it (we'd find a way to cheat the system if we were disadvantaged in some way). I'm...

I'd say let it go this time, if it happens again then report it but try to do it anonymously. Because imo some assessment tasks, particulsrly English, Science and Hidtory are unfair. You can pretty much ace those subjects with rote learning - not everyone has a brain with 100000TB storage. Its...
