    HSC Biology Marathon 2017

    Looking at the marking guidelines, it says nothing about stating the technology; "Correctly relates widespread use of the reproductive technology to changes in the genetic composition of the population." So based on this and the wording of the question you're not expected to know the...

    Advice for Applying to St. Mary's Senior High School?

    You're only expected to wear the school uniform on special occasions. On a normal school day there is a "dress code." The dress code is plain green, grey, black, white or yellow clothing + nothing offensive or revealing.

    Graduate medicine, dentistry and pharmacy

    That's cool, sounds like a better option than sitting GAMSAT. Would it be worth sitting UMAT if I got an atar of 93/94 or would that be too low even for medicine at WSU?

    Wait you're allowed to do UMAT after yr 12?

    2017 - Trials Discuss here

    Re: 2017 Trials Discussion Thread For the subjects I do, my school only did CSSA for 3u and English. Haven’t got all my results back but this is what I’ve got so far. For 3U I got 64/70. This test in particular was very hard, and the replacement question that was given was ridiculous, with...

    Fave 3U topic??

    While I generally like most topics, I absolutely hate perms and combs with a passion.

    Am I going to fail year 12?

    Rather than starting next week, why not start now? Saying that you're going to start next week is just another excuse to procrastinate more. It is possible to get a high atar but it's going to be an uphill climb; most people that do get a high atar spent prelims figuring out what's the best...

    help

    The best thing to do is understand why you're getting the questions wrong. You could try look at the working out for the answer and try to understand the process of getting to that particular answer. Though the only way to get better at math is to practise it, so you have to be able to apply it...

    How much to write for AOS Section 1?

    Just wondering, how much or how many techniques should you use for 3,4,5 and 6 marker questions in the reading section?

    Type of pen to use

    I used to use BIC Cristal easyglide but I injured my wrist from too much writing(ironically it was math). The way I write was that I put too much pressure onto the page with most of my pen movement coming from my wrist rather than my whole arm. Recently I've been using Artline 200 Fineliner with...

    Advice for Applying to St. Mary's Senior High School?

    To be honest it'd be better if you just stick to one page. From what I heard they just skip ones that are too lengthy or don't go straight to the point.

    How is everyone going for prep on trials and HSC...

    While I do agree with WildestDreams about burning out, just like what pikachu975 said I could squeeze in more math papers. I'm not that talented at math so I have to expose myself to every kind of question possible multiple times to do as well in math as others that are more talented than...

    How is everyone going for prep on trials and HSC...

    Wow that's pretty crazy having 3 trials, no way I'd be able to handle that level of stress. I do intend to study every week after trials but I'd probably save all my energy 2 weeks before HSC since I don't want to burn out. Probably focus on math after trials since I'd be better of leaving the...
