    Bury your head in the sand and study other subjects so that they pull you up.

    Predictions

    Penultimate projectile motion question that models a rapidly falling object much like one's ATAR, followed by a phat 6 mark binomial proof. I am quite terrified now after 2u.

    2U Maths Exam Thoughts

    *falls off chair* *clutches throat* *reaches forward grappling for receding ATAR* I made so many errors what is wrong with me. Just like to say you're welcome in advance - my dodgy mark will aid you all in achieving your dreams as I push you all up.

    2U Maths Exam Thoughts

    Please someone intelligent do the 2 unit solutions - I need to see if I have a future living on the streets or may actually have a chance of obtaining an ATAR above a mystery mark.

    2U Maths Exam Thoughts

    I feel like a proper imbecile reading this... All these smart people. I was nervous at the start and made a few errors all of which I hope I fixed. Was on track for most of it but I feel like I didn't do that well. 16b and 16c gonna pull me down. My ATAR is descending to an absolute minimum...

    Multiple choice- first or last?

    I always do it first - think about hard questions (16) first in reading time and then do the first easy ones (MC) in your head as well.

    Help me Please

    *trigger warning* Drop and pick a real science? I don't do bio so I can't help too much but I think it is too late to be worrying about notes. I would be using the Dux College notes or a good set of notes off here or from some other website and working on memorizing - it's too late to be...

    The Harsh Truths of the HSC

    Exactly right whereas tuning on the other hand is a worthwhile lifelong endeavor - hence my very "useful" slacking off in year 11 chem.

    The Harsh Truths of the HSC

    Calculations big time - make sure you understand moles very well Make sure you understand the types of bonds that form - dispersion forces, dipole dipole Briefly understand electronegativity Make sure you 100% learn your solubility rules Acid metal reactions are built on by galvanic cells lewis...

    HSC Standard/Advanced Paper 1 Exam Thoughts

    Yeah seeing NSW Govt. logo was not a positive discovery. I felt that the unseen was lacking techniques.

    English Advanced Paper 2 [Discussion/Thoughts]

    I was kind of hoping for some more specific questions that would provide a bit more guidance as to what to write about - I really worked on not being too prepared and narrow, and then was a little bit lost initially. Gatsby & Browning - talked about how differences in values highlights how...

    Music 1 Exam Thoughts

    The questions were very straightforward, but the 2nd extract was very strange and the 3rd one had too much going on it. In the third one, I specified key changes from minor to major - was this true? And in the last one, I said there was a cor anglais, was this true? SO HAPPY WE NEVER HAVE TO DO...

    2017 HSC Question

    So obviously Hamlet isn't a conventional hero in the sense that he is really a (revenge) tragic hero, but do you think that Fortinbras and to a lesser extent are the true heroes?

    Opera Expressive Technique

    1 day till the exam everyone!! I’m just wondering what this expressive technique is actually called – the rolly thing he does with the lyrics? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tE6SRBnDHx8 1:36-1:39 “opera is there” is there a proper name for this? A similar thing in the extract 0:39-0:43...

    Music 1 Aural exams!

    I generally jot down notes of what is heard, then compile it into a bit of an essay response thingo. Go to the past HSC Music 1 paper section on NESA interwebs, and just search up each song - make sure you're listening to the write version though, there's a few times I've been very confused...

    Organic and Inorganic Tests????

    Ummmmm.... what exactly are organic and inorganic tests??? - see 2010 HSC chem 36dii? I hate chemistry so much... was enjoying it until we started all this organic rubbish in forensic.

    Years of Publication???

    Just wondering whether one should quote the years of publication/release when introducing texts in introduction?? I normally only do it for films - should it be done for all text types?

    The Harsh Truths of the HSC

    Truth #1: Don't bust your ass too hard all the way through - work only hard enough to achieve good internal rankings (the more firsts the better). One needs to ensure they leave enough in the tank for the main game at the end. Truth #2: English is gonna screw you over whatever you do - it's...

    Music 1 Aural help

    As far as I'm concerned, stating that a piece is modal is enough - identifying each particular mode is a bit tricky. If you are able to, practice basic intervals and cadences - e.g perfect 5th, perfect cadance, 7th notes, perfect fourths. Such intervals are relatively easy to identify with a bit...
