    Biology Question

    Oh opps, I didn't read the question properly. The diagram shows 2 stages of meiosis. You look at the second diagram. I haven't touched this in a while but basically in meiosis (and mitosis) your chromosomes/ chromatids swap alleles (crossing over), line up on the equator, then get pulled apart...

    Giving away stuff

    I would just give it to the library tbh. If you're worried about people not using the library resources; those students who are likely to use the books you give them are probably more likely to look into the library for any resources they can use. Similarly, students who might sell your...

    Biology Question

    A, B, a and b are all alleles. An allele is just a gene found on homologous chromosomes, in corresponding positions or loci. So possible combinations of alleles in that question could be: Ab, AB, aB or ab

    2015 BoWs - Progress page. Thoughts and feelings?

    Yup, I've heard the same; that they start marking it pretty late - compared to when we hand in the works.

    2015 BoWs - Progress page. Thoughts and feelings?

    I heard from my teacher that they're changing it so we know nominations after our HSC art exam. Apparently this change was evoked by the realisation that art express nominations were going to affect students' HSC theory exam. E.g, if you were nominated, you might slack off on the final exam, if...

    Creative Writing - Non-Story Formats?

    Do you happen to know what year they've specifically asked for any of those? :) Thanks~

    2015ers Chit-Chat Thread

    Yeah, see, we get the same amount for maths approximately, but my school's relatively crap in science lol Your science cohorts would be considered stronger than mine - (based upon numbers of b6s); unless you have crazy large cohort sizes for those subjects.

    2015ers Chit-Chat Thread

    :o I'm honestly surprised. Schools around your school's rank should be getting over 15 b6s for English - unless you have an exceptionally small cohort. On the other hand, I'm somewhat surprised at astroman's cohort too lol. I go to a top 10 school and we only get around 50~ on average/ the top...

    Which is close to nothing for the record; at least for my texts.

    Likelihood they ask for 2 related texts?

    "you must spread around some rep before giving it to pomsky again" :') so true And best of all, unlike your school teachers, HSC markers don't actually know who you are, and therefore can't check/ don't care if you've used the same related.

    Polymerisation of glucose

    which is pretty much what I wrote in the next two lines LOL Also, Idk if it's possible, but I've never seen the n used in written equations and not structural.

    Which unis indicate these weightings?

    Polymerisation of glucose

    ? I don't understand what you mean by third line but water + cellulose are the products of polymerisation of glucose if that makes sense. As in if you wanted to you could write water on the second line :) It doesn't really matter. The formation of water is a byproduct of 2 or more glucose...

    Identity Narrative Ideas???? Preliminary

    TBH I wouldn't focus on the plot so much. Creatives in English, with the exception of Ext 2 English, are rarely plot driven - or the ones which do well are rarely, due to that you're writing only 800- 1000 words and not a novel. Ideally you want to be conceptually driven instead. Your creative...

    How to memorise quotes??

    I would say write out your essays, since you're going to be writing in the HSC. But if you're in a rush/running out of time, reading a essay out loud is the way to go (for me anyways). I find it's not as engraved in your head as roting by writing, but it's so much faster. Plus if you're...

    tbf, you do have more than one essay per paper for the trials :P Isn't it like 6, including the reading task? 45* 6= 270 papers

    Hours for English (Extension 1)

    Depends on the person, but I personally didn't do 2-4 hours per week, out of my own time. I'm the lazy type who never does more than I probably should though, so take it with a grain of salt. You want to be doing at least say 1-2 hours every week, to make sure you're on top of things, but it's...

    Quick questions

    - I think breaking of double bonds is better than a loss. - Catalytic cracking is the breaking down of large molecules to small molecules using a catalyst. Cracking is the break down of large molecules. (Remember there's also steam cracking)

    2015ers Chit-Chat Thread

    They're not technically meant to do that, although I guess that doesn't really deter anyone. But most trials are conducted in a manner where student ID rather than name is used - in which case, Drsoccerball's teacher shouldn't have been biased.

    2015ers Chit-Chat Thread

    They can sort of glide when they're young - mine started flying ish at around 6 months (I think); at that point in time her beak was still slightly black, like it wasn't bright orange yet. I don't really keep track of the time but they can fly when their wings grow out and they have to have some...
