    Engineering Studies

    I don’t think the scaling is absolutely atrocious (yes it’s worse than many subjects) but you can definitely still get a 99.95 with it (as evidenced in UAC’s scaling report). I think the reason for its not amazing scaling is that: - it’s not an overly difficult subject (compared to high scaling...

    HSC 2020 Q20

    Yea when I did it I got 7.65m. Maybe they purposely made the drawing a little off (or we’re just bad).

    HSC English Word Count

    Apparently our school is weird about how quote numbers. For mod A I have 22 quotes total (5, 6, 5, 6 across my paragraphs as paragraphs 2 and 4 are about my second text and have a quote from the first text within their paragraph). For mod B I have roughly 17 (3 paragraphs each with 5 quotes plus...

    HSC English Word Count

    Probably as long as you fit in enough quotes that are fairly spread over the course of the text. For me my mod A is about 1200, mod B around 1100 and mod C is like 600 creative and 200 reflection.

    Were 2020 and 2021 HSC exams easier?

    My science department said the physics and chemistry ones were hard in 2021.

    HSC 2020 Q20

    yea use what oztone said (you'll need to print the question out to measure it with your compass). Also its cool to finally spot another engo student on here - like literally no-one does this subject.

    CASIO fx-8200 AU - new calculator coming next year.

    NESA mightn't approve this calculator for HSC use tho, it might have too many features.

    What to expect at a selective school

    teachers might be on at you about writing on paper cause thats what you gotta do in the HSC exams. EDIT: in reference to the ipad

    Is 3U math enough to get a really good ATAR

    I would email them in the holidays and then first day back to school go speak to maths head teacher / year advisor / deputy principal / someone important. Cause missing one lesson of 4U is fine but it very quickly becomes near impossible to catchup. Or dont do that and just stick with 3U. At...

    Is doing 3 sciences hard for year 12?

    definitely not impossible, just requires consistent hard work (but most/all HSC subjects need that anyway). Guy at my school does chem, bio, phys, 4U maths and adv. english and he's like top 5 for chem and phys and 2nd in maths.

    When does our DOE email account close?

    My school sent a message saying we had 180 days from when we “left school” (yesterday for us)

    Is 3U math enough to get a really good ATAR

    Maybe speak to people in your grade and try to find someone who isn’t 100% sure about 4U and get them to drop so then you can do it?

    Radiometric effect

    TLDR: don’t talk about the paddle wheel as evidence for the electron as a wave/particle unless the question specifically says to

    Can I use a pencil in HSC? Also can I use a blue pen?

    I’m pretty sure the main reason for the black pen mandate is that it scans best. So if you’re set on use pencil at least using a dark type.

    Physics question help. I don't know the working out for these questions and the formulas properly

    Your 0.01 should be 0.1. Then you get roughly 2.4x10^8

    What's easier? Biology or Economics?

    I dont do bio or eco but my general advice would be just do both for a little bit (like up until the first assessment block) and then drop something.

    Atar Estimate?

    heres a rough approximation putting in marks that I think you should be able to (relatively easily) obtain

    Atar Estimate?

    Being asleep at 2:44am will help too lol
  19. Vall

    Any idea what atar i am heading for?

    Could be more specific on "good ranking"?
