  1. Q

    Do i have a higher chance of getting a better ATAR in a 30 ranked school than a 200 ranked school

    Both can happen when people move to a selective school. Not everyone is the same so the selective school environment won’t affect everyone in the same way. Two things to think about are friends and travel - how will switching schools impact that? Regarding your subjects, you can do well with...
  2. Q

    Selective errors

    lol that's new... most siblings wont want to go to the same school
  3. Q

    What do ya reckon atar estimate? Is mine accurate

    Defs 98s not sure about 99+ looking at ur ranks but there’s trials + externals to go.
  4. Q

    HSC Atar Estimate (bad internal)

    Derailing the thread here but it's okay. Realistically, you're probably going to get an E3 for 3u and 4u and a B6 in Chinese which means you should be able to stack on about 5ish bonus points for subjects (yes they just pile them on lol - literally the unis just want your fees). (but still study...
  5. Q

    HSC Atar Estimate (bad internal)

    I will note that UTS (and UNSW and USyd) generally has much lower cutoffs than they advertise bc they ham up on the bonus points. 80+ will defs get you in.
  6. Q

    HSC Atar Estimate (bad internal)

    It's good to admit to yourself where you are at realistically, but don't put yourself down.mThe important part is that you use this to put in the work instead of giving up. Sometimes all you need is a bit of a change in mindset.
  7. Q

    HSC Atar Estimate (bad internal)

    What areas are you thinking of? It’s not the best strategy to go blindly into a course and try to transfer “up” - what happens if you never get the marks and get stuck? I think you could get 93 if you absolutely pop off during trials and keep the momentum up for the HSC
  8. Q

    Please help with part b of this integration question

    No this isn’t the proper way to prove it using a substitution. You start by saying let u = a - x. Then you find du/dx, find the new bounds, then sub everything back into the original equation to change it from being in terms of x to in terms of u. This method should be familiar if you are doing...
  9. Q

    how is there like 5 days left...

    As I previously stated, standard almost exactly scales the same as advanced for marks around 70+ (for some reason band 2-3 weird stuff happens). However, the alignment is different. A person in adv would need like 79-81ish on the exam to get an 89 whereas I probably achieved a 87ish in standard...
  10. Q

    how is there like 5 days left...

    Lol I did standard and did alright… But yeah band 6 lowkey what’s the point. theonly case where dropping to standard actually works (from what I’ve seen) is when the person can adequately write and express their own opinions/ideas but just struggle with the complexity of the advanced texts. Ppl...
  11. Q

    how is there like 5 days left...

    Yep generally it lies below 1%
  12. Q

    how is there like 5 days left...

    Everything. They use the common module to peg the abilities and do the necessary alignment.
  13. Q

    how is there like 5 days left...

    Standard band 6 is difficult bc the standards are aligned with adv. the idea is that a 90 in standard has the same English ability as a 90 in adv
  14. Q

    Society & Culture Mini Pip help

    Where is the cross cultural aspect? The PIP is not just a report on a subject - it is a sociological investigation. Tbh I would struggle to do it on state govt corruption as it would be difficult to incorporate a cultural investigation and conduct primary research. If you are interested in the...
  15. Q

    Emergency PIP HELLPPPP!!!!

    ^^ self reflection is one of the key qualitative research methodologies in SaC so you might want to do this - might be meaningfulto your log as well.
  16. Q

    How is your English Extension 2 mark calculated?

    Note that the school mark is moderated with regards to the cohort's external performance as per the HSC usual. So the whole rank swappy thing applies as well.
  17. Q

    Emergency PIP HELLPPPP!!!!

    Yes, this is a valid cross-cultural component. My cross-cultural component was even more micro than that (asian-australian immigrants living in ethnic enclaves vs those who do not), but as long as you can draw comparisons you should be fine.
  18. Q

    MX2 Integration Marathon

    Note that \frac{\sin^{-1} x}{\cos^{-1} x} \neq \tan^{-1} x so some of your working is incorrect.
  19. Q

    MX2 Integration Marathon

    Use the fact that for 0 \leq x \leq 1, \; xf(x) \leq f(x) with equality holding for all x iff f(x) = 0.
  20. Q

    Hard integral, help.

    This is Complex Analysis which is a year 2 uni subject so I’d assume no. You will not get integrals like that in the HSC.
