    Did your classes actually finish the Prelim course?

    Hey all, I was wondering if this was a weird issue at my school or what, but with my 3U maths class (which is the same as our 2U class) we didn't finish the Prelim course, and we still have a couple chapters to go, like: - Logarithms - Permutations and Combinations - Parametrics - half of...

    A Gift to the BOS Community

    Hey, I was just wondering, are the subjects up there the only ones you have access to atm? Was keen for Legal papers, but your papers for 2U, 3U and 4U saved my life #winning (Curious, how did you get access to all of them in the first place?)

    Binders

    I have an individual binder for each, and inside is a workbook and plastic sleeve. I don't know what I'm going to do notes wise; I may buy lots of loose-leaf and have a separate study binder at home. Do you guys put study and in class notes in different folders?

    4U Maths, or continue with Chem?

    Hey everyone. I have this dilemma, you see. I really don't want to do 10 Units next year because incase I am worried that: 1. That requires having to try in SOR1 and I really don't want to 2. That means if I only do 10 Units, I can fuck anything up majorly. However, I am finding Chemistry...

    Part time work in the Prelim year?

    I was talking with my maths teacher the other day, and he said working in the prelim + HSC years "ridiculous" I was just wondering: 1. Do you have a part-time job? If you don't, would you get one if there was one available? I personally don't have one and was interested in getting one until...

    Molar Theory - Chemistry

    Hi everyone, I just got my mid course exam (in class exam) back for Chemistry and whilst still getting above the class average my mark was still only 21.5/38 which is only 56%. My main problem was Molar Theory. I can remember all the formulae, but I can't figure out how to apply any of it. My...

    Wow - great work everyone! Obviously everyone on here will go well if we are on an online forum about studying. My average of all my marks was 87.5%. My best yet - finally when teachers say 'if you have done your best, then be proud' finally represents me! Happy holidays everyone!

    How much hours are you studying a day?

    I study for Chem and MX1/MT throughout the term, and the rest towards exam time (3wk before). They are my two hardest subjects, so it kinda makes sense?

    Difference between sophistication and verbosity

    Don't use too much sophisticated langage, but it really depends how your cohort/class is. If they are all semi-intelligent and you have a teacher that likes you/you like, then use language that you feel comfortable with. If you don't have a particularly good relationship with the teacher, or...
