lol, silly me. I've only just been taught how to differentiate, so I was kind of looking for some way to get the answer... But I forgot the basics of algebra. lol

I'm stuck with this differentiation question: Given y= x(x+1)^3, Show that dy/dx = (4x+1)(x+1)^2 So far, this is what I've done ( I'm not too sure if I'm correct) You use the product rule and the chain rule, and I got u=x, u'=1 v=(x+1)^3, v'=3(1)(x+1)^2 (You use the chain rule...

You could get a wide variety of metals and create different environments for them, and see which of them corrode first. E.g. Iron, Magnesium, Copper, And have water, salt water, air, vinegar (acidic environment)

Really? I find this very hard to believe. Most public schools just can't afford what private schools can afford.

Agree. You're getting free [decent] education and most parents spend that money saved on tutoring. A lot of parents see this as a good investment, hoping the money they spend on tutoring and education pays of when their son/daughter enters university.

I don't agree with this. Like Treble says, not all selective school teachers are good; Thus one of the reasons students look for tutors. Some teachers may not even have to teach much, since most of the kids are getting tutored. But in saying that, there are still some excellent teachers at my...

That's a rip off. Even Matrix aren't that expensive, 500 dollars per subject, a term and you get qualified teachers/ professors. It only gets more expensive if you're in year 12.

But if you don't do adv. english well, it could lower your UAI. It depends on your english level; If they recommended it, I'd take in their advice. They would know your skill level. ESL scales better then standard english though.

If you go to a selective school, it doesn't mean you have good teachers.

He goes to Pius in Chatswood, which isn't that bad of a school, it's ranked around the 100's.

Matrix for chem and physics, For maths.. an alright college would be Harry's Education Centre in Burwood (next to the MP's office). English, probably you don't need one or find a private tutor.

I don't think he needs your luck.. He's already in University I think.

We had our last day yesterday, No SC results or certificate. Only a school one congratulating us on completion of junior secondary education. I was also led to believe the certificate and results get posted out at the same time, so everyone gets the results around the same time.

I find this comment quite amusing. Have you even been to a private school..?

Except that most guys who do IPT are accelerated, and do their HSC for it in Year 10.

If you're thinking of doing medicine, I'm pretty sure that at least Chemistry is a pre resequite and maybe another science (I could be wrong) Drop society and culture.

Re: How Does The Sc Marking Process Work? What boredofsc was saying that your way of dividing by 2 and adding 50 is not the way the SC mark is calculated. If they were using your way, if you got 93/2 + 50, it would be a fraction... If you had read the posts by cem, she clarifies the way...

A lot of schools will have finished by then.. well at least private/catholic. I think some public schools finish on the 5th too.

Well.. if they were to make it out of 100, they would have to add 10 marks somewhere.. so another 10 m/p or 10 more marks of short answers.. or another extended response or something.. I think the way they've set out the exam is very fair.. Like if we had to write another extended...

Yea, I agree that they are. They used to be Andrew Denton's scripwriters for his interviews; I think he was the one who supported them to be aired on TV.
