Chemistry and physics needs more maths. The syllabus is littered with those annoying longer response questions on impacts on society. They do nothing to prepare us for university science. TBH, a more American approach to teaching these sciences (esp. chem) would probably be more appropriate...

If people feel so passionate about talking about the active discrimination between the humanities and the science subjects within the HSC, they are only making excuses for their lack of effort during the year. Those that think that they didn't have the opportunity to show what they really can...

I'm not at the ANU yet, but when I went to the open day earlier this year I didn't think it was a hole at all. Sure Sydney/Melbourne have a lot of places for clubbing and that, but who has the time to visit them all on top of study? I too go to a nerdy school and need to drop the "It's a...

My travel plans are getting in the way of my application to the PhB. When do they start giving out invitations for interviews? Maybe I can fit in a bit of travel between then...

Does anyone have any tips for answering the synthesis question that's usually (if not always) the last question of section one, the unseen texts. I didn't do too well in the trials for this question and through practise, I still don't think my response is satisfactory. An example of a full mark...

I got an HD with 22/30. Looking back at the test, I know I could have done a lot better (they asked for what reaction would take place at the cathode, and I chose an anodic reaction). Otherwise, I did a lot better than expected. Some of the questions are definitely outside the scope of most of...

You only prove my first point. To believe that someone is from an organisation on the basis of a single forum post is ludicrous.

School finished at 10:30 for me. Do you need me to send you a note from mummy as well?

The fact that a lot of you guys have obviously been fooled by a troll worries me. How are you going to be a doctor (actually a physician/GP, but that's another story) that can be trusted? It is extremely worrying that you could be responsible for hundreds of lives and yet you have no ability to...

Sorry I ignored your message, I'm not on BOS much Did you still need held with molar heat of solution?

Element 112 discovered a few days ago in Darmstadt.

8 units worth of Band 6s tells you nothing about a students rank. You can not expect to estimate her UAI on the basis of this. What subjects was was she doing anyways?

Blasphemous is know but: Chem>Bio>>>>>>Phys. I did all three during the prelims and it was alright- had a good mix and exposure to a bit of everything. Then got through the middle of Idea to Implementation and started getting annoyed with all the history in every second dot point. Did a...

zazzy1234: The OP needs an experiment where something needs to be dissolved in water, not heated by a fuel. Olivia, this is what I would do: 1. Measure out 100mL of distilled water and pour into foam cup that is in another foam cup. 2. Use thermometer and get initial temp record. 3. Measure out...

ffs, if you hate the scaling process so much drop out or get an IB. My advice: Life's a bitch- DEAL WITH IT!

omg...thanks for that info. Some hope that I can get into the course if I dont get in with my UAI. Just thought of another question. If you do transfer to the PhB after starting the BSc(adv) does that in any way put you behind in the amount you have to then catch up on? If it does put you...

I've still got another two exams this week and I probably wont be getting my UAI estimate for another month at least- see how it goes. 99 isnt an impossiblilty for me, I'm just not working at my full potential simply because of the lack of constant motivation. (Maybe I need to get a mentor or...

I've been contemplating going to the ANU for the last six months or so after I found out about the PhB course in science, which has to be my 'dream' course at the moment. However, I don't thinkI can get the marks for it, unless I completely ace my trials and final exams. My question is if...

I got my mid year report tonight. I don't think I did that great considering theres a lot of room for improvement. Course average in brackets Biology:grade-A Field trip report-75% (58%) Halflies-89% (71%) Chemistry: Grade- B Reseach task-79%(70%) Halflies- 80% (70%) Adv. English...

87.8333... Meh! Didn't bother to study. Yearlies mean more to me than this exam, all just for sheets of toilet paper.
