    Is 95 Atar Possible

    Is 95 Atar Possible

    We all know it's you Omed, there's no need to say they're your friend's marks. Anyway, using the raw mark database and an ATAR calculator here's your estimate: 83.65

    2013 CSSA Physics Trial

    For the rocket question: For part of it I said since a is proportional to 1/m, as mass decreases, acceleration increases. Did I have to also mention a = F/m, and since F (thrust) remains relatively constant, acceleration increases? Since even though a is prop. to 1/m, the force could...

    How specific can they get with essay questions?

    For example, I'd never be able to answer a 25 mark question on the Korean War alone. Would it only ever get as specific as "Assess the impact of the early crises on the development of the Cold War"?

    2013 CSSA Mathematics Thoughts?

    It was fine at the start, but by the end it became very difficult. Hoping for at least 80-82% (band 6 aligned) Did anyone find it was harder than past papers? I think 8 marks allocated to the last question (c) was too much

    How do you avoid the overuse of words like 'thus' and 'hence'?

    I also seem to have the 'thus' type link at the end of my paragraphs. What are some better linking-style sentences to use where you don't say something like 'thus, this is how...'?

    Volume question

    Thanks. 'They' is the people who wrote the answers to this practice test thing

    Volume question

    The region bounded by the curve y = sqrt(1-x^2) and the x-axis is rotated about the x-axis. Find the volume of the solid formed. This is pretty straight forward, but they've simply found the area between 1 to 0 and not 1 to -1, so they found the area of a hemisphere. I thought you just find...

    Stressing Out!

    That's impossible. Assuming regular pages, that's about 2000 words for an essay, which is far too long anyway...

    The most enlightening video you will ever watch about electricity (1948)

    Obviously some of the information about atoms is better understood now (electron's probability cloud rather than orbits), but that doesn't make this video any less valid.

    The most enlightening video you will ever watch about electricity (1948)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5sF06nBPeg You know, I never really understood what electricity was, but holy shit, this video explains it perfectly. It is succinct and its clarity is unrivalled. Even the Motor Effect is explained in sheer brilliance @ 15:00 - 17:30. 18:10 - 20:00 is...

    atar estimate please :)

    What are your raw marks so far for your internals? Also, does your school mark harshly, average, or softly?
  19. Hypem

    atar estimate please :)

    I'd say in the 60s, possibly low 70s depending how well you do on the exam.
