Would like some help on this too :( I'm kinda stuck on: how do I know a related text is appropriate enough to be writing for the HSC? Does it have to be a prize-winner? I feel like other books don't explore the themes into enough detail (especially since I mostly read comedy lols)

Depends, are you one of those people who like to cram and retain crammed stuff + studied stuff? Or are you more likely to work yourself into a panic attack if you read last minute notes? General rule of thumb, never study 10 minutes before exams. Also, last year they dragged us into yoga so...

Quick quesiton, do you guys look at prize-winning novels/texts to decide? How do you know if something is "appropriate"?

Always try to related something to emergency services haha. I remember writing something about holograms being good for doctors to communicate to people in dire situations such as a woman spontaneously giving birth (lol) and got full marks. And a technical negative could be malfunctioning/ lag/...

Are you worried because of the scaling? I'm not 100% sure how the ATAR thing works exactly, so someone edit me if I'm wrong lol, but from what I've heard it's generally easier to do well in higher-scaling subjects because stupid mistakes are taken into less account whereas in a low-scaling...

[/B] OMGOSH CAN WE TALK SOMETIME I'VE BEEN WANTING A DEEP BUDDY FOR A LONG TIME NOW :D Starting with: What is your opinion regarding whether or not human beings (or anything really) have a purpose? And if so, how is such a purpose determined? And to keep on topic (lewlwhoamikidding?) HI...

Thanks aDimitri :)!

Attached below Q12 a and 13a Answers are k=4 and x^2+y^2+8x-8y+2xy=0 respectively. School has only taught us the equation of the locus of a parabola at the origin. I'm not too sure what Q 13 is saying when it says "use the definition of a parabola" The whole thing is tilted- so which...

Apparently some schools start in Week 3, so I'm gonna get my act together to prep for a potential assessment in week 4 lols.

Don't just tell yourself to do it though. Actually study, like right now. I've been having the same problems as you (studying the night before, pulling all-nighters, waking up at ungodly hours to cram in statistics and formulas) and frankly what made me want to push for the switch was not the...

SO excited for Week 2 and the freeeeeeeees that will inevitably follow :) :) :) Although VA's being really nice this week so I feel somewhat guilty for dropping it.

If you don't think you can handle working independently for the entire year for ancient, drop it. I know enoilgam raised the issue of learning to cope with bad colleagues/ bosses but imho it's not worth jeopardizing your HSC (as negative emotions aren't limited to just that one subject and will...

I have 2 hours a fortnight. Everyone else has four. lewl. Maybe they thought I didn't need it? BECAUSE I SURE AS HECK DO. D:

The "Year 12" timetable doesn't officially come into existence until Week 2. And just got told the school doesn't see us as legit Year 12s until 2015 :(. Dem senior privileges. Dang. But class has started lol. I do not understand Chem. hahaha wow. Also not sure if maths is srs cos apparently...

Ohkays then :) THANKS!

Do you think you're gonna study for it in Year 12? Because if you didn't study for it in prelims and got a great mark, you might get cocky and develop a mentality that prevents you from studying in year 12 which could snowball into something you don't want lol. The other deciding factors would...

Every school will always have a couple of people who like the HSC, realise that it's probably the most straight-forward way to get to their desired Uni course and naturally are gonna try their best at it. Obviously those people are going to be the ones on a study website like BoS- the ones that...

Oh, I think there's a bit of a misunderstanding xD Since it's Term 4, my school's actually started on the Year 12 syllabus- the global economy. Would somebody be able to tell me if the above ^ is needed for that topic?

omgosh me too!! :) :) My timetable's a little screw-worthy though lawl, cos I seem to only have half of the hours required for Ext 2 Eng.
