Hey wonderful people of BoS! Over the past month or so, I’ve had quite a few people ask me for tips and advice regarding how to succeed in HSC Physics. Unfortunately, I don't have quite enough time to answer each and every person who’s asked me for help, so I figured it’d be better if I wrote...

Re: Flop math question thread

For everyone's info, I'm currently in the process of writing a guide for Physics (giving my tips/advice and answering common Q's ppl ask me)

Here's an outline for a possible experiment: Recording with a video camera, project a ball in front of a grid on a wall. Knowing that the frame rate of the camera is x fps, and knowing the scale on the grid, analyse frames from the camera on a computer and locate the position of the ball at...

Yep - planning to do both. What about you? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Finally someone who's doing the same course as I am! (kinda) Bachelor of Science (Advanced Mathematics) 1st year

It is a simple unit to express acceleration, and can simplify calculations It is easy to understand, because we are accustomed to feeling 1g in normal everyday life (remember g-forces are measured relative to free-fall)

Bachelor of Science (Advanced Mathematics) @ USYD (w/ Sydney Scholars award)

I personally want to give my recommendation for drsoccerball - not only is he extremely knowledgeable and talented when it comes to mathematics, but he is also a heaps friendly, chill guy who no doubt will support you throughout your HSC (or whatever grade you are doing). I definitely recommend...

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT PLS EVERYONE TAKE NOTE (once someone literally backed into the side of my car because they weren't looking)

When first looking at a question that you are unsure of how to attempt, try and notice anything in the question which reminds you of anything else you've seen before. When actually starting to attempt the question, try out all of the ideas that you have, and see where they get you. If you're...

Use several textbooks, watch youtube videos addressing the given concept (e.g. Eddie Woo), research online Personally, I didn't really start going through past papers until I had a good understanding of most of the topics in the course. To make it easier for yourself, I'd recommend not jumping...

I'm unsure about raw marks, but I can confirm from personal experience that a final HSC mark of 100 in 3U does not guarantee a state rank

Physics raw marks: MC: 20/20 Core: 51/55 Option (Quanta to Quarks): 24/25 Overall raw mark: 95/100 Final exam mark: 97

Can I just make very clear that it is definitely possible to achieve good marks from a low ranked school. Last year (2015) I managed to get 99.90 at a school which was ranked in the mid 300's in 2014 (that being said, the rank was a bit better last year). Don't use your school as an excuse for...

For Physics, I used Physics in Focus as my main textbook, and also had a copy of the Excel Physics book. I'd recommend getting PIF for your hsc year, but it's not necessary if you're already going to be using another decent textbook like Jacaranda. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was aiming not to get the dot

All calculators - 99.95 Actual - 99.90

Congrats dude!!!!!!!!!

:p Well done man, happy for you that your ATAR exceeded your original expectations :)
