    Economics Short answer questions

    Hey! Personally, I wouldn't say theres a strict structure you need to follow for short response questions. What I found more important was making your response flow logically, which is more evident in longer responses for 5-6 mark questions. Especially for these longer questions, you're looking...

    How would you structure a response to this question??

    I was so happy with this question in the exam, it was so good. Adding on to what @yanujw said, absolutely tackle each part of the BoP, but be smart about it. If you must mention it and then don't really go that in depth about it, the examiner is gonna be thinking "what the hell". Rather...

    Eco stats for HSC

    Okay, so, sat my HSC in 2022, did economics. Did I put stats in any of my short responses? Maybe one stat overall in the short responses. It's not really vital in short responses as you're mostly demonstrating content knowledge and understanding. For short responses, you're better off memorising...

    Is Economics hard?

    While econ is definitely content heavy, don't think of it as all stuff you have to memorise, actually learn the content. While it can seem like it's just stuff you memorise, there is an underlying logic and interconnectedness between the areas which if you learn and practice, it becomes so much...

    pen recs?

    I modded my pen for Muji ink lol, I loved the barrel of my Lamy Safari Rollerball but the m63 refill was ungodly expensive for how crappy of an ink it is. All the mod was tho is putting a bit of folded up paper at the bottom of the barrel to make up for a little height difference with the muji...

    EE2 2023 Thread

    Seeing as how you're so passionate about this, I see no reason for you to change from an Absurd play! Honestly, taking a more psychological look into the effects of the Absurd sounds really interesting and could work really well in the Theatre of the Absurd if you pull it off. I'm not too sure...

    EE2 2023 Thread

    Hey! Okay, speaking as a student who just did extension 2 english in 2022 with a creative nonfiction piece about Absurdism and the Absurd condition, I would say for one, don't let the NESA feedback intimidate you out of what you want to do. Is the feedback important? Absolutely, but it isn't...

    How do you make notes? Digitally or handwritten?

    100% agree, having handwritten all my study notes and everything, I could recall so much more, and also it saves from the temptation of just copying and pasting from any digital resources, so it forces you to read all the stuff and pick apart whats important

    USYD Dalyell Scholars

    Hi! So I've been reading up the Dalyell Scholars and was unable to find any info regarding what the study type has to be. Does it have to be full time or can you be in the Dalyell stream as a part time student? Next year my units per semester will likely border between these two due to a...

    What is the strongest balsa bridge design?

    Can you apply second moment of the area to the structure as a whole considering it isn't a single rigid beam with a uniform cross section? Additionally, the entire purpose of a truss is to distribute loads throughout the structure, so it is entirely possible for members along the top chord to be...

    Do you need to be good at Math??

    So in Year 11, you'll learn about the circular flow of economy in terms of the 2, 3, 4 and 5 sector models of the economy. This comes back later in Year 12 where you learn to do some basic calculations involving finding the equilibrium income based on the leakages/ injections approach or...

    Mathematics Extension 1 HSC thoughts

    Yeah I got D as well, if you just spam in progressively increasing values of y the gradient results in constantly positive values and D was the only one that exhibited something like that

    Engineering Thoughts

    something along those lines. I used a graphical method cause that's my failsafe when I don't know how to do a question analytically lol

    Engineering Thoughts

    Kind of terrifying in reading time, especially some the truss and glider questions, but in the end it worked out pretty well! The glider question with the mass was kind of off putting if you had the slightest clue about how much a glider actually weighs, so what we all (my class) got for the...

    Engineering studies predictions

    If you have time, make sure you know your drawing and calculations stuff. Calculations especially can be quite straightforward but make up considerable marks of the exam in my experience. In terms of stuff to memorise/remember, I guess things like steel microstructures would be good? There is...

    What are the terms and from what year's paper is this?

    eco essay plans

    Personally, I've never been one for prepared essays or essay plans. Given how content focused economics is, provided you know your content, you shouldn't have too much difficulty in answering essay equations and thinking of what to write, often the essay question will tell you the exact areas...

    Can we get tested on a related text for common module?!

    I'm pretty sure we do not, and don't worry not a dumb question, same thing freaked me out before trials. Good luck!
