    one more week until school

    Pretty much. You'd have been lucky to score above 80, I think. Not only were the questions difficult but the time constraint was ludicrous. I might upload it next week if i can be bothered... Also, with the ruse exams, yeah, they're probably the hardest you're gonna get. Although supposedly...

    one more week until school

    I would aim to improve more, ruse averages on their complex tests tend to be 85+ D:

    Timetables

    We get ours on first day back. Also, do you guys get to come to school late/leave early if you have the appropriate frees? Because we get to, and I'm wondering if it's a common thing... I hope I get double friday 7+8 off again, that was heaven : )

    Nintendo 3DS

    ROMs have been said to be 2GB in size, so flashcarts are almost out of the question D: And at this stage, if I get one, it'd be after the HSC when I get a job... Hopefully when a revised, smaller, cheaper version comes out or there's been a price drop or KH3D comes out. :D

    one more week until school

    31st for me. Not looking to getting 4u back.... don't want to know how badly I failed. But then again, I guess so did everyone else... hardest complex assessment I've ever seen T___T

    Complex Numbers Questions

    Okie doke, seems straightforward enough. (I now remember that factorising method heh). What about the other two? :)

    Complex Numbers Questions

    It seems I'm a bit rusty... anyone care to jog my memory? 1.a) If z^5 + 1 = 0 and z is a solution, prove 1 + z^2 + z^4 = z + z^3 b) By considering real parts of both sides of part a, show cos(pi/5) + cos (3pi/5) = 1/2 2. Find the locus of z² if Re(z) = 2 That's all for now :)

    Updating of the HSC syllabus

    It varies. The syllabus for every single subject was changed in 2001, the English syllabus was changed in 2008 for the 2009 HSC, the Economics syllabus was changed in 2010 for the 2011 HSC, and the SDD syllabus was changed in 2011 for the 2012 HSC. Often there very very minor amendments to...

    Effort required?

    I guess I was being a bit general there; after all, at our school we do have a support unit which is included as a part of our HSC rankings by smh/whatever... but if I had to revise my statement, I guess I'd say that anyone who thinks they're capable of around 80 would be capable of achieving...

    Effort required?

    You need to know your natural abilities first, definitely. It really varies; I know a guy from ruse '10, put in barely any effort, gamed throughout the HSC, and quote "I probably put in less effort for HSC than prelim", and he ended up with 96.35. Of course, that's a guy from ruse; I also know...

    Quick thread -How much derivation in Parametric Equations of Parabola is required?

    Re: Quick thread -How much derivation in Parametric Equations of Parabola is required I think it's implied, but you can tell. You may ONLY state/assume the general form of the tangent if its given. This is standard for anything in parametrics/conics. You are only allowed to quote what they give...

    Need Help with knowing when a graph approaches an asymptote from ABOVE or BELOW

    I'm not entirely sure what you meant here, I got completely lost... But in answer to your question, to find out where the graph cuts the asymptotes for equations in the form P(x)/A(x), you should polynomially divide them through to split them into two parts like so: y=Q(x)+R(x)/A(x), which, for...

    Quick Question - Derivative of exponential functions

    Only if the base of the exponent is e. If it isn't, then you have to multiply by the natural log of the base as well.

    Maths Ext 2?

    O_O Our teacher makes us do 1-2 exercises a night... sometimes 3. Your workload sounds so relaxed D:

    Who are the top 49 students in the 2010 HSC ??

    HSC 2010 School Rankings

    Let's not speak too soon. :) It will all play out this year, and trust me, the grade is well on track to come EXTREMELY close or even beat that school down the road ;)

    Share your 2010 ATAR here

    Whilst I don't do any major work subjects, there are a few things I'd like to point out. At least with major works, you can work on them throughout the whole year, and for some, which consist solely of a major work, namely EE2, once it's done you'll be left with very little to do. I personally...
