    Why do people think Mathematics Extension 2 is so hard?

    ah yes. how about 8b of the 1989 hsc exam? they're both some of those infamous "wtf how to do" questions. no kidding, if someone (except stacey law) can look me in the eye and tell me that q8 is easy, i'd think they're crazy.

    Is English Paper 1 more important than Paper 2?

    thought that paper 1 was worth 45/105 and paper 2 was worth 60/105? For our trials everything is equally weighted at 5%.

    Should I change Standard English to Extension 1?

    In yr 11 i considered doing 4U english so that my adv wouldn't have to count since i knew it would be troll. That way only 3U and 4U would have to count. That's the only reason I considered doing it, but I'm glad I didn't haha. 4U english marks are volatile. A good story at school can be a bad...

    ATAR estimate

    haha someone's up late. I think around 94-95. English and bio are bringing you down. Get bio into the top 10 and English into like top 20 at the very least.

    How long does it take you to and from school?

    Depends on the day/situation. If I have morning class, one of my parents will drive me. Leave at about 7:15, get there at about 7:40-45 If I don't have morning class, one of my parents will drive me to parra and then I'll catch a bus. Leave at about 7:20, get to school at about 8:20. (If I...

    how do they calculate state rankings for easier subjects

    He speaks truth tho, 3u is pretty easy. none of the questions are even remotely challenging until q7, and even then they're doable :S Anyway for state ranks, you've got all the people who randomly get 100 in the exam and were ranked first in internal - they'll all get a state rank of first...

    Physics tutoring -- Need students aiming for band 6!!

    Yeah, everyone thought they went really well at first, but when all the marks started filtering through it turned out the majority of people had gotten 85+ D:

    Limits + Trig Help NEEDED!

    I like using l'hopital's rule. Also, imagine the graph at x=0 -> eg for q1 2cos^2x, as it approaches 0, sub in x = 0, cos^2x approaches 1. Hence, the answer is 2.1 = 2

    The Classic HSC Combo Package

    this lol. It's funny but eco actually scales better than phys, so if you're doing the subjects for the scaling you should be going for eco rather than phys...

    Waste of potential?

    There's a young English teacher at our school who came this year. She did her hsc in 2004, and she got 100 UAI and 4 state ranks. We all wonder why she does teaching, when she had so many options, but hey, you do what you want to do.

    2011 Trial Papers

    So has anyone been able to get their hands on 2011 trial papers? My friend's got the NSB 2011 MX2 paper, and I was wondering if anyone else has got copies of trials that have been done already. (Don't ask me for it, cos I don't have it; since we haven't had trials yet, my friend would only show...

    Which schools will rank in the top 10 this year???

    Surely someone at ruse has better things to worry about with trials next week... :P Anyway, my opinion: 1. Ruse 2. Baulko 3. NSG 4. Hornsby 5. SB 6. SG 7. Grammar And i can't think of anything for the rest. I'm basing this on people I know at these schools/people who i know who know people at...

    What pen to use? and what pens you use?

    I use this atm. Noone at my school to my knowledge uses fountain pens, except one person. I tried it once since I sit next to him in eco, and I couldn't write a sentence properly cos the positioning of the pen kept screwing with me. Jetstreams - fast, no smudge, but a bit on the expensive side.

    Why do people think Mathematics Extension 2 is so hard?

    This thread is lolworthy. Whilst I agree that 4u is overhyped (english adv is probs harder), it is by no means easy. q1 and 2 of the exam are basically gift marks, q3 and 4 are also generally fairly easy, it's only when you start getting to around question 6 that shit gets difficult. q8 is often...
