    Rumour... maybe?

    I'm not too sure if this answers your question entirely but I posted one tip on this thread, http://community.boredofstudies.org/showthread.php/261156-How-to-study-well-and-effectively

    How to study well and effectively

    Well here is a basic tip that I follow: Grab yourself some extra notebooks/exercise books and use 1 for each subject. At the end of a school day, come home and don't turn on the TV or try to steer away from any sort of entertainment. Now we will use maths for this short example. Think to...

    Scaling/aligning of HSC marks

    So I was reading this Rumour... Maybe? and read this and reminded me of something I had thought about for a long time... I was just wondering, will my marks get 'dragged' or 'scaled down' if I am in a school of ranking 270-300 for 2010 according to HSC School Rankings and have the current...

    Maths Ext 1 Question

    Hey, just posted a thread but that was mathematics not maths ext 1 so I thought making a new thread would be appropriate. In the figure, two tangents are drawn from the point P(3, -2) to the curve y=x^{2}-7 . Find the equations of the two tangents. (Note that the point lies...

    Mathematics Question

    *Facepalm* Right, thanks heaps. I was thinking of a tangent to a line and completely forgot about that ;P

    Mathematics Question

    Yeah just realised that I wrote 3/9 instead of 2/5, sorry about that. Why is the angle between the two lines referred to as the 'tangent'?

    Mathematics Question

    Thanks haha, just realised that there was an fx button -.-

    Mathematics Question

    Not understanding this maths question entirely so any help would be appreciated. Lines y=mx + b and y=5x-9 intersect at an acute angle whose tangent is \frac{2}{5} . FInd the possible values of m . I don't really understand the bit where it states 'whose tangent is 2/5'. Thanks...

    School camp - Compulsory?

    So I'll only probably have to go to school for a bit then leave or not go to school at all and it won't affect my preliminary HSC. I hope...

    School camp - Compulsory?

    Well it says this camp is 'compulsory' and we 'expect to take every person' but all camps say that... So I don't really know....

    School camp - Compulsory?

    But is it compulsory? I read up and it said, "students who do not complete this blablabla do not fail the HSC course blabalbla"

    School camp - Compulsory?

    Yes, it is crossroads at Mt Morisset. What do you do there? Is it seriously compulsory...?

    4 Unit Maths at another school

    Hey, I'm only in year 11 however next year I believe I have to go 'cross-campus' to another school to take extension 2 maths as my school can only provide extension 1 maths (not enough people doing extension 2). Just wondering, this won't have any sort of 'different' affect on my ATAR right...

    School camp - Compulsory?

    Just wondering, school camp Yr 11 coming up and apparently it accounts for 25 hours for the amount of hours we require to attend school. Am I screwed if I miss out on it? Also, I haven't missed a day of school.
