    Failing chem- HELP!

    I found that chemistry is one of that subjects that will (hopefully) just 'click' for you one day. Things fall into place and you suddenly understand. This may happen for you soon, but you need to be calm and approach it with a clear head. A few pointers: - all chemical equations/calculations...

    Should I learn the 'Chemistry of Art' option on my own?

    I did chem of art last year, and it was tricky at times. The textbook most people use (chemistry contexts 2) is good but limited in some aspects. You really need a good teacher to teach you it. Doing an elective different to your class is hard. There could be hiccups along the way. So I would...

    Do year 11 ranks usually correlate?

    I agree with this. Generally your top 5-10 will stay stable, as they're the ones who are motivated and work hard anyway. There are some that shoot from rank like 50-100 (150 kids at my school) up to about 30, because they're secretly a genius. As a general rule, hard work in the earlier years...

    How many hours are you studying?

    I've just been doing extension history project mainly. I've put in a lot of hours for it, but it'll pay off later. Finished my first full draft today except for the conclusion, and I feel it's chugging along nicely. Have neglected chem and physics though, which is a bit worrying.

    Long Responses in Physics

    Hi, For those who have done the physics HSC, or go to the 'elite' schools such as Ruse or Girra or Sydney Boys, I was wondering what is the general consensus for the best way to go about answering long response questions. I have heard a lot of hypothetical talk about it, but I want to know...
