    Repeating before getting results back.

    i would have until after the trials (before the school submits the marks to the BOS) to decide whether to retain my previous mark or take a new one wouldn't i? coz at least that'd give me some time to think about it. if i got ext 1 out of the way that'd be great. although it might be tough...

    Selective schools?

    josh who? i know/knew a few joshes at my school. true that selective schools do give competition. however, i think it also puts more stress on students (particularly for those who don't work well under pressure - they shouldn't really be there anyway).

    uh, SHM. mistake in solution?

    sorry, took 12:10 as being in the afternoon (stupid me). so yea, 4:12am. with the 10h 32m, i wasn't too sure if that was right, but i used a formula to do it. i dunno if everybody used the same one as me: x=x<sub>0</sub>cosnt + v<sub>0</sub>/n*sinnt. where x<sub>0</sub> and v<sub>0</sub>...

    but referring to the original post....we might possibly get marked down if we do?

    uh, SHM. mistake in solution?

    by using 12:10am as *low tide*, i got 4:12pm as the earliest time. earliest time is 4.02 hours after low tide at 12:10am. and (i think) the latest time is 10h 32m after low tide i.e. 10:42pm.

    projectile motion - answer wrong?

    just on "clearing wall" questions.... i did a couple of those from fitz. and got them right, but how do ensure that the particle clears the wall and doesn't just touch it? e.g. if a wall were 5m from the origin and 5m high, u can't just sub in (5,5) into the path equation to find the...

    Deriving Projectile Motion Equations

    yea. coz some guys in my class went through the whole "integrating from first principles" process when they were asked to prove that dN/dt was a solution of N in a "Newton's law of cooling" question....waste of time (and they didn't get the answer anyway) so i guess the best way is just to...

    interpretation...

    i think (but u might want to check with some other guys too) that if you make a transcription error either from the paper to the booklet or within the question, u won't get marked down as long as it doesn't make the question easier to solve. that's only in the hsc exam though. as for internal...

    Maths textbooks

    cambridge and fitz. are often harder than hsc exam questions. e.g. the questions in fitz. for "newton's law of cooling" are much harder than the generally basic ones in the hsc exam.

    Selective schools?

    i always push myself as hard as i can....even at pius. i've got some pretty good competition, despite it being a non-selective school. however, there are probably only about 5 people who give a lot of competition in each subject (currently). the rest are good, and they're close behind but...

    is this in a book on shelf, or an actual area dedicated just to hsc papers/resources?

    limits question

    so basically, as long as each of the numerator and denominator are differentiable and give 0/0 when substituting x=0, u can use l'hopital's? does it also work for lim<sub>x-->a</sub> tanx/x, for any real number a?

    Deriving Projectile Motion Equations

    true.... but i'd just like to know for sure.....just for future questions. btw. in ur signature....don't the two Is and the + make I+I? that's not really an H is it?? :)

    Preliminary vs HSC - difficulty?

    ?? so they're "moderated"?

    Repeating before getting results back.

    for now, i'm only talking about term 4. coz in term 4 we have hsc assessments, but we haven't actually got our hsc exam results back yet. but if my 2U mark is good, i'll keep it but also try 4U. if i stuff up 4U, i'll revert back to my 2U mark and stick with 3U.
