I was in exactly the same position as you at the end of yr 11. I knew i was dropping Chem (i just couldnt take it anymore, even tho i was going ok in it) and i was down to 10 then picked up 4 unit and i knew i couldnt drop. You just have to convince yourself that your gonna work for it cos you...
^
lol where did you dig this out of??
I dont think that english should be compulsory the same way maths isnt. Maths is way more useful than english anyway. We use it more in every day life.
also, i think that the examination style is unrealistic. When are we ever going to write 3...
lol how dumb was that "explain how thought and reality are different" q? i wrote next to it "english was last monday" and my teacher wrote under it "i agree!" lol
i JUST failed by 2 marks... no option Q and our teacher is hopeless + 4u the day before and SDD the morning of, but i still wanted...
i failed physics (48%). Just 2 more marks and i would have been tying last with a pass dangit... i hate how theyre all crammed together...
their on the same day for the HSC too (my last day :D thank goodness i dropped chem!)
i got 52/120 for CSSA trial... im not very happy with it but i was kinda expecting it cos we had everything in it and we hadnt properly gone over harder 3u or mechanics...
i got 57/84
i thought the exam was a bit harder than previous years and the questions took longer to do - if i had more time i reckon i could have got 65
i got 67.5 but i was hoping for something better - i would have done better if i didnt have 4 unit the day before and physics the arvo after *shakes fist* :)
Re: CSSA 4 unit paper
i think the q was if P(x) has a multiple root and P(x) = x^5 + ax^2 + b show 108a^3 = 3125b^5
what u had to do was say
P'(x) = 5x^4 + 2ax
=x(5x^3 + 2a)
and since P(0) doesnt = 0 then x = (-2a/5)^1/3
and then put that into P(x) and solve
heh i just saw...
omg im freaking because
1. our teacher is useless
2. i had 4u today and therefore havent studied physics at all
3. i have SDD tomorrow morning so thats what im spending all my time on now
4. theres only an hour between SDD and physics
:( im a bit stressed....
by this time tomorrow i...
heh im doing SDD and there are 6 girls in my class - there were 9 of us in yr 11 but our teacher is hopeless and so 3 of tem dropped and the rest of us are just studying from the text book...
so there :P lol :D
hmmm... it wasnt much fun, but thats just my opinion.
also having the 2unit people surrounding me and some of them from my 3 unit class being all relaxed wasnt a really good feeling lol
evil... very very evil.
but also not as evil as i expected... at least it was better than the last...
when i opened the paper i felt like cheering cos i thought "good! it will be like an HSC exam and their generally heaps better than the CSSA trials ive done" ao i was going well till i hit about q4 and then i hated the circle q but i kept going then that volumes q was a bitch. then q5 and the...
oh man! i hate it when q1 is hard - it puts me off even as soon as i start reading.... maybe i should read the others first lol...
i think its strange how the trial structure is diff to the HSC - you'd think theyd make it the same to get us ready. idk
i dont think so - my teacher was saying that 60 % is a good mark and after he found out that the writer changed he said 40 %...
weve got everything - we rushed harder 3u and mechanics BIG TIME and i cant remember some of the conics stuff, but i think im ok... its on in 2 days... 1 day left to...
