    Scared of stuffing up

    Yes, be aware that you are on holidays - the very last long holiday before the HSC (not like 2 wks holiday). There will be enough time to both relax and make differences by working hard right now. Scared of stuffing up?--->study more Too much stress?--->relax sufficiently, then study more

    Do HSC sciences need more maths?

    Hmm, I see. Yeah, I completely agree with you on this. Indeed, maths is imperative in science. I didn't know what NQE was and so I just looked it up and it seemed like a very good exam that tests both theory and maths. Yeah, probably those who can get high marks in the HSC but low marks in...

    Do HSC sciences need more maths?

    That's quite debatable. If adding maths will ensure the true assessment of students' abilities in science, you are sort of assuming that science=maths. Science utilises mathematics as an essential tool but science is NOT maths. IMO, it's important for students to be able to relate maths used...

    Harder Circle Geometry

    Do people exaggerate the difficulty of the HSC?

    Hmm, I see. Yeah, that's true. And with 99.85, it's hard to fail to get into any course except Dean's scholarship stuff and the ones requiring other things such as the UMAT. So I think you would get in.

    Do people exaggerate the difficulty of the HSC?

    It's true that one needs 99.95 to be offered a combined med interview, but soon after interview, the one in charge of combined med at Usyd contacted successful interviewees and let them know that they were offered guaranteed places. At least, that's what happened this year.

    haha, thanks Conquering Chemistry is the most popular chem textbook for Year 11 and Year 12 and is pretty good at theory parts. However, I think Jarcaranda Chemistry (which is newer) is more thorough and sp I think it's good to have both Conquering Chemistry and Jarcaranda Chemistry and use them...
