What textbooks do you recommend as use for this option topic ? I got excel and physics in context. i feel that isn't enough for some reason.
Jacaranda doens't have it and i don't think surfing hasn't made a medical physics one. ( wish they did )
What option topic did you pick and why ?
im deciding between Industrial Chemistry and Shipwrecks.
Got no idea what i want to do. Ideas ? Suggestions ? Reasons ?
From what i hear is that the majority of SDD exams are based on algorithms. Hearing from peoples respones in the 2002 one
however i checked the past paper and saw a 5 mark question to write an algorithm and 1 question to identify stuff in an algorithm they provided.
But that isn't that...
Explanation of HSC Marks
(NB: We've developed a prototype which simulates the moderation of assessment marks - www.boredofstudies.org/moderate.php)
Explanatory document from the Board of Studies: http://users.on.net/unix/HSCmarks.pdf
This answers a LOT of questions to do with moderation...
Seeing as ranking seems to be more important in determination of the moderated marks, would having a smaller class of like 8-12 be of any advantage ?
assuming you are doing pretty bad in a subject that has a small class
how large is the effect of different schools towards UAI ?
like say you get the same HSC mark as another person, but that other person goes to a selective school while the other a public school that doesn't go too well.
How large of a margin is it ? in terms of UAI points. 5 ? 10!! ?
well right now im doing 3u extension maths and i don't think i will do fairly well.
i do 11 units and dropping it will make it 10
however as i see it, if i still continue to do 3u but don't care about it. like if i stuff it up it just wont count.
is there any bad side to this ...
Well i got my SDD exam tomorrow and our stupid teacher didn't give us any past papers and i got no clue of the types of questions he will ask
we have to learn only the first 4 chapters of the sam davis book and only the intro of chapter 5
what type of questions did u guys get ?
well i don't really mind the popups but the one that keeps asking me to make my homepage this is quite annoying :(
any chance of getting rid of that ? :)
During chemistry exam what are given ?
Periodic table and anything else ?
because i seem to have trouble determining where a substance is a strong acid/base or weak acid/base. Is there any easy way to tell without just remembering off by hard ?
And same goes for valencies of certain...
Well currently i am doing these subjects
3U maths
2U maths
Physics
Chemistry
Advanced English
Software Design and Development
I input the details of my percentile prediction and my UAI just seems a little too good to be true ?
i got
English Adv - 80
Chemistry - 80
Physics -...
