Scaling does cap a lot of Subjects. Capping basically means 100 aligned =/= 100 scaled. I think Modern is the lowest scaling uncapped subject. Or maybe Bio. But most caps are 99-98, so it doesn't matter.

Yeah James Ruse is just GOGOGOGOGO NERD RUSH. Fun stuff. We settle our battles in the classroom. And this time, it's personal.

Just finished Perms combs, revising Locus and Parabola (Focus, directrix etc) and then we have Parametric Eqns invovling parabolas. And that's it for Prelims, I think we have Further inequalities (Absolute values etc) next term, but I think that's after Prelims. Then we start HSC work yay!

I'm very very easily distracted. After getting my wisdom teeth taken out Friday I have done no work/study. Nil, nada. I'm terrible, but my report also says otherwise, so it's all good. Just give yourself an internet ban and yous hould be sweet. When I actually knuckle down I can go 3-4 hours of...

Maybe the kids are just shit and didn't study bar a few?

I'm doing Chem this year, but I'm only really doing it for my Distinction Award (gotta fulfil 8 categories), although some stuff does help with HSC Chem.

Yeah hmm it seems like too slow for me. I did it in my exercises, but once I got the hang of it, I stopped. Do not that I set out my first line of substitution in full, so I dont automatically simplify or anything.

Well as long as you do really well who gives a stuff if the others fail. If they say you did shit just say not me.

Good answer by Kurt but is there a need for all that setting out. I normally jump straight into the line y' = etc. Why do you need to establish u' and v'?

Mate James Ruse has quite a few dud techers as well, of course there are brilliant ones but there are some terrible ones as wel.. 4/5 Physics classes in Year 11 have teachers that I wouldn't really like. 2/7 Chem classes have the saem problem. The Geo class has the same problem. Ditto Music...

At my school you'd probably get about 99.75+ with those rankings, but I dunno otherwise.

Highest ATAR.

Look up Starship Pain, it's Morrison's finisher and it's awesome. I watch WWE weekly.

Yup that's right. I think the 1 guy that doesn't want to do Maths doesn't have it counted but he does still turn up to Maths classes because there's nothing else to fit in the slot. Chem is the most popular non English/Maths subject, because a lot of girls don't take Physics. The guy that...

http://www.adn.com/palin/story/852419.html]Sarah Palin to resign as Alaskan Governor This is pretty funny. Now, I know we don't really care about American politics but this deserves its own thread. A lot of us have hated the shit out of the woman, a lot have though she was hot, whatever, but...

QFT. My handwriting is so large that I fit 4-5 words per line and I write about 4-5 pages in exams. Regardless, I still score highly due to this, as teachrs think i've written 4-5 pages and don't realise it's 900-1000 words. it also helps that I focus a lot more on quality rather than quantity.

Just posting up the rest of my rankings. 2U English - 16/166 - 95 3U English - 13/150 - 47 2U Maths - 49/165 - 96 3U Maths - 61/156 - 48 Chemistry - 90/150 - 87 Modern History - 5/19 - 90 Economics - 19/88 - 93 As you can see, other than English it isn't really all that good.

2U English - 95% : 16th That was my best in terms of marks and equivalent rank (all my other subjects have less people to compensate for higher ranking if it occurs).

Maths people tend to get higher UAIs, they just work extremely hard in English to make up.

We don't have lines at James Ruse. We just pick subjects and get allocated timetables based on those subjects. When I have Econmics, others people have Chem, others have 3U English etc. The only time the system has not worked is when you don't pick Maths. All Maths is run concurrently, so not...
