Hello Bosers... My school is ranked 63rd currently. The subjects I am doing for next year are: Mathematics (HSC) Maths Extension 1 (Going to 4 unit) English Extension 1 Physics Modern History Engineering Studies Studies of Religion I (HSC) ... What ranks do I need in all of these subjects for...

Just a simple question. What would you do in your reading time for any School Certificate exams? It's 10 minutes long! I would try to see the extended response questions and go through MC... Wbu?

Like for History, Geo, Science and English responses, how hard would would they mark us? Because our Hist/Geo coordinator is super stingy about giving marks to a student that are within doubt...

I have a very strong mathematical background. Coming 1st in my grade in maths... So, will it be essential to get a tutor, given that I already do Maths and English tutoring? Or should I make a head start instead by using the textbook instead??? :confused2:

Hey Bosers! I'm in Year 10 and in our school we are given the privelege to finish the HSC course for SOR I without doing the Prelim course. How do you memorise loads of content and present it in an essay? Such as about Pope John XXIII (our first topic)?

hey just wondering if the real school cert would be easier than my sc trial. my school is ranked 63 so whereabouts does a mark of 91 in my trial put me for the real Sc?

Hey everyone! I am so annoyed about some of these multiple choice options that seem so similar! In History, there are some MC questions that look easy, but very hard to answer considering the other options. Similarly in science, some of the most logical answers end up being wrong because they...

Hey everybody. How intelligent do you think selective students are and what kind of marks do they get for an average student. Let's say they go to Girraween. What would their report be like? I'm asking these things because I believe I have potential to get in a selective school even though it's...

Being an accelerant doing his Mathematics (2 unit) exam in Year 11 2012 gives me many queries about the upcoming term. 1. From now on, does every mathematics assessment we do get moderated and scaled for the HSC cohort in NSW? 2. What others textbooks should be 'attacked' because I don't like...

I had a problem today at school. I discovered physics, economics and legal studies were on the same line and I want to do both physics and economics because I have an interest in them and think I'll do well. The secondary problem is that once we choose either physics or economics (one of the two...

Hey guys. I'm in Year 10 accelerating 2 unit maths and I came across a trigonomic identity which I found almost impossible to prove. After the exam, I heard that you have to 'cross-multiply' to solve it by some students in Year 11. I never came across this before. Isn't it just LHS = RHS? I...

Hi I'm in Year 10 and I'm doing physics next year. Anyone know how to study this course effectively to achieve a band 6? I looked at the study guide on the common threads but I didn't really understand it well (especially the syllabus section). Please share your advice and experience. Thank...

Hey guys. I need some help about studying for Science. Can anyone tell me the process they took for studying for an upcoming Science exam? I used to take notes and then memorise them but they didn't work in the exam - there were many examples in practice in relation to the theory. THANKS

My school (Parramatta marist High School) does not let us choose our own subjects and (apparently) doesn't give higher-scaled subjects to us unless we are within a specific rank. - Firstly our Mathematics department is in poor shape. We get around 50-55 people who are not allowed to do maths...

Hey! I am at the last 3 weeks of the subject selection process. I'm just wondering whether I should take english extension in addition to english advanced. I am currently ranked 8th in English in the grade, and the Head of English told me I'm definitely invited in the course. But I've heard that...

Hey I'm in Year 10 and I am interested in our school's accelerated Studies of Religion 1 course. The head coordinator is recommending me to take it because of my high english marks and I think it will be a relief to finish it earlier, if I make a few commitments into my studying. The only...

I'm doing advanced english next year (currently in Year 10) and I need an expansive list of connective words used in an essay and also synonyms so I don't repeat the same word. Thanks! :uhhuh:

Hey I'm in yr 10 doing accelerated math and I want to know the definition of the point of inflection in calculus. Our teacher went ahead and we were going through it today but I missed a lesson recently and was confused. I need to ask some questions: (1) What is the point of inflection? (2)...
