    writing in the HSC

    Markers probably couldn't care less whether your writing is in capitals or not, especially if "i find it a lot easier and faster, and i would probably not be able to write as fast or as neat." They're not marking you on your handwriting; if they can read it, well, it's done its job. Then again...

    Predict the 6/7 Marker!!

    They might ask a question like this: "These are the reactions for a lead-acid battery. Which happens at the anode?" But not like this "Write down the reactions for a lead-acid battery" i.e. you won't have to know specific information about both.

    12 units including MX2?

    IMO its safer to keep a couple of extra units. There's a couple of people in my 4U class, for example, who dropped their extra subjects too early, and have to keep doing it despite getting an average of 20-30%... But of course it depends on the person. If you're comfortable in 3U then it's...

    Study guides - are they really THAT helpful?

    hmm... the only study guide i have is for english, and it wasn't helpful in the slightest. just getting the textbooks is the way to go, i think.

    General Thoughts: Mathematics Extension 1

    that's absolute rubbish. it had nothing to do with 4U, it's just another 3U rate of change question.

    Terry Lee's Answers to 2008 Hsc Maths Ext 1 Exam
