What does it mean if I was coming second in a course, and my external mark was a fair bit higher than my internal?

Ooh much thanks to both of you haha x]

A parabola whose equation is y=ax^2 where a is a constant' has the line y=12x+3 as a tangent. By using the discriminant of the quadratic equation found, find the value of a Thanks >_<

I'm in the same boat, except I'm contemplating doing Bach. of Science (Biological Sciences) which probably has far worse job prospects =/

I was taught that gene expression was the process by which information from genes was used to synthesise proteins and was comprised of two steps: Transcription and translation. But after further reading, some textbooks say gene expression is the process by which cells become specialised i.e...

For those that include >4 techniques per paragraph...How many paragraphs do you write? O_o I cannot fathom how you can fit so many techniques and quotes into one para.

Haha it's not actually unmentionable. It's more the fact that no-one in the class knows ranks...Not even a rough ranking.

Lack of motivation. After I graduate, hopefully I'll motor on and study

Any more estimates? Heh

Wow really? O_o Did not expect to get estimates of 90 considering my ranks aren't stellar nor is my school rank ;O

Hello. Is there a way to decipher whether or not your notes are comprehensive enough for a topic? Whenever I make notes according to a dot point, they are quite succint and the information very brief. I don't just read the dot point, and then suddenly all this other information flows back and...

All my ranks were okay except for Chemistry LOL FAIL. Need to up my Mathematics rank!

Not happy with mine. Two exams on the same day, then my worst subject on the subsequent day.

Hopefully going to Hong Kong :)

You'll be alright. Preliminary Biology is barely present in the HSC course apart from aspects such as xylem, phloem etc. Even then, you will revisit the content in greater depth. But I'm just basing this off the two core topics we've covered thus far -- Search For Better Health and Maintaining a...

No regrets for Preliminary. I did the bare minimum that was required and was, still am, content with what I achieved. Just make sure you don't fall behind your cohort. But one disadvantage for me personally is that I still haven't developed a study schedule/pattern and am finding it hard to...

Lower HSC marks that Trials/Half yearlies

Good luck for your half yearlies! I have 2 more to do and then I'm done. I can smell freedom!

My half yearlies (or as my teachers put it, Mid-Course) examinations are next week and I'm feeling the stress immensely. I'm so underprepared for it that I'm already freaking out about it. My advice for you? Definitely do not leave studying till the last minute unless cramming works for you or...
