    Calculating g with pendulum

    Ok mate, you do realise that seanieg89 is trolling you right? He is giving you mathematical explanations that are beyond the HSC physics syllabus/ level. The reason why we want the swing angle small is to minimise experimental error. Common sense: a small swing angle will allow the pendulum to...

    does unsw look at your year 12 subjects or just your atar?

    If you get the atar of course you'll get in. I have mates that only did 2U math and they are doing just fine (as long as you put the effort in + there are consultation hours with lecturers if you don't get the theory + there is free 1 on 1 maths tutoring with 3rd year or higher maths students...

    Still Possible?

    Yes. According to UNSW handbook for software engineering you will be doing MATH1131/41 and MATH1231/41 which MX1 is assumed knowledge. Just do a bridging course or ask your teacher if you can change math classes (due to your future uni plans). No big deal.

    How bad is it to come last?

    Of course coming last is bad! You get the lowest exam mark (of your cohort) as your assessment mark! So if someone bombs, GG mate!

    estimation of what ranks i would need to get 80+ atar

    Don't worry about ranks. Aim high and do your best. Even if you miss, you can still be guaranteed 80+

    Biochemistry

    Lol there's no one stopping you from self learning another option topic (with much more resources, and maybe easier) and doing it in the HSC exam. A mate did that in my high school, initially the teacher was pissed, but still he aced chem :)

    Need help with a question

    I wouldn't worry about empirical formulas, it's not in the HSC syllabus, nor it would be of use in the HSC.

    Transfer Q's

    Hey can anyone shed some light my transfer situation. I am currently in my first semester of mining engineering at UNSW, and I am hoping to transfer to a different engineering degree within UNSW through UAC for semester 2. Does anyone have any idea of how much the mid year ATAR cutoffs change...

    Don't know where to start

    Combine the RHS into one fraction by using the common denominator. 1 + 4/(x+2)= ((x+2)+4)/(x+2) = (x+6)/(x+2) = LHS

    Minimum 1500 words in 40 minutes

    I wrote around 700 words for each essay and the creative writing in the HSC exam and got a mark of 85 for standard English. I hope this helps.

    How hard is it to get 90+ ATAR?

    Look at me, I bludged the whole HSC year and I just scraped 90 at a school ranked in the late 200's. I'm sure you're fine.

    Can a non state rank school student achieve a state ranking?

    I went a bad/nonacademic school in the Shire (this year ranked in the top 200), and two of my friends got a state rank in engineering studies and food tech respectively.
