What's the layout for sciences?

Is it just MC and S/A? Or are there essay components?
nup. Just usually a 7/8 marker in the S/A.

so MC --> S/A --> Option topic which has short answer questions and also a 7/8 marker.

Wow that's pretty sick, regret doing all humanities just a touch, but then again I've heard that the marking criteria is pretty fucked so maybe I didn't miss out on too much

They mark pretty harsh and some questions are pretty fucked up
Question 21

"John throws two equally weighted coins upwards. He does this while doing a wheelie travelling with a velocity of 20 m/s on a bicycle and juggling two knives and a bottle each weighing 1 kg. Assuming that John is a farmer who owns three pigs and a horse, calculate the total of all the mass in our galaxy, hence the possibility of the universe ending when each coin lands on their sides."

and the 5 mark ester question

When predicting the 6-8 mark responses in the science courses, please consider the questions that were asked in the previous years' HSCs, ESPECIALLY last year (2014). They can technically ask it again, but generally the chances are EXTREMELY UNLIKELY.

However, if you're using that as an excuse to not study a syllabus dot point, you are being stupid. It can easily be downgraded from a 7 marker to a 2.

wat, don't you get to keep them for free after HSC?
Mine got "confiscated" after I took the screen, keyboard, RAM, and hard drive out used it to repair/improve my personal Thinkpad.

Ok, sure, I'll happily give back the shell and mobo!

You can interchange laptop parts? I have an allergy to that crappy laptop but I could take the RAM and HDD out since they're pretty decent?
