You don't want to hear this, but do what you enjoy. Neither of those subjects will do you any good in the HSC if you are torturing yourself to go through them. Since we are 7 weeks into the term, I suggest you find 2 people who do eco and english and see their workloads and materials - do you...

Not really. (Warning, weird useless flex alert). I think of myself as a good math student (Accelerating the 4 unit course this year), and I haven't ever made it to the selection camp for maths olympiads. I have come close but never reached there. The skills needed for math olympiad are very...

I have actually come up with another theory - English is there to stop STEM students (Hear me out). A lot of stem subjects have a lot of crossover in the sort of skills they need (i.e. physics needs math, engineering needs physics, so on). These skills are usually characterised by...

I'm thinking of taking a professional Python course (Already know C#). Would you recommend it, or just stick to learning C?

For future reference, the best ways (I find) for looking at combi problems in the HSC is to break up the problem. Most problems (Like the one above) lend themselves to divvying up the cases into groups which you can use the basic functions you learned in class. Another tip is looking for ways to...

Apologies - I tried my best to answer the question and I simplified it greatly, which resulted in a wrong statement. In the context, I thought it would give as much of an answer as I could provide, as I agree it is a stupid question to ask in HSC chemistry. The post above is much more useful. I...

I updated my response look at it. The answer I got was twice your answer. Check if this is right.

As stated, any number is divisible by 3 when the sum of its digits add to a number divisible by 3. This means adding a 3 or a 9 in any position in a number will not change whether it is divisible by 3. The next insight is that 5+1 = 6 and 1+8 = 9, both of which are divisible by 3, but 5+8 is not...

c) For this, you only include 4 digit numbers. The actual answer should be 2*3! (4 digit numbers) + 4*3 (3 digit numbers) + 4 (The 2 digit numbers) + 1 (The one-digit number) d) I have to go to class, will post solution later. Sorry.

I would like to revive this if you don't mind - please see below: I have heard many theories over the years, but no-one I know really knows the definitive answer (There probably is one). I always thought that English really was quite stupid - the only thing I could think of to support it is...

Apologies, have a nice day

Hello All, I have one very simple question - why is English the one compulsory subject in the HSC? I have heard many theories over the years, but no-one I know really knows the definitive answer (There probably is one). I always thought that English really was quite stupid - the only thing I...

I know, but just for the the general stuff some good responses, for example my teacher keeps drilling us with this weird relationship stuff (Like how is your relationship with this person, what are the qualities of your ideal partner) and I just wanted to have some good responses in the pocket I...

Hi guys, I was just wondering for anyone who did continuers German whether they had some good responses that they used during the speaking assessment. A lot of the people I have talked to didn't necessarily memorize them, but had a word document with them (Just to refer to them in case) Thanks

I knew how to answer the question, but thanks anyway :)

Where do I find those trials? (Both the ones from last year and earlier years?)

I have my next E1 (Yr 12) exam on binomial theorem (It really is just a ton of 2u topics and also binomial theorem, real weird) Would anyone be able to give me some good questions? Just to give an example of the type of questions I am looking for, the following was a sample question on the...

I won't do the question for you, but from what I understand, you need to sum up the geometric series to that point. The first 2 only ask you to find certain terms, and for the next one you need to sum those terms. As such, you use the formula: a(1-r^n)/(1-r) Where a is the original starting...

Hi, Can anyone tell if they have received invitations for the olympiads yet? I know EES and Chemistry has already been released, but I am mainly looking for physics. Thanks!

Hello, Would anyone be able to help by find some english techniques within the following piece (Unbroken by Lauren Hillenbrand)? I am trying describe how the beam is shown to be very heavy in it, but other than just saying it, I don't seem to be able to find anything. Thanks! The Bird marched...
