    Year 12 final days...

    Definitely don't need that many hours in uni. To be honest, you're best off just doing a few hours consistently per day (so you don't have to cram in right before an exam like you would be normally doing for HSC prep). Only time you need to grind is obviously before exams (probably 2 weeks...

    Can someone please send me their conclusions for the merchant of Venice?

    Essentially nothing new should be mentioned in the conclusion; everything should have been said in the introduction

    How do I write quicker?

    Might sound stupid, but don't grip your pen too hard in an attempt to write faster. You'll just end up getting hand cramps like every 30 seconds (which was the mistake I used to do)

    Year 12 final days...

    Haha, no way near as bad as HSC. The pressure just isn't there to get maximum marks like is the case in uni. Heaps of time for socializing and making new friends

    HSC starts in a week… Now in a day

    I ain't gonna lie ... I had a mini party after finishing Paper 2 last year, just because of how much I detested English. I was quite lucky that my next exam was 4U Maths, which was 4 days after, so I could afford to spend the rest of the day of English just chilling.

    Year 12 final days...

    Honestly for me, having graduated last year, I look back at graduation and our formal as two of the most memorable experiences of the entire year. Graduation was great because it was the last day before not seeing each other for a month until HSC exams, until which everyone was going to be...

    Why do I feel somewhat calm for the HSC exams?

    It really does change from person to person in terms of how they will tend to feel with a week or so left before the HSC. Of course, at the end of the day, it is absolutely normal to feel somewhat nervous or worried (again, this can vary on a 'scale' for different people), as it's probably the...

    Paper one

    I can give you an example of what an average and what an exemplar thesis would look like. Consider the question "Politics illustrates the ultimate powerlessness of ordinary people. To what extent is this view represented in your prescribed text and one other related text of your own choosing?"...

    How Many Words For Paper 1 Unseen Texts

    You also have to consider that if 2 people were to have the same length responses (say 1.5 pages for a 6-7 marker, which I think would suffice), people obviously have different writing sizes which means that they may be a big difference in the number of words despite the same length answer...

    graphing integrals and derivatives

    For graphing the derivative of an original function, there's a few tips I can give you: When there's a peak (concave up or down), the derivative will be 0 (a horizontal line), so you can mark this as a point on the x axis, directly above or below the peak I would then draw a dotted line from...

    Commerce yr 9

    From what I've read, if it's a child in school who is the culprit, they can quite obviously get suspended or maybe even expelled, depending on the degree of their actions.

    Tired?

    Oath, like honestly, nothing tops that last week of Year 12. I was lucky in that restrictions had eased last year, so we were able to do all that stuff last year. It definitely must suck though for this year's cohort who missed out on that.

    Tired?

    I think there's definitely reasons why people consider it as both the worst and the best year. Of course, exams and assignments are the death of most people. Especially pre-trials and pre-HSC, that few week block is probably the worst moments for sure. I'd definitely say the competitive nature...

    Football discussion thread

    Honestly, I'm not sure how that win bodes for United fans, as it just means Ole probably stays in the job a bit longer. There's no way they can sack him after a 3-0 win

    Football discussion thread

    Can I also add, I gotta give some props to Arsenal. Like after their first 3 games, I thought they were done out. But they haven't lost a game ever since their 5-0 loss to City, and in terms of form since then, are actually one of the best teams in the league. I know it's still very early (still...

    Dropping Physics

    I think it's a bit more than double; Aus = 26mill, UK = 67mill, but yh, I get your point

    English help

    Just some basic tips, but they will go a long way. 1) Practice plenty of different questions (past HSC, private school, public school, Catholic, etc) 2) If possible, try practicing with a 5 minute deficit (that way, you are used to writing in less time; in the actual exam, you will need time...

    Acturial

    I'm not exactly sure on the grades required just yet to be able to get a job. But a distinction isn't too hard considering you put in the necessary effort (consistent and dedicated)

    Dropping Physics

    With regards to the med entrance scheme here in Australia and requiring a much higher UCAT score than what would be deemed as competitive in the UK, I guess that comes down to supply and demand. The UK, I believe, has 37 med schools, almost double the 19 we have here. So more available spots...

    Face to Face

    Personally, I don't get the point of making people do their last names. I do get that some people may choose inappropriate names on their jerseys. But at the end of the day, students are in their last year and just want a bit of fun or creativity. So even if they can express that through jersey...
