With the second question you posted, the one where you have to find the values of x - y, I just tried getting an equation for y in terms of x. But I'm not too sure if that's the right way to go about it, because you could be testing thousands of possible combinations. I'm sure there's a...

There are a lot of other factors (some in your control, some not in your control) which can determine what final mark you end up with. Your internal marks will be moderated, so a good internal rank definitely helps with getting moderated to a higher internal mark.

That sort of mindset might apply for some people, but there's a lot of people who want to achieve the best results they can (so they will aim for all Band 6s) just so they can get into their course at uni the easiest way (through high school). Otherwise, it can become much more difficult in the...

I think the main issue is that teachers promote English as a subject where students need to be able to 'adapt' to new questions and thoroughly understand their text inside out to succeed. However, what you'll tend to find from most students, generally in top selective schools as well, is that...

I didn't do legal studies last year, but I'd assume that if it got 25/25, then it should be really good. But again, that might be your view on it.

Yep, it's no longer in the new syllabus.

This is just information from the NESA website, often a very important website to refer to syllabuses and any proposed changes in HSC (extremely relevant over last 2 years). Year 11 Advanced topics: Functions Trig Functions (functions, identities and measure of angles) Calculus (intro to...

I'd agree that may work for questions worth 3 marks or less, but especially for the questions worth 6, 7, 8 marks, it may not be suffice to have 6, 7, 8 sentences. It would be expected to have around 3/4 to 1 page (again, depends on quality and size of writing). It is better to have too much...

It's interesting because these types of questions aren't standard to be assessed in any level of Maths (Standard, Advanced, 3U, 4U) in Year 12, let alone Year 11. If anything, it would fall under a 'Miscellaneous' category or a question similar to those found in AMC or ICAS. The problem isn't...

This link has 20 practice questions (although some may not be relevant to 1984; some are generic while a few are specific to 1984) https://www.matrix.edu.au/20-paper-1-practice-essay-questions-to-get-ready-for-the-english-adv-hsc/

Well, as there are 2 components to Paper 1 (unseen questions and Common Module essay), both of which you are given 90mins for in total, you could try splitting up the time differently if you think that may help you. So for my trials and HSC, I had a 50/40 split, where 50 was for the unseen and...

It is square rooted. Essentially with the equation given, you want to sub in a large value for x (don't need to test for negative infinity) as graph is even. For example, if you sub in x = 1000, the exponential term will approach zero. Thus, 1 - (something approximate 0) = approximate 1. For...

cos 2x = 1 - 2sin^2x Using this, you can rearrange equation 1 so it is sin (theta) = x/2 Rearrange equation 2 so it is in terms of sin (using double angle conversion in first line) Then sub equation 1 into equation 2 and obtain Cartesian equation.

Intuition in Epping for Maths, Sciences (chem, phys, not bio I believe). Might not be the best if you're a person who likes to go ahead with their learning (Dr Du might be the best for that) but definitely for people who want to approach at a slower pace (which is understandable), it's very...

May be tough, as past papers is something you don't want to be cramming, but rather, progressively working on throughout a period of time. Given your current situation, it may be necessary though. It's definitely important first to make sure you know the content for your subjects before trying...

I think the best way for you to go about your situation is to break it down into 2 parts: your performance in HSC (which ultimately counts for your ATAR, not your Year 11 performances) and your career decision. It's good to hear you have an English tutor and that you are improving with it. I...

You don't want to choose subjects just because they scale well if you actually don't enjoy them and don't think you can perform well in them. I'll use a hypothetical example. If you kept Maths and got a 60 raw (not saying this will happen, but just an example lol), assume it may scale up to 70...

As I'm sure you would know already, looking at your ranks, there's really good things and things which you want to improve on. English stands out for me as you managed to improve by more than 60 ranks from 1 semester to the other, which is really good. If you can maintain that good performance...

Yh, that's fair. I guess it was just to see approximately where you are in terms of band wise. Now I think about it, it definitely won't be accurate basing off your internal marks (as schools tend to mark harsher to differentiate students, but then due to strong performance in HSC, internal...
