    sryy another binomial q help plss

    This might have been mentioned but it'd be easier if you dedicated just one thread to any binomial questions you might have, rather than having to create a new one every time. It'd also be better for you as you can access all the questions at the same time, rather than having to open multiple...

    Should I be reading my prescribed texts in the holidays?

    Some schools will inevitably do the same texts for each module (as there are way more schools than texts). But within a school, each module has a different text. So in my HSC, I had John Keats' Bright Star for Mod A, King Henry IV for Mod B and these short poems for Mod C (forgot who they were by)

    how to state rank?

    Well, just to give you some numbers Biology --> around 19,000 students for 2020 HSC; around 1300 Band 6s (so very competitive for Band 6) Chemistry --> around 10,000 students for 2020 HSC; around 1300 Band 6s (bit easier, but still competitive) So it's fair to say even getting a Band 6, let...

    Using pencil to draw diagrams/graphs

    For every subject, black pen must be used, including when tracing over graphs. Thus, using pencil first to draw graphs then tracing over is the best thing to do

    The Big Bang Theory

    I'd say TBBT is what it is because of the characters (Sheldon, Raj, Leonard, Howard, etc) more than the actual storyline, while with B99, that's got more of a focus on the storyline, but also has good character development (Holt, Jake, etc)

    Chemistry help

    For A), you need the equation first, which would be Mg + 2HCl --> MgCl2 + H2 Then, you need the moles of magnesium and the moles of hcl n(Mg) = m(Mg) / mm(Mg) = 2.40 / 24.305 = 0.0987 n(HCl) = cV = 0.5 * 0.4 = 0.2 As question states it's difficult to see if magnesium is present, you can...

    HSC ATAR Estimate

    Adding on to what jimmy said, it would also be nice if we knew how many people have got Band 6s for those subjects over the last few years (you can find this on the HSCNinja website), to gauge a better understanding of whether she is on track for Band 6s

    Actuarial vs Engineering

    I'm an actuarial student myself currently, so I'm more than happy to let you know more through PMs in depth about what the course entails, building on from what jimmy said (if you are interested).

    Year 12 Holidays

    Keep in mind that you don't want to burn yourself out before Term 4 starts, but you'd want to make the holidays as productive as you can. So finding the right balance is key here. With the advice I would give, note that it may not work for you, so you should also try out different variations of...

    Physics question help

    Well, I don't think we can actually answer the question without the graph which is mentioned in the question. Is there any way you could send that through as well?

    Hoping for a 91-94 atar :/

    Well, by looking at these figures you provided and your results, using your current ranks, they wouldn't put you in a Band 6 position at the moment. However, you still have 50% of your entire HSC still yet to do. That's the best chance to perform well in those, and hopefully get moderation for...

    Any advice can help

    As someone in university also trying to get into medicine, I get your concerns as I also had these during high school. With the UCAT, performing well in this doesn't get you into medicine; it gets you an interview provided your ATAR is sufficient for whichever universities you are going to apply...

    Textbook recommendations

    Based on what you mentioned, I'd probably go Pearsons. I also used Pearsons last year and it was really good. I agree that it goes into depth, but at the end of the day, there's nothing wrong with going into too much depth, I guess

    Thoughts on ATAR Release date?

    I'd agree that it makes it less important getting ATAR first then exam marks. However, with the traditional way, everyone's more stressed (especially as they usually come out same day) and frantically using calculators to get a predicted ATAR. Now, it ruins the suspense (may be beneficial for...

    specific pen for the hsc??

    Just make sure to go over with black pen, for example, in Maths or the sciences (Chem, Phys, Bio) if you have to draw a graph

    LAT advice

    Well, for people who do law at UNSW, from 2020 data, their average LAT score was 79. So if you can get 80s to be safe, then you have a very good chance alongside ATAR, where the median was 96.9. IMO, it's better to look at the median rather than the lowest score, to be safe and maximize your...

    Oh yh true, it does link to the VCE website. That's my bad, Jacaranda must be only used for VCE, not HSC. Not sure why my teacher mentioned it to us
