    do i study

    I wouldn't necessarily be worried about how where other people are in terms of their study ... they may be putting a lot of hours a day but at the end of the day, may be inefficient. But it's definitely a good shout to talk with friends and even possible arrange study sessions if that's...

    Advice for Year 12?

    Oh ok, I wasn't aware of that. In that case, it'd be best to refer to the latest syllabus

    do i study

    Remember, you aren't able to study unless you are in a good state of mind; don't wear yourself out now and make it worse, especially if your trials aren't worth anything, like you said. Take a few days or a week off, however long it takes to get better, obviously get tested and follow government...

    chem/phys b6 difficulty

    I think the better thing to consider would be the number of Band 6s in your cohort each year, as you have no control over how well other cohorts will perform, however, by everyone in your cohort helping each other out, there could be extra Band 6s attained. For example, in my cohort from my...

    Help!

    At this stage, you don't want to neglect it (as it contributes for 1/3 of your Paper 2 overall mark). When you mention little to no preparation, does this mean you don't have any creative pieces on you at all, or may it be that you have drafts, but they aren't fully polished or that at the...

    A) Year 7 (2021): 20,000 Year 8 (2022): 20,000 x 1.045 Year 9 (2023): 20,000 x 1.045 x 1.045 By carrying on this sequence, you can either work each year out manually or using the geometric series formula from the reference sheet. In this case, this would be the easiest way to go. So a is...

    study plan

    Hey, so I'm not a current HSC student (I graduated last year), but I can definitely help you out, as someone myself who also struggled with creating a suitable and efficient study plan. So with your HSC exams about 2 months away (English first), until about the beginning of October or one week...

    Advice for Year 12?

    I didn't do Physics or Economics in Year 12, so I can only give you some advice on English and Maths. Maths - (I'm assuming you're doing 4U Maths cause your other 3 subjects add up to 6 units, assuming English is advanced, if not should apply anyway). 4U is definitely one of the hardest HSC...

    Memorising in English HSC

    Pretty much yes, it's definitely better to understand your texts and then memorize quotes, techniques, analysis (all of which will form your paragraphs when put together, along with topic sentences). People tend to memorize essays because if they have practice adapting it to any type of...

    ten days left (!?)

    Exactly what you said about internals separating students and giving them ranks ... however, because of how internal marks are moderated, internal marks which are relatively lower compared to very high external marks will be moderated against your grade (of course, your external mark remains...

    ten days left (!?)

    Oh wow yeah depending on what school you go to, some teachers can be really tough markers. Especially the school I went to (I won't say for privacy reasons), it seemed as if our teachers were reluctant to give 20s and 19s for some reason. But don't worry ... if your friend's results tell you...

    ten days left (!?)

    I agree with what the messages prior to mine have said. If you were to give the same essay to 2 different teachers, they may each value different components of an essay more (introduction, topic sentences, quotes, analysis, etc). If they also mark to a different standard, then you could get an...

    Memorising in English HSC

    I'm not 100% sure if they mark it with a computerised program or by hand, but either way, what your friend is planning to do is completely unethical and may potentially place him in danger of plagiarising. This definitely won't help him as your questions will be different to last years question...

    sorry again, really bad at this topic.

    Don't worry ... I checked B1andB2 answer and it ends up also being 3,600 but with a different style of approaching it. Either way, they both get the answer, so that's all that matters

    sorry again, really bad at this topic.

    Not sure if this is completely the right intuition (been a while since I did perms and comms): The first boy has a fixed position (so has 1 option; wherever you choose). The other boy has 2 places he cannot sit (either side of the first boy); so has 8 (total) - 2 (either side of 1st boy) - 1...

    Perms and coms question help plssss.

    I agree with what CM_Tutor mentioned above about this being one of the hardest topics in HSC maths. What I used to do was break down the question into smaller parts. Yes for this question, it might not be necessary, but for longer questions, especially where there's more involved, it will...

    You could consider using the lines "After some time, to abuse Othello's ear, That he is too familiar with his wife"

    HELPstuck on which degree to do

    Hey I'm currently doing Actuarial Studies with Commerce at UNSW and just wanted to offer you my insight on it. Obviously, it's your decision at the end of the day but you do go over a lot of study areas (like economics, maths, coding, commerce in my case, and then obviously dependent on what...
