Just wondering. We're all newbies towards the HSC and most of us have just started getting our subject selection forms. When I first received my subject selection form and news about HSC crap, I thought about the uai I wanted to aim for. I know there is a thread on year 11 and Year 12 people...

I had to do a similar task for History once. I meant to interview my parents but I had an argument with them, so I made everything up. I still managed to get full marks. I dont have parents or grandparents with me at the moment, but I suggest that you could ask your teachers. or make it all up...

In most schools, they have the average mark for each subject in the HSC listed in the annual report. It is given in a table. To put it in SAM : Look at your current marks and the average for the assessment you did. So say if you are doing English Advanced and your mark was 70% and the...

I agree. SHAME ON THOSE SCHOOLS RANKED LOWER THAN non selective schools. Yanco is a fully selective school, plus to get in Yanco the selective marks are even higher than say Macquarie Fields which is ranked in the 100s. Gosh . Its almost at the bottom of the state with students with ability to...

thats mad. I heard everything was multiple choice :D no essays in religion right?

In my school, they dont give us any lines. They just shove a list of subjects, we choose twelve units of subjects, and then they sort the line stuff themselves. They notify us later on if we cant get the subject we want.

Your awards are good, but most selective schools look for Distinction or higher awards for competitions (even though some people from their school get participations) As for your report, as long as English was an A or B you have a chance. if Maths and Science are A's, you also have a chance...

wow. why dont you enter? you got so good! can you get the last questions correct?

lol First few questions seem to be easy as we have usually learnt about that stuff before, but OMG what on earth is with the last questions! my mum reckons there is some formula to solving the last questions. And for the questions where you have to look at numbers say from 0 to 2000 or...

hey people, I know this thread is kinda old but yeah, the maths comp is like on the 2nd week of term 3 which is almost coming. I just want to ask, how do you solve the last problems? has anyoe ever got them right before?

Yeh its really hard. You need a strong Mathematics Background. Unless you are doing 2 unit Mathematics and are ranked top half of the Maths course in Year 10, Physics will be very hard for you. You need to also be in the top half of the year 10 science. Seriously, some people who get 60% in year...

I suck at Chemistry as well but it is neccessary for my future career :D I'm heading for Medicine. You should just try Chemistry and if you dont like it or perform badly at it, then you could drop it in Year 12. Apparatenyl its quite a hard subject. Head teacher said that some people that get...

I think they are great choices. But why are you worried about Chemistry?

yeh. same. I have the holidays to decide what to do, and its due on the second day of term 3. It aint good because we have to get the signature from every head teacher of a course we are going to apply for. Which means I have about two days to collect these signatures. hey say if you got an A...

lol I think I'm taking Year 10 for granted. And I keep complaining about how much work Year 10 has! i agree with the point the OP made about not thinking too hard with english multiple choice. next time, I'll fuck those multiple choice questions by just guessing them all! - Choose B or C...

wow. thats like my school. English Advanced: A or B Maths Ext 1 : A or high B Chem and Physics: A or B PLUS A or B in Maths Engineering: A or B in maths

sin60/tan30 = √3/2 x 1/√3 = 1/2 ARRRGGHHH!!! it was division!!! -------------------------------------------------------- form equation with roots: 3 and -4 x^2 + x - 12 forgot the = 0. No marks ----------------------------------------- factorise 28 + 3x - x^2 = (x-7) (x+4) supposed to...

Ask the teacher what he/she thinks. I mean if you think ext 1 is easy, you should probably do ext 2. Maybe your marks dont correlate because you havent been given a tough challenge to motivate you

lol heaps of people on this website earned 95 + uais with General Maths, though they had other high scaling subjects like English ext 2 with them. Actually, I think that most people who get 90+ uai do General Maths. simply because theres less stress I suppose

I dont see how new selective schools being added could give more competition. The people dont change at all. and the new schools they go to might be shit anyway... lol thats pretty devastating to hear some selective schools are ranked less than 200. Might I say: I am shocked. Shame on those...
