    Geometric/ Arithmetic Mean

    Yep! Sorry for the typo <> It is indeed meant to be BM. Oh. I kind of understand where you would find AM questions, but not so much GM ones. How would you recognise one?

    Geometric/ Arithmetic Mean

    Hey guys! Could someone explain what a GM and an AM is? And also figure this question out haha. $The point M divides the internal AB externally in the ratio 1:$ \alpha$ in such a way that AB is the geometric mean of AM and FM. Find the exact value(s) of $\alpha$, and draw a diagram to show...

    Cadetship 2015

    alksdjfdsa. Now that I think about it, do you reckon UBS lets you do a comm/law degree and work part-time? Also, do they tell you your %/ results straight away? tbh I was too jumpy and didn't read the e-mail properly LOL. still cannot properly focus on reading it cos a lot of emotion and shiz...

    Scaling?

    Wait, does that mean the system sees English Advanced/ Standard as the 'control'? (lol i'm so sorry i don't have a better word hahahaha- too much chem.) Considering the maths/ sciences scale significantly higher than the humanities- and that a higher scaling subject is usually seen to be more...

    I think what Librah's saying is to not rote the questions, but instead try to understand the concepts haha. Tertiary level mathematics is most certainly going to be much, much harder than HSC mathematics and will most likely encourage critical thinking skills as opposed to repetition and...

    wHAt7a r00d f4N : P Quick update for Teridax then. Submitted a last-minute ✪ Eng X2: Report that'll probably drop me to the bottom of the lowest pit of ATAR marks. Finished a 2u practice past paper; got 90% in it. Finished studying for the Contact process/ Frasch process. Boosted DoE by 20%...

    12 or 11 units?

    Actually, it's actually easier than most would think it is to completely bomb a subject. Depending on the cohort, sometimes it just takes one assessment... But on the other hand, you're probably most likely to bomb out on the subject you want to drop to get to 11u (or at least that's the theory).

    Hwello ! Lately I've been chilling far too much- and my workload is starting to build up and slowly suffocate me. I'm a lazy rock who won't do anything unless forced to- so I figured since this is public, I'll feel obliged not to fail publicly.-maybe setting everything out will help me...

    How are you feeling today?

    I don't understand how it can rain nearly non-stop for so long? But given the weather's sorry state, I kinda want to just walk in the rain for the hell of it haha. Feeling stressed yet apathetic at the same time. It's great being me.

    2015ers Chit-Chat Thread

    much effort // lazy practice essays are especially a pain in the ass cos almost everything in the course can be tested as an essay. Plus teacher has a penchant for testing us on 'short' extended responses (roughly 10-15 marks) which expands that aforementioned criteria even wider. Is topic 3...

    Would you drop English?

    I don't want to state the obvious Hawkie, but HSC markers cannot inherently 'hate your guts' if they don't know who you are. I can't speak for every school, but mine has a tendency to use student numbers for school assessments to enforce the idea of an 'unbiased' marker (certainly, said marker...

    Would you drop English?

    The math genius has arrived haha x) I can't understand the maths behind it, but I've always wondered what a test like that would yield. I'm guessing it'll be quite surprising to say the least- like how it was pretty weird to find that chemistry was marked 'holistically' as opposed to following a...
