    Technique?

    Hey guys! What's the technique called when you find two similar looking words (side by side in fact) but have entirely different meanings? i.e "becoming that of the ruling and the ruled, as opposed to the elected and electorate" Is it an antanaclasis? And could you guys also give a brief...

    What's australia fiscal stance currently?

    A contractionary stance usually, but not always, occurs with a reduction in spending. It is rare, but possible to see contractionary policies occur simultaneously with an increase in government spending (will probably operate alongside higher taxes etc.). Technically, fiscal consolidation yields...

    And don't get me started on the number of pages people write... I feel a 7 mark in Option is much harder to score full marks in than Core just because of the sheer volume of information needed. The feels when you want more lines for core but also want a restriction for option aslkdfja And yeah...

    Absolute values

    This is really embarrassing, but I've completely forgotten how to solve absolute value questions. (yes, trials are soon. no, I don't know how to tell my brain to stop forgetting stuff) $Find the simultaneous solution of $|3-2x| < 5$ and $ |x-1| \geq 1 Thanks in advance! :) :) :)

    How do this differentiation question?

    It's a bit different to the usual because it's not possible to differentiate an exponential. Hence you will need to turn into a different form; 2^x = e^{ln(2^x)}. This form works because e and ln are inverse functions. When you have established this, you simply differentiate e as normal...

    Scholarships

    Yo guys, sorry for being a noobie. When I was checking out the UNSW scholarships, I noticed that they all needed you to register to be able to apply. Which is fine, except that registration requires a UAC application number. What is a UAC application number and when do we get them? According...

    Stats, stats, stats...

    External stability, is in essence (statistic wise), the BoP. You can also use ToT. There's also a few randomos flying around, but if you're stuck just look into those two trends + the stats they provide and analyse why they are the way they are and what occurred to make them that way.

    Staying motivated for HSC?

    Such inspiration haha Find something that motivates you in the short-term (i.e if I get >90% I'll treat myself!), medium term and long term (career goals). Essentially, find different 'levels' of motivation that you can fall back on if you ever fall into your pre-mid-life crisis...

    Maths or Science compulsory for Year 11/12 Students

    I go to a top 5 selective school though. So technically we should be doing something right. But for some reason Year 7-10 was not one of them. Math can definitely be compressed. (Keep in mind I was taught the 5.3 syllabus, I have no idea what the others might entail) I mean, to put it into...

    Maths or Science compulsory for Year 11/12 Students

    But did you actually learn anything in 7-10? cos I didn't. I honestly think the junior four years were the biggest waste of time. A year 7 could easily jump to Year 10 or even year 11 after a term of studying. I mean, I entered prelim Chem knowing nothing but what an atom, molecule and a...
