Thanks Katsu! :)

Thank you! xx

Yeah but everyone has to do that for the course anyway. Besides it's a lot easier/less rote intensive to remember the solubility rules than remembering states for every singe equation.

Hmm, depends on the way the question is put. If you add the equation in a written response, depending on the marking criteria, you may get full marks awarded even with a wrong state. If the question just asks you to write an equation and you get a state wrong you will lose a mark though, which...

I used Conquering, Contexts and Jacaranda all briefly throughout the year and Jacaranda was my favourite by far. A lot of people say it has superfluous information in it, which I won't argue because seriously there is a lot of weird extraneous detail in that book, but I liked the bit of extra...

This is so sweet! Thank you so much :) xx

Lol I went to a rural comprehensive school.

Wow I seriously wouldn't even be mad. Best advice 2k15.

Aw thank you! :)

LOL

Sounds so much like me! I think especially with humanities they're so subjective that you can never really be certain how you'll perform externally.

1) I tried to be really consistent. The hardest thing to deal with with 14U is heavy assessment periods, so rather than trying to do four assessments in one week I'd try to pace myself. Keeping up with notes is also important, just do a dot point of two for each subject each night. 2) I was...

Hey everyone! So basically as I’ve looked around this forum I’ve noticed that the general answer given to anyone considering 12 or more units (especially 13/14) for the HSC is something along the lines of ‘try it out until you have a clear idea of what to drop’, ‘don’t’ do it, just focus really...

Re: Confessions I hope Djokovic wins because when he does he takes off his clothes.

They can't mark you wrong for writing any smaller alkene and alkane, but since ethylene is course relevant yeah, you'd be better off writing that. Remember that if you're cracking decane and one of the products is ethylene the other will have to be octane to make sure you end up with the same...

If you can draw Lewis Structures going into year 11 it will help, they're really good for helping you get a more practical sense of what's going on in a chemical reaction. Other than that, basically all of junior chemistry should be really quickly reviewed by your teacher at the start (there...

No, it's not always ethylene which forms. What you get from cracking a longer hydrocarbon chain is a smaller alkene (any smaller alkene, not necessarily ethylene - though propene and ethylene will be the two greatest constituents of the mixture) and alkane. That's why we distil the products of...

Re: Prelim+HSC Tutoring: 2 unit Maths (93) and Chemistry (91) Enigma would be an absolutely fantastic chemistry tutor. She really understands the content and is great at explaining it to other people. Her input on the 2014 chem marathon thread was hugely useful and I'm sure she'll be just as...

Thanks Enoil! :)

There was a similar question on the chemistry forum so this is basically a copy and paste of my answer there: First write out really comprehensive notes that are well aligned with the syllabus. This is mostly just to make sure everything is covered and there are no little gaps in your knowledge...
