    Some Tips from People Who Got Their Scripts Back

    Sorry my statement was unclear, what I meant was if you wrote two contradictory statements, then surely you wouldn't gain marks for stating one of them? That's what I've seen from marking in the sciences at my school anyway - is the same done in the HSC?

    Some Tips from People Who Got Their Scripts Back

    They'd dock marks if you BS'd around something right and the BS contradicted it

    I doubt they would ever unblock the online storage stuff. Not much you can use as an argument. For a while they had blocked www.google.com, www.yahoo.com, www.bing.com...in fact every search engine except Google. That was epic fail. www.answers.com |Reference;Newsgroups/Forums | 21/05/2010 |...

    More polynomials...

    If I use (sqrt(|x|) - 1/sqrt(|x|) )^2 and compare that with [- A +- sqrt(A^2 - 4(B-2))] / 2, I get something like B =< 2A -2. But that doesn't seem right - then B =< -2, unless I've mixed up a sign somewhere. Also, if x not real, then I'm not sure how that comparison works. Taking |x| would be...

    More polynomials...

    I've done parts a, b, c but I have no idea about (d). Let x = \alpha be a root of the quartic polynomial P(x) = x^4 + Ax^3 + Bx^2 + Ax + 1 (a) Show that \alpha \neq 0 (b) Show that x = \alpha is also a root of Q(x) = x^2 + \frac{1}{x^2} + A(x + \frac{1}{x}) + B (c) With u = x +...

    Chemistry Query!!

    I think he means polyatomic ions. Adding the valencies of the elements seem to work for many of these, but not all (Especially not the ones containing oxygen). Not sure how to calculate for any polyatomic ion specifically :S (E.g. NH4 = -3 + 2x2 = 1 OH = -2 + 1 = -1 HCO3 = +1+4-2x3 = -1 CO3 =...

    Should I do Maths Ext 1?

    That's only 10 or 11 units (not sure how much SOR is) I think you should go for it, it will help you in 2U at least. Drop later on if it gets too much. EDIT: I can't read/count. If you're doing well in 2U, yes, it's worth it. Decent scaling - will help you achieve your ATAR aim.

    Hypothetical Scenario Regarding Yr7 to the HSC

    They'd have to be suitably intelligent to understand what they're actually memorising (dependent on the subjects of course) This isn't particularly difficult, but finding someone willing to do such a thing is a little harder...

    For Year 11 extension 1 math.

    Just do it anyway, you'll regret not taking it. You can always drop. It's not as hard as people make it out to be, especially if you want to do it..

    Best textbooks/guides for hsc chem?

    I prefer Jacaranda, though Conquering Chem is fairly good. Chem contexts doesn't cover enough, but it includes more relevant equations and diagrams.
