    What is everyone going to do the day they finish the HSC?

    If the day is sunny, I will go to a really grassy area filled with flowers and simply just lie down in it, facing the sky. Then, as I close my eyes I shall blare the song 'Daydreaming' by Lupe Fiasco on my phone or speakers or something.

    Faking quotes?

    For my half-yearlies I had related texts that were only really suited to a particular type of question. It was bad, I know, I should have had a wider range of RM. However I utterly faked all the lyrics, melodic-techniques and meaning for my song that I chose to suit the question and nothing was...

    15 units for HSC, am I crazy?

    You obviously know where your strengths lie, your science/maths subjects need more work but your literature subjects are great. It's all a matter of what you want to do in the future, 15 units is a lot of work, I was thinking 12 was too much as it is! Seems like you enjoy writing/creating more...

    How bad can 10 units impact my ATAR

    IPT is not a tough subject. Personally I would keep it, do well! compared to other subjects it's much easier to obtain a 90+ in IPT - it will help with your final ATAR score.

    2008 CSSA Question

    for this question (int. with respect to x): \int_{\frac{\sqrt[]{3}}{-2}}^{1}&space;2sec^{2}x the answer I get in degrees is 0.0651. However in the CSSA solutions booklet the answer is worked out in radians (5.466). Do I use degrees or radians for these integrations?

    Motivation

    I put up some motivational posters around my room. Also, try getting a countdown-timer app/gadget for your desktop until the HSC exams, or for a particular trial exam. Watching those seconds tick away one by one really makes you think you're wasting your time.

    CSSA Studies of Religion

    Re: SOR exams... there was a spelling error for the last multiple choice q for one of the options. it said 'skin groups' rather than 'kin groups'. I lmao'd so hard when the error was pointed out.

    CSSA IPT, rofl

    Overall it wasn't too bad. There were too many social/ethical issue questions though.

    CSSA Studies of Religion

    Re: SOR exams... i think you've got your structure mixed up. you seem to be describing bioethics rather than evaluating its impact on the adherents. i don't do bioethics, but i would select 3-4 main aspects or key elements of bioethics and write a paragraph on each. include biblical...

    English trials?

    I completely BS'ed it. I had no idea what the poem was about. I said that in the last stanza, the "tantalising and sensual imagery" of nature invokes a sense of belonging to place, i.e. nature... and a bunch of other techniques. AmIright?
