    what direction is escape velocity defined in?

    According to Wikipedia: "Escape velocity is actually a speed (not a velocity) because it does not specify a direction: no matter what the direction of travel is, the object can escape the gravitational field (provided its path does not intersect the planet)." So I would imagine escape velocity...

    AWFUL UMAT? Is this the end of undergraduate medicine for me?

    Hmm don't think so. UNSW looks at the average of the three sections where 54 is the lowest acceptable score (however requiring a 99.95 ATAR). UWS gives special consideration for people from GWS, but even then the cut off score varies between 145-155. They take the sum of section 1, 2 and half of...

    Do you think BOS will specify a poem for AOS? (P.Skrzynecki's poems)

    Everyone gets the same question so it will generally be quite broad anyway. Despite this, I would still study all poems and relate them throughout the essay. You probably can get away with learning only a few because the question is usually based around the same basic ideas (e.g. belonging to...

    What chemistry and physics raw marks will get me a state rank?

    The mark will vary slightly from year to year depending on the difficulty of the exam. However, in terms of the 2012 HSC a raw mark of 89 in Chemistry and 90 in Physics would both scale to 96. In general, a state rank for these subjects would be somewhere between 96-98 so getting a raw mark...

    Best and mos efficient way to study Chem?

    Make sure you thoroughly understand each dot point. Solve as many mole calculation questions as you can because you will extensively use the concept in HSC Chemistry and it is important to establish the basics. Summarise sections of the syllabus which you have trouble in. I don't think it's...

    Going into Year 12...what to do these holidays?

    Don't do any intensive studying. Use the holidays as time to clear your mind before you actually start year 12. Start reading your English texts as you probably wont have as much time when you start school. If you really do want to start though, I suggest you just read the first couple of pages...

    Biology or Economics?

    I'm not too sure about economics but biology is basically all rote learning. There is a LOT of content to learn and hardly any situation where you would need to apply any sort of mathematics. Despite this, content in biology is generally easy to understand. Also economics scales higher. But...

    notes and study..opinions please :)

    Making your own notes would have generally been better as you would have revised content as you made them. But since we are so close now, I would say just get them online and start revising. Maybe you could make short summary notes of areas of the syllabus where you have the most trouble in...
