    New paper layout becareful!!!

    yeh, i know a guy who is marking the maths papers, and he's staying at home and doing it while they scan the papers and send them to him... I dont think its that much of a drama. a bit unexpected if people didn't know about it, but all in all, i'm sure they will be lenient in terms of writing...

    On the day of HSC results, what is given to us?

    your ranks is used to calculate the mark you get for your external exam. e.g, if you are internally ranked 7th in english advanced, and you got 93 as your exam mark... then they add that to the exam mark that the 7th ranked external exam mark got from your cohort from your school, then they...

    Breakfast before exams

    avoid sugary foods cuz that will give you a GI spike and your energy will expend itself too quickly. i always have wholemeal toast with two poached eggs. eggs are good for protein. And then i make myself an amazing banana smoothie with yoghurt, soymilk and FROZEN bananas, cuz they make the...

    Am I screwed? UAI calc gives me 41.8?

    you gotta do something about that 25 in maths. you won't actually get that for your HSC mark though. if thats your raw mark, they'll scale it. try multiplying that number by 0.4 and adding 44. its (maybe) the formula our head teacher uses to scale our trial marks but i cant remember it exactly...

    Onstage Nominations yet?

    yeah, we got nominated for group and we dont find out if we were successful until after everyone has finished their written exams. so i presume that they wouldn't bother telling the written people because you don't need to send another copy (movies have to be sent in of the performances) and...

    stupid satillites

    Geostationary Orbits are at an altitude of 36000km, and have a period of roughly 24 hours of course. Low earth orbits are at an altitude of between 250 and 1000km, and their period varies between 90 minutes and 5 hours. i kinda just tried to work it out, and i think, if i've done it right...

    How can I get a 14 to a 15?

    Hey, Honestly, sometimes it is purely a matter of personal opinion. The person who marked your story may have given you a 14/15 because they didn't identify with it, but someone who did identify might give you full marks. Also, its a matter of comparison. You may have been unlucky...

    Quick question..

    It's true that your rank affects the mark you get. e.g. If you are ranked 3rd in Physics, and you go really well in your exam and get a mark that is the highest of all the people that do it, you won't get your own mark, the person who was ranked first gets the mark you achieved. And you...

    Desperatly Worried - Should I change schools now?

    I think you should breathe.. Calm down and look at this situation objectively without freaking out. Your in Year 11. You do subjects which don't scale as well as some that are offered, but if you go well in those subjects, as opposed to going bad in harder subjects, you will get a good...

    What do you think of this performance? (video link)

    I just waited like, an hour for my super slow zombie internet to load up the movie, and i'm glad i watched it. It's good in the fact that it has a deeper meaning, i know for a fact at my school that there are a few plays which are superficial and meaningless. It's also excellent in the fact...

    A.O.S thesis line for belonging

    that's really similar to mine. " The need to belong to a group or community shapes our behaviour, attitude and actions" change our to individual, and it means pretty much the same thing. yours is really good, and im sure it links with your texts better than mine would, im doing the crucible...
