    how long does casio calculator battery last?

    I would recommend you, if possible, to obtain another calculator as backup. And it also saves the trouble of constantly converting from degrees to radians etc (label on calc "degrees" and the other "radians" xD). But you should generally see signs of it dying if it really is going out of battery...

    How do our internal student ranks affect our final hsc mark or atar?

    Internal student ranks affect your final hsc mark for the subject, which then affects your atar. From what I know: The student who is ranked first internally obtains the highest external HSC mark as their internal mark (all students marks are then determined by deviation of marks yada yada)...

    ATAR Estimate?

    Does Adrita ever sound like she's joking? P.S. well she does but only for really retarded people asking for like atar estimates without a school rank or those who just keep harassing her about an atar estimate after she's already given them one.

    70 Atar ??

    Atm it looks pretty grim due to both the scaling of the subjects and your current marks (esp in a school ranked in to 500s = cohort not particularly strong/consistent) ~67 Though 70+ is achievable if you ace your externals.

    Predictions for Chemistry 2014 HSC?

    Anyone ever tried using succinct dot points to answer 2-5 mark questions instead of writing paragraphs? And is it recommended to use dot points as well?

    What do I do?

    Just give your parent's advice a shot, I mean you are doing pretty well with all those units (esp with chem). Try dropping after your first assessment, if you see any decrease in any of your marks caused by the sheer workload.

    What do I do?

    What are your other subjects? Are you doing well in chemistry? Do you overall enjoy the subject?

    Do you play video games

    Did you really just judge a course by its atar -.- ? Wow..,OP you do realise that atar does not represent the prerequisite intelligence required for the course, but is dependent on the demand right....? And playing games does not really affect your studies, if you play in moderation. It allows a...

    I failed my 3U Mathematics, will i still be able to do it?

    If you're already in the course, generally no, UNLESS you obtain a vast amount of n-awards for that subjects in which they can (n award can only be achieved from actually not doing the assessment I think, but to be safe at least 50% for course average) But if you actually look like you're...

    Is 13 units manageable?

    Hey, just out of curiosity, what happens if you do well in like 8 of your 11 units, and then well in an extension (1 unit, so in total 9 units done well) like do they take half the marks for your other 2 unit subject (that you didnt do so well in) and the extension to obtain the total of 10...
