[HyperComplexxx]

zero study done today har har har....

no, why those 2 particular subjects???

 

[apollo1]

no, why those 2 particular subjects???

there the only two subjects in the hsc where you need brains and need to study a hefty amount. plz dont bother arguing with this.

 

[jamesfirst]

Because they require more study than English.


Anyway, I did 2unit paper but when I got up to q5. I was soooooooo tired and my back was cramping so I had to stop.


Then memorised some SOR essay.... in the afternoon, did like an hour on Chem and 30 min on phy.


dang it, I most worried about 3 unit and SOR, and the worst thing is that it's on the same day -_-;;

ok. what's your point?

Agreed. Not as worried about 3 unit as you, but having SOR in the afternoon is a bit annoying.

 

[krnofdrg]

Did 2x2unit pastpapers 1-7.

Some ancient notes.

Deleting and cleaning up english, business notes

I did an hour of maths tutoring and 50 religion multiple choice questions... bludgiest day ever haha!

That's a lot of freakin effort to do 50 of those annoying SoR questions. Dislike, so much hate.

Not very productive today...

Chemistry.

Ancient history has F*ckloads of stuff to remember.

But it doesn't combine that with smarts.

Yes it does. To get a band six in ancient history, you not only need to memorise a lot of notes, but they also need to write with logic.

I don't think 'smart' will get anyone a band six. It is motivation and their eagar to strive that gets them there.

You'd be surprised as to how much you can learn by doing those MC. Managed to do 85, but the system won't let me do the 4 MC which are left :s

Chemistry.

oh yeah chem as well.

Memorise, and know how to write. This isn't out of reach of the average intelligent person, whereas a lot of the stuff in MX1+2 is and Physics and Chem have odd questions in there sometimes, and Mathematics Q9+10 can even do this. Tbqh, I know someone that will get a band 6 in Modern that I beat in every common subject we do. (SoR2, English, etc.) So no, you don't have to be smart.
And your second statement lends itself to saying that you said modern history for no reason at all...

 

[Some Vunt]

For at least Physics, you just need to remember information. The current course is dumbed down and is almost all about rote learning. Your point about beating someone in common subjects is an isolated situation and isn't a good example. Whilst knowledge is essential, aptitude is key. Having the aptitude over smarts is needed to do well in any subject. The skill set in Modern and the skill set in Maths are very different and can't be fairly compared in a way so there is no bias towards already bad misconceptions. Anyway, I can advocate and vouch for either side.

Physics, I honestly have no idea, but I know that Chemistry definitely has a few questions thrown in every year that like <1% will get. So, it doesn't matter whether the course is dumbed down, they can always throw something in that will surprise you in the sciences.
Every common subject I have with someone that is coming top 5 in any HSIE subject, I am beating them. Apart from one beating me in SoR2 (a HSIE subject).
Also, through the scaling system it can be seen that Modern scales worse than these subjects because the students in Chem, MX2, Physics, etc. do well overall compared to the cohort of students doing Modern, and this is usually the case because they are smarter.

I tried studying maths but every time I opened the book I'd just stare at it blankly for 30min or so before falling asleep. Eventually I gave up and watched some movies
