    Questions from interested 08ers.

    Renovations at B&G have been postponed again, because the shipping container accommodation won't be ready by next year.

    Questions from interested 08ers.

    $10 is enough to feed 3 easily, so you are looking at closer to $30 a week for dinners. I spend at the very most $60/week on shopping.

    Questions from interested 08ers.

    B&G will be at 3/4 capacity next year due to renovations, so there probably won't be enough rooms for everyone applying.

    Weird Nuclear Question..

    If a negative beta particle is produced in the decay, then you need to make a proton to conserve charge. So it's C, as a neutron is converted to a proton.

    Australian National Chemistry Quiz

    Test was really hard this year. I heard 17/30 was the cutoff for a high distinction, and there was a question only 10% managed to get.

    a spaced question plz

    It's just Newton's law of universal gravitation: F = GmM/r^2 = 6.67 x 10^-11 x 150 x 5.974 x 10^24 / (6288000 + 272000)^2 = 1388.9N

    Lat. Cont. and Lat. Ext.: HSC 2007

    Sorry guys, I actually like commentary. I think it's easy marks if you know how to expand on a few key concepts. Much better than dodgy grammar multiple choice.

    Lat. Cont. and Lat. Ext.: HSC 2007

    How was the test? I usually try and start learning the set texts a few weeks before the assessment so I can just spend the night before quickly reading the latin to make sure I know it all and going over commentary. The points in the unseen lectures were pretty much what was on the handouts...

    Lat. Cont. and Lat. Ext.: HSC 2007

    Engineering Studies Comp. & Summer School

    I went on it last year and had a great time. Every morning there was a tour of a university and in the afternoon a site visit of a company related to a field in which you are interested. Night is pretty much free time. The houseparents are all in various stages of an engineering degree and will...

    Lat. Cont. and Lat. Ext.: HSC 2007

    I received my ACL result today, I received gold along with 2 others :) If it helps, 2 dropped from our class at the end of year 11. My next Latin exam is in a week, Livy up to chapter 9 and Virgil up to 634, grammar, commentary, unseen. We're only about 30 lines from the end of Virgil, then...
