    Physics or Bio???

    Honestly the maths in physics isn't hard at all, literally none of the maths I have learnt has given me an advantage yet. I feel like biology would suit you better, and yes I feel your pain about the massive amounts of memorisation required in biology. However, I feel if you truly enjoy biology...

    Units Clarification!

    Honestly there is no reason to drop IPT now, it's too late for that to be of any use. The best option would be to focus more on your other subjects, but still try your best for the IPT exam. There is literally no reason to purposefully do bad, as D94 said. If you do crap, well ok, it shouldn't...

    How many past papers do you do per subject

    Like 5 for math x1 and x2, but I'll probably end up doing 10 each before trials I reckon.

    Prelim Physics Thread

    My teacher gave me a sheet today for which we have to graph displacement-position graphs of waves. I'm kinda confused, as displacement and position are the same thing, at least going off the motion topic. So is there any kind of difference in the definition of these terms for waves, or is it...

    Mathematics Extension 1 help

    Yeah I'd say it's better to keep it for now, prelim is kind of a trial year. If by the end of year 11 you feel like you need to drop, then it would be better to do it then, but as other people have mentioned once you drop you can't pick it back up.

    Is it just me or is everyone like this as well in year 11?

    Well for me it is a fair bit because I do 14 units, but I still have heaps of free time tbh. I agree with you.

    What does the dot mean in the middle of chemical compounds?

    So copper hydroxide and copper carbonate bonded together, but how would that work if they are neutral compounds?

    What does the dot mean in the middle of chemical compounds?

    Ok, that makes enough sense for now. Thanks for that!

    What does the dot mean in the middle of chemical compounds?

    But it's a mixture right? If it is a mixture how can we have exact ratios? Mixtures have a variable composition and so we can't have exact ratios. If it's a compound that problem would be fixed, but I don't think it's a compound for reasons I stated in the first post.

    What does the dot mean in the middle of chemical compounds?

    So my teacher set some homework but I've come across something we haven't yet learnt. We are given two compounds (I think) malachite, Cu(OH)2.CuCO3, and azurite, Cu(OH)2.2CuCO3, and we have to do stuff but that doesn't matter. My question is what exactly the dot means in the substances. I'm not...

    Y11 Holiday Work.. How important??

    I just barely socialise because I don't want to haha, I guess I'm at an advantage. Maybe social anxiety and introversion will be kind of helpful for the next two years.

    Does anyone else play the guitar?

    Yeah I've been playing for 9 years. I mostly play rock, though I'm starting to play some metalcore.

    Accelerated Maths

    Yeah, just work on time management. I've been doing fine in my other subjects, while keeping up my marks and ranks in maths. I haven't had to give up any extra-curricular activities either. If it is getting too much though, you can always drop it and redo it. If it comes to that, I'd probably...

    How do you write your Mathematics notes?

    I never write maths notes, just practice past papers really. If you understand everything notes are useless in math.

    Do you have to use the induction hypothesis when proving by induction?

    Title, I was just doing an induction proof (which could easily be done algebraically anyway) and while proving for n=k+1, I could prove it either by using the induction hypothesis or just algebra. I didn't know whether I had to use the induction hypothesis or not, so just asking here. Thanks in...

    Recommended number of units for Y11

    I'm doing 14 units, have a couple of hobbies which take up my time each week, and have a fair bit of free time per day, yet I'm coping amazingly right now. I think in year 11 you can do as many as you like.

    If I moved an object in a circle, would I have done any work?

    I know work is a scalar quantity, but this question came into my mind and I was not entirely sure. I'm guessing yes, because I applied a force over a distance, but I don't think I would have changed the kinetic energy of the object if I bring it to a stop at the end. Any answers would be...

    Coming out of the closet

    You mean homosexual right? Or is everyone at your school homosexual and your the only straight guy haha. Well I'll just say in case you are homosexual, I feel like most people nowadays are accepting of gays, so you should be good to come out, at least to your close friends.

    What would you rate my Senior Subject Workload for Year 11?

    Most people are around that 12/13 unit mark, so I reckon you'll be fine if you put in the effort. I also think Drama has quite a bit less work than the other subjects (at least at my school), and so could make your life much easier.
