    Performance driving q

    Riding the clutch is when you rest your foot on the clutch riding around. This pushes it in slightly whenever there is a bump, allowing it to slip and wear. What michael1990 described was clutch COASTING, which should be minimised as it is safer to be in gear and DFCO will save more fuel for you...

    changing lanes

    It's 5 signal errors for a fail, which can be either not indicating at any point that you need to, or not indicating for at least 5 seconds before leaving a kerb.

    Failed my Ps.

    No, they aren't. They are just fail items. "Immediate fail" as it is called (some call it "instant") is where you commit one of the fail items in a dangerous way, such that the rest of the test is not conducted and you must walk or be driven back to the RTA. Same occurs when you are in an...

    Failed my Ps.

    Oh okay, that makes more sense now. I wasn't sure if it was 90 marks or 90%.

    Failed my Ps.

    Hmm...yes (is the short answer). The test has 4 sections each out of 25 (25 zones) = 100. The only reason many tests are out of more than 100 is because the maximum test score becomes one point higher for every hazard. A test with 2 hazards is out of 102 for example. Correct me if I'm wrong, but...

    Hsc 2007 Results..not Happy?were You Treated Unfair? Read This And Sign My Petition!

    Re: Hsc 2007 Results..not Happy?were You Treated Unfair? Read This And Sign My Petiti That doesn't have anything to do with scaling. It just means that your school assessments were much easier than the HSC exam standard. Your mark of 96 was only used to determine your rank, which for...

    chem-mark

    The internal assessment mark is, for argument's sake, completely irrelevant once it has determined your rank. Whatever your internal rank was, you get the corresponding ranked HSC exam mark as your assessment mark. Eg, you came 6th with a mark of 74. You do your HSC, you get 69 and Bobby gets...

    RTA driving test

    Mine doesn't. It used to, but they removed it for that very reason.

    Manly RTA driving test

    They usually have 5-15 test routes per town/suburb, but as CieL said, it varies. They don't do the set course 100% turn for turn, so I doubt any two tests are the same. As long as you are comfortable driving in the general area, and can do the manoeuvres, you are right.

    Range of Speed Camera

    If you were going 61-64 in a 60 zone, you can probably avoid the fine with a letter and blame it on fluctuations, etc.

    RTA dumbs down the new Red P's test...

    That's not exactly fair. There are circumstances where reasonable drivers fail. Also you must consider that there are plenty of shit drivers who DO pass first go. I see where you are coming from in that the driving test is pretty easy, if you compare it to some of the European countries' ones...

    Permutations and Combinations are CRAZY HARD.

    Permutations and Combinations are CRAZY HARD.

    Re: 回复: Re: Permutations and Combinations are CRAZY HARD. Maybe: Let (2n+2)Cn = 99 and (2n-2)Cn = 7 Remembering nCr = n!/(n-r)!r!

    2007 Federal Election - Coalition or Labor/Howard or Rudd?

    If the worst thing they can find is footage of him scratching his ear and then biting his nail, I don't think we have too much to worry about. The video was a pathetic attack on Rudd.

    HSC textbooks help! which to choose

    Excel - Revise in a Month - HSC Mathematics. I cannot recommend it enough. Do 1 hour per day for a month before your trial and you can expect a reasonable result. Then for your HSC just do past papers.

    Creative ways to destroy the stimulus book

    2009 is the new syllabus. 2008 had the lovely change of no official stimulus booklet. It's now prescribed texts and ANY related. Sweet, now I only have to memorise and BS a select few things. :)

    2007 Federal Election - Coalition or Labor/Howard or Rudd?

    It's basically: "Oh you only want that information to help your side in the election". Which is pretty much why nothing productive gets done during the months up to the election.

    General Thoughts - Mathematics

    First of all, a pass is no N awards for a course. If you leave school and do a trade, a pass is generally 50% (70% in aircraft trades, etc). I don't know about 40/120 being state average, but that would mean 75% of the state have chosen the wrong maths course. 60-70/120 means you are good enough...
