    HSC Chemistry Resources to help get a band 6

    Yep, we got given Student's Guide to Chemistry at school in the beginning of the year, and it was lacking detail at times. I also used CC and Jacaranda Textbooks (with internet research on bits that weren't clear), Ahmed Shah's notes, along with tutor/state ranker notes. Doing HSC...

    Changing my subjects ?

    If you're mathematically inclined, maybe think about picking up X2 maths (especially as you're aiming for .95). And try to give physics a go in prelim at least, I have mad regrets for not trying it in yr 11 as it could have boosted my ATAR.

Also, around week 3 (I know this isn't holidays but oh well), try...

    'DISCOVERY' related texts

    I used "Yearbook", a short film by Bernardo Britto as a related text for Robert Gray's poems (Flames and Dangling Wire and Late Ferry). Off the top of my head, I remember I said they were similar by their ability to show that discoveries can transform our perceptions, but they were different...

    How many notebooks?

    I found that I used my laptop for english, chem and geo and just organised it all on there. I had a folder for worksheets and handouts. Maths I had 4 books, 1 theory and 1 homework for mx1 and mx2 each. If your school doesn't allow laptops maybe try just 1 notebook/module for your sciences.

    Carrotsticks' Solutions 2015 Extension 1 HSC

    Hi, for question 14a)ii), I first proved that the particle was moving downwards at time t = 2v/g.sqrt(3) (I know that it's part iii) but I proved it anyway :S). Then, I said alpha = arctan(-y dot/x dot), since the particle was moving downwards, and ended up with alpha = pi/3. Would I get...

    General thoughts: HSC chemistry 2015

    General thoughts: HSC chemistry 2015

    what was the answer to reliability in MC? i said to test different pond sites from same place because my teacher said simply repeating experiment will improve measurability of reliability but not actually improve reliability
