^Argh, I'm gonna bloody need it...

Amen. I'm sick of people complaining about people who do well in General Maths. Get over it.

haha you're greek? so am i

LOL.... Firstly, I'm European Secondly, just because some of us happen to be able to string coherent sentences together and ace maths doesn't mean we're 'nerds' Thirdly, I think you should get a life... immediately

Am I the only one who prefers the current format - writing essays? I'd much rather do that than analyse a little poem to death.

I loved studying Frontline, and my parents loved it too - I used to watch it with them. I think it's important to be able to analyse the media and the stories we're exposed to as individuals. We study at least one book as part of the English Advanced Syllabus and really, that's enough. For all...

^LOL. Moving to general was the best thing I ever did. I felt physically pained during 2unit maths lessons - I couldn't see the point in learning about numbers that didn't exist. General is so much more practical and when I can actually understand what it is I'm trying to find, it's actually fun...

I didn't think 2004 was harder, but I do think it was more time consuming. They had to construct a graph - the only thing we had to draw was a stem and leaf plot.

I've been okay in the HSC, but in my trial Ancient History paper this girl with a bright flower-patterned rug on her lap kept jiggling her leg. All I could see was a vibrating flower out of the corner of my eye! I had to get a teacher to tell her to stop moving her leg.

^Nope, question says: "Which line does not follow correctly from the previous line", so line B. The easiest way to answer that question was just to answer it yourself, then compare your working out to the sample given. That's what I did anyway.

^ Yeah, I'm aware that moderated assessment marks are aligned, and thus the average for that subject, but the actual exam mark isn't. That's the whole point of the new HSC.

Haha, I dropped to general at the end of year 11 having done a year of 2 unit, and that damn capture-recapture was the one thing I couldn't bloody do. So I made sure I knew it easily and simply for the exam!

^ How is it aligned when the criteria is set before students sit the test?

Yeah I did that too... I knew I'd get fucked over by a probability question though, it's the one topic I could never grasp 100%. Argh its so annoying, my brain told me to add them, but I multiplied! Oh well..

^LOL yeah speaking on behalf of the hot chicks, I can add that intelligence is far more attractive than a lack of.

Smartie87 is right. You keep your raw exam mark. It gets scaled when UAC are working out your UAI depending on how everyone else went.

I did it like this: He tagged 50, and when he recaptured 200, only 5 were tagged 5/200 = 50/x (x = total number of kangaroos) 50/5 = 10 10x 200 = 2000

The Kangaroo question: He tagged 50 kangaroos, and when he recaptured 200, he saw that 5 were tagged. Hence 5/50 kangaroos were captured that he originally tagged. So 5/200 = 50/x 50/5 = 10 200 x 10 = 2000 I hope that makes sense, it's difficult to explain.

I was getting around 40% in 2unit exams because I hated the subject, but when I dropped down to general I was hitting over 90% every time. So I definitely benefited by dropping. According to the answers in the other thread, I got 94-95% in the HSC exam.

It's just the dividend over the current market price... So .10/2.5. Blindingly simple if you know the formula. I'm lucky, I found it out literally five minutes before the exam.
