    Official 2005 CSSA Trial Exam Thread

    Yeah, I understand what you mean, but you could've done the question without even having to find the second derivative by using the first derivative test - that is, you could've just tested points on either side. Much less messy and time consuming for that particular question.

    Official 2005 CSSA Trial Exam Thread

    Performing the first derivative test would've taken you far less time to prove it.

    Does anyone have information about font choice?

    At the end of the day it's the words that matter, not the spaces between them...

    Does anyone have information about font choice?

    The dude that came 1st in the state last year used 1.5 spacing... The Board's "requirements" are general, sometimes trivial, guidelines. It's actually healthy to ignore them every now and then. At the end of the day some Nazi-like marker won't say "1.5 SPACING BE DAMNED! 2/50!", so yeah, I...

    We do our viva on the 17th, 2 days after my Extension English and Extension History exams...blame it on the shit school.

    CSSA 2005 Legal Studies Trial

    I don't remember the exact wording of the band question, but for the answer to have been contract law some sort of agreement between the two parties would've been required. For that reason, I said property law (as this includes intellectual property, such as a logo). Also, even if there was a...

    Major Work Research

    Fact of the matter is, every work in the '04 showcase got 49-50/50. That's what the markers want. You can be all quixotic and say you won't let your major work's integrity be compromised simply to appease the markers, but at the end of the day you're writing something for a HSC marker that could...

    2005 CSSA English Advanced Trial

    21-line booklets, at 9 words a line. I calculated this as about 4725 words.

    Catholic Trials f*ck up

    The thing is, this only affects INTERNAL rankings. If it affected external rankings (i.e. state-wide), then I'd see the point of every school sitting a different exam. If other schools do not resit the exams, it will NOT affect your UAI or marks. But believe me when I say no-one in our school...

    Catholic Trials f*ck up

    If that is the case, which I doubt, it would be most unfair. We knew NOTHING about any of the leaked papers; heck, I didn't even know this Cheltenwhatever school existed.

    Catholic Trials f*ck up

    I've said it before and I'll say it again...it will not be every school in the state that has to re-do the leaked papers. Our school, in the east, hasn't heard a thing about the breach, nor had any of our students prior to the English exam.

    CSSA 2005 Legal Studies Trial

    Yeah, just checked the textbook. According to the UDHR, education is an economic, social and cultural right :(. Still not sure about that logo question though.

    Wordsworth/ Malouf 'in the wild'

    Hmm, we'll see then. For Module A in the trials, I balanced the two a fair bit. My teacher is a senior marker, so that should give a fair indication.

    CSSA 2005 Legal Studies Trial

    Both family essays? That's psychotic - you'd pretty much have to write the same essay twice, swapping "morality and ethics" for "conflict and co-operation". Same cases. Same legislation. Same everything.
  16. c_james

    CSSA 2005 Legal Studies Trial

    I did A for both family and shelter...you can apply morality and ethics to pretty much every piece of legislation, media report and case study - free marks.

    Conflict in Indochina QUOTES

    On Diem: “A puppet who pulled his own strings” – American official in Saigon - On Tet: “The watershed of Tet, however, was not in South Vietnam but in the United States, where the American people …had lost their stomach for an inconclusive bloodletting without any measure of success.” –...

    CSSA 2005 Legal Studies Trial

    Yeah...not fond of the multiple choice...hopefully 11/15 there at least. I said education was a moral right, but I'm rethinking that and it might not be so correct. That question with the band and the logo I put as Property Law, because I thought a logo, which is really intangible, would...

    2005 CSSA English Advanced Trial

    Right, whatever. We could go endlessly back and forth with the "Yes, I did" and "No, you didn't" routine, but I really don't care all that much what some faceless person the net thinks, who I'll likely never meet. I know what I wrote, and that's all that really matters. I hardly think answering...

    CSSA Trials

    I don't think this will affect every school in the state. Our school, for example, hasn't heard a thing about the breach and is probably too lazy to organise another assessment anyway. By the way, I retract my earlier statement about the 45-page thing. IT IS POSSIBLE, if you get through...
