yana, i got 50% for my first physics assessment, and I had 'slip-ups' in a number of my internal assessments. The real trick is to do really well in the half-yearlies and Trials (and of course the HSC exams), because they generally count the most. So dont worry if u stuff up a few assessments...

You may probably also want to add a 'risk assessment' section where u basically discuss the risks involved, ways to prevent them, and what to do if the risk does occur. You could probably include it after ur discussion.

I did Genetics- 'The Code Broken?', hehe sounds snazzy :p Anyways, i found it heaps helpful in regards to answering Qs from the Core in the 'Blueprint of Life' topic. Especially in this year's paper, where like 60% of the core was just on genetics, i jus used basically all my knowledge from the...

And if u basically get the first 4 Qs out, error free (harder than it sounds), u should have around the average mark in 4U, and u dont have to even attempt the next 4 (altho it is recommended u do so :))

I dont know abt u guys, but i always found studying a new topic in maths by myself was nearly impossible. I reckon, maths is one of those few subjects for me, in which if i dont have a teacher or tutor, im totally screwed :).

Im not quite sure if i get u there, Lobster...? Using projectiles, u derive all the normal eqns, and then do a number of simultaneous eqns, and substitutions, and then finally arrive at the answer (i cant remember exactly how many because i did it like 6months ago :)). But my soln is quite...

I reckon the two best tbooks are 'Physics Contexts 2' and Jacaranda. Although i must caution u, Contexts has quite a few mistakes, and so if something doesn't look right, ask ur teacher or confirm with Jacaranda. IMO, summary books/'revision in a month books' arent useful because they may only...

The bird question is actually quite easy if u think about it logically (i.e if u really understand parabolas and their properties) But doing it the projectile way, it is damn long and tedious...but nevertheless, fun!!! :D

All i did was just go through my two tbooks (Jac and Contexts) and my school workbook, and just tick of the dotpoints as i read all three.

Yeah i think mid 90s is an excellent mark (maybe top 5% in the state)

hehe yeah thats the one. Took me like 3 hours and finally ended up with 3 full pages of working... and then my maths tutor did it in 5 minutes with 3 lines of working. :( :D

Mazza, i would suggest u start revising soon...because once school starts, its going to be pretty hard to revise previous work (well, actually it's really going to depend on ur workload). But i think before getting into MG (the topic i found the most tedious), it's better to be on top of ur...

End Point: Where the indicator changes colour Equivalence Point: Point where the reactants are in their mole ratios (I think) Someone correct me if im worng...havent done chem in two months :? edit: You always try to get the end point as close as possible to the equivilance point, and so...

Yes, that's exactly what i thought...but i wouldn't solely go by this. Practicing a number of 3U papers is essential and also do a lot of problems from the 3U Fitzpatrick book (ahhhh damn the bird Q!). :)

I would say around 98.5...

My piece of advice is don't underestimate 3U!!! Sure, it's easier than 4U, but Q6 and Q7 of 3U, is equivilant to around Q5-Q6 of 4U...and trust me, they aren't that easy! That was my biggest mistake, my greatest incorrect assumption about the 3U paper and i did pay for it. I would say, in terms...

i would say around 150

Plan and organise your time and subjects. I always found outlining what i had to do in that day really helpful. I also outlined what i had to study for each subject and then put all this on a time-line. It's pretty helpful, but it still dint prevent me from cramming. :)

hehe nice call, freaking_out :D

hehe no problem Fashionista. u can post up ur questions in the respective threads or u can pm me. Im happy to help!!! :)
