What I mean is are you supposed to know all those individually for acids? Or do you work those out by thinking "OK, a base has to have an X in it and an acid has to have Z in it so the other product must be Y" or are you just remembering that list?

? She isn't really. You don't use past papers to study, more just to get a better scope of the questions asked. And this is only SC after all... You can skip through a bit if you go directly to these links: English Maths Science History/Geography

^ We need to remember all those individually? Surely there must be some way which you can work it out. Hmm, I think I might learn what an alkali is first...

Thanks, it's always good to compare work.

What acevipa wants is an example of a RAP. We did one in class but I'm not sure of the quality of it.

Does anyone know where some good notes on Chemical equations are? I know they're only word equations, but seriously I haven't gotten a good grasp on it. The teacher I have is the worst at explaining it, and when we've asked him questions in past papers he's gotten them wrong. This is the...

Would probably be the fact that a lot of people leave. But yeah, I was thinking the same thing. These forums were going at a snail's pace when the HSC exams were happening though. Ah, damnit, I can't even access the papers now. Anyone got a direct link to the science papers so I don't have to...

hehe. You get marked up a lot more if you can give specifics about what the topic is, such as current statistics and data. If you know all of the topics on the mind map to the point at which you can talk about them for 1+ pages without shooting bull then you should be fine. I'm only going to...

Anyone else getting regular timeouts between pages and general slowness? I guess everyone is trying to do some last minute study :D

lol, talk about contradicting :P English tommorow. C'mon editorial and essay *crosses fingers*

The way I see science, I have the potential to get a band 6, so long as there's not too many year 9 based questions. We had a substitute teacher for 3/4 of the year who had never taught before... Thankfully previous years have posted up their notes to make up for the dodgy NSW public schooling :D

Hmm, well, you never really know. My teacher believes the long answer will be on this... H.R and Reconciliation is the last thing in the syllabus, so you might not have covered it well in the syllabus. Here's a few things from wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refugee...

The links and issues are really stuff that is based on what your class studied, we didn't all do the same things. However, if your class didn't do it I've seen in the notes section a few people with their geography stuff. Ecological sustainability (taken from the syllabus) - The ability to meet...

Excellent notes posted above, if you're struggling with history you should definitely go over them. If you want to put self-determination in context, the N.T intervention (a very good contemporary issue to mention) is NOT self-determination, instead it is something more closer to...

The thing I'm most looking forward to is watching some of the dropkicks that go to my public school get kicked out of the exam. I swear there'll be at least 5 people that it happens to. When we were doing our trials for maths in the hall the lower 5.1 classes all started tapping on the desks...

They might also mention self-determination, which has been more of an attitude of the Aborigines for the past 20 years or so (i.e, controlling their own destiny). edit: Ah, Kujah beat me to it.

Do you have notes on H.R? If so you'd be looking at writing about: Small introduction on Australia's past record, and the present. Try not to make this more than a paragraph long because this is not part of the specific question. 1951 UN convention on refugees and how Australia signed it but...

Pretty much all common sense and stuff that teachers have been telling us.

Hmm, probably not a long answer. They can't stray too far from the syllabus, so in the unlikely chance there was APEC question it would have to be heavily linked to a syllabus topic. Might throw it at you in the multiple choice though (probably something like "What does APEC stand for"). I'm...

No, but it certainly helps if you're that much more prepared for what the question is. Last years long answer was on population trends, so you can kind of rule that out for this years. Knowing a simple fact like this definitely gives you an advantage. My teacher says that the RAP almost...
