    HSC PLUS WORKSHOP in burwood

    i went to the ext2 maths one and must say it was a waste of time. lack of mathematical rigour, a lot of "this is how we do it", and unnecessary jokes "there are no stupid questions... only stupid people" from a Hoang. i didn't think a lot of people would be back for the real fee-incurring lessons.

    Tutoring for 3U

    and you can generalise like so, because you've met every tutor for the hsc? I personally don't do it for the money (simply because I have enough to live very comfortably in any case), I do it to improve my communication skills, and to pass on the knowledge I've discerned so someone else can...

    Solutions for Fitzpatrick

    ^lol. Buchanan's links - check them out. I suppose it eventually comes down to trial papers. Although, of course there's the problem of not being able to do them very well. In that case, you can either persevere (with a bit of help from tutors or teachers), or you can go back to textbooks...

    Solutions for Fitzpatrick

    Textbooks don't reflect exam style questions. The only one that does that to any adequate degree is Phoenix, which is a "questions practice" textbook anyway. As a result, by doing a lot of textbook questions, you get the wrong idea about how to approach exams, and are unable to appreciate...

    Tutoring for 3U

    you are seriously disadvantaged though, having only done 3 unit, in terms of trying to get a state ranking. doing 4unit just means you get better at all the 3unit topics :) especially with the tricky projectile motions question last year.

    WHAT DOES CuSO4 · 5H2O MEAN?

    having a plus sign (+) could imply a reaction, rather than just simply being attached. so, it's a way of minimising the ambiguity.

    HSC Plus: Free HSC Workshops from Alpha-Omega Education

    i was just looking at their results. a bit unimpressive, yeah? 3 students over 99.50. and we don't even know how much tutoring the 3 people went for.

    English Tuition (Adv/Ext/Ext2) and group lectures!

    it seems surprising that you managed only 94 in adv, considering the 50 for ext1. was there a particular thing that caused it? i mean, it's still a great mark, but just not an acme, which 50 in ext1 is. did you state rank in ext1?

    Maths Question

    alternatively, you can use factor theorem on the root itself. if P(a) = 0, then a is a root. so find P(root5-1)
