English biases the HSC in favour of girls?! :lol: That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard! Since when does your gender influence what subjects u do? I have plenty of guys whose strength is English in my grade and heaps of girls whose strength is maths. I'm a girl and English is...

Hmm... so why is there a HSC Advanced english module that is specifically titled "Comparitive study of Text and Context"? pretty sure context is somewhere in there... Slightly off topic... I guess it depends on what electives u do, but I found preliminary extension english to be very useful...

Of course- that's why maths is optional. No one made you or anyone else do it. If you need it, do it, if you dont, then dont! Unlike English.

Oh... SORRY I succumbed to the supremely unforgiveable act of making a typo...:bomb: I realise that you dont have to do well to pass the SC, but my point was that by the time you get to Year 10, you should know how to write an essay. And spell. That should be basic knowledge by then, and if...

I believe the current english course is in many ways a waste of time for some people. Firstly, if you make it through the SC without knowing how to use the English language and spell properly, then obviously something went wrong. So dont tell me HSC english aids in any way to that respect...

19th Oct- English 1 22th Oct- English 2 24th Oct- Chemistry 29th Oct- Maths Ex 2 31st Oct- Maths Ex 1 2nd Nov- English Ext 1 5th Nov- Physics Not too bad... no exams on consecutive days... Though i would've liked longer to study for chem, 'specially since my hand may refuse to move after...

I find that memorising essays AND extra points is actually easier for me, i just select the specific points that will best fit the question and thus adapt the essay to the exam set question (which will be taken from somewhere in the syllabus; so a copy of that when memorising helps). It seems to...

Typed for study for exams etc; except practise essays which I handwrite (coz the more u practise writing, the faster u get at it). Typed study notes are for one reason and one reason only- you dont know HOW GOOD IT FEELS to RIP up all your study notes after exams!!!

NEVER in history have truer words been said. :haha: I think the BOS should read these posts, and listen to our pleas! :burn:

haha sooo ESSAY MEMORISING IS SOOO BORING!! its true! take a break every now and then! And fuel your energies with chocolate... Trust me, it'll be worth it in the end!

There are two guys in my school that did both. They both are heaps good at 4u maths and fell way behind in 4u english. I dont know about 4u english (only do 3unit lol) but 4u maths is so much work that you need to have the passion that these other guys are talking about. Otherwise you will just...

13 units is way too much! trust me you want lots of free periods lol... drop legal or bio i had 13 units for one term and that was enough for me

Wow... i'm reviving this thread if nobody minds..... Having trouble with a Simpson's Rule Question: "Use Simpson's rule with 3 function values to find the area enclosed by the curve y = e^2x, the y-axis and the line y=3" Does this mean b= 3 and a = 0? If so, how can this be possible...

Lets just say it wasnt *exactly* what you'd expect. Am i right?

the question is Revision set 4 23b) Amazingly, [(8!*8!) ÷ 16] gives the answer

We went to see it today as a school, and I was wondering who else went and their thoughts on the play? :bomb: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Maths... the only place where a punctuation mark can turn 0 into 1

Hey, dont worry so much about maths!! Yes, you definitely have to catch up and learn all the concepts, but the past is the past and you cant do anything to fix that. Remember that in the end, its the rank that counts so try to lift your marks up throughout the year. Study as much as you can for...

I mean come on. Its Prelim. It wont be worth anything and probably wont help you at all for the HSC. It will, however, take up a lot of your time arguing, when you could be doing other things. :)

lol they'd mark you on what they read I'd just stop complaining and cut it down- but if you want to argue your case, go ahead. You probably wont win..

Twenty pages?! You guys i look up too. I can probably only write 1300 words in 40 minutes (thats about 3 exam bkts)
