    SC - does it really matter?

    It's important insofar that you need to pass it to go on to the HSC. Same deal with Year 11. Ends there. For the School Certificate, though, all this really entails is showing up on the day.

    i'm scared

    I just did the HSC at TAFE. Generally, you can expect much smaller classes than school with the average age of the students being much higher. The kind of people you meet there varies with year to year. I met a handful of people doing limited UAIs, like you - 23, 24 year olds. One of them got a...

    A.R.O. Notice

    So the Notice of Assessment Rank Order for 2007 was disclosed today. I did pathways and never did check my ranks from 2006. Does anybody know if they (2006 ranks) are retrievable?

    The First Kiss

    Mine was totally not worth the 60 bucks and risk of AIDS.

    Weimar Republic

    I imagine the papers would be printed in a production-line manner, making a misprint improbable. But it's possible, I suppose. My paper was certainly 23-39. A kick in the balls you don't forget.

    Molar heat of combustion vs. Molecular weight.

    Fuck offcourse, incomplete combustion. How the fuck did I miss that? "Experiment not conducted at SLC" - fuck, what the fuck man.

    Stress/ Relaxation tablets advertised???

    You could try complexes of Vitamin B before any hardcore meds, maybe that's what they were talking about? I hear it can help with stress. And offcourse, they say Omega 3 benefits cognitive function. Along with sleep, these things could help with memory. It's probably all just a load of clever...

    2005 HSC electrochem question

    Thanks for the speedy reply. Dammnit, though. The topic is hard enough without paid professionals failing to run any kind of quality control on their marking comments! One further question, though. How do the electrons get from the Mg to the nail? They don't just travel through the water...

This was left for several days. Describe what would happen in this experiment. Include relevant equations in...

    Amphoteric and Amphiprotic

    Hey, thought I'd join in the discussion (confusion). So, say they ask for an example of an amphiprotic substance using equations... Would the following be what they're after? HCO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup> + H<sub>2</sub>O --> CO<sub>3</sub><sup>2-</sup> + H<sub>3</sub>O...

    Do we need to mention states for Equations?

    I'll bring this thread back from the dead Just to make sure I get it... There is one question in the HSC that they specifically mark for states, right? Perhaps a simple equation for two marks. So in other questions that don't require it, I obviously would lose no marks for leaving the...

    Where for Bachelor of Science in Physics? Astronomy?

    Hi. I've got a bit of a last minute dilemma regarding my University preferences. I was hoping somebody not as thoroughly ignorant of the whole process could advise me. I appreciate any time anybody is willing to give. The dream is to one day become an astronomer. But that's just the dream...

    Abandoning Cambodia?

    So I've been thinking of just skipping the Cambodia part of the syllabus. Uh, we've only just started it in class and it seems there is no precedent for both questions being Cambodia-based. In fact it looks like half the time there is no Cambodia question. Now, it's not like I'm a slacker, I've...
