Oh yes, the dream scenario...'nuff said...

Yes, Pender and Cambridge all the way...as for probability, try to get as many q's under your belt. Start with the foundations and work your way up. You should be able to do those - otherwise you're not really fit for 3u, I'm sorry to say... Sorry if I'm being a bit harsh, but well, they...

Come up with a couple of scenarios and probably write them out completely, taking time. Then memorise the key phrases, brilliant descriptions etc. War is always good...adaptable for a variety of text types.

It's basically more of the same type of stuff u do in the preliminary course...the topics become more focussed on you personally however. It's not technically hard. Languages are simply courses in which you need to keep on collecting phrases, grammar, and not forget them. From that point of...

hmm, i didn't do it the fancy way, so i'll have to dig up the solutions...my own solution was abt 4 pages long, hence ungainly. Once i've found it i'll try to post it up. As for target UAI, probably not, but it's worth a try :rolleyes:

Yeh, Mojako, that's basically what i did in the exam for that q..."intelligent" use of question :p It worked out, and i got all the marks, so using the q without assuming it will work, but there are much better ways for this q than plainly bashing it out.

Technically it's the one with lower heat of comb, since heat of combustions have a negative value

hehe, resurrecting a thread nearly a year old here :cool:

Not to spam or anything, but what questions specifically spoilt brat?

We don't post our trials on the web y'no.... @Rorix: Is this level of grammer good enough? :D

lol @ Crash...Mojako beat you there mate :D

Oxidation in organic chem is slightly different to oxidation in inorganic....in organic chem, oxidation may be considered as the gain of oxygen by a compound / loss of hydrogen, while reduction is gain of hydrogen/loss of oxygen. Hence in this example the ethanol is oxidised to form acetic...

For ii), you can also sub z=kcisx into LHS of what uve gotta prove...then it's just use of cos(2theta) formulae

The way to predict the subshells occupied is rather dodgy, but there will certainly be a jump moving from removing, for example, a p-orbital electron to an s electron - the s electrons tend to penetrate closer to the nucleus than the p, d etc electrons, and so in moving from one orbital to the...

Good job Lexi...I didn't do so well: Scores: 57, 56, 56 Ranks: 80, 76, 79 Steady, I guess.

Hmm true..there's nothing to HSC organic chem...nonetheless, i'd be happy to help on any matters organic, psych

yep, very cheap plaques...rather crap compared to the amc medals...one good thing with award of excellence is that it gives you entry into chem national qualifying exam

got award of excellence in 2003...didn't do it this year as I was away overseas. Congratulations to those that did well!

What sort of help in organic do you need?

There's less memorisation for this option than most of the others though...and you also feel like you're doing "real" chemistry, which is always a reassuring feeling...
