    Fetch-Execute cycle

    Hey all, Is this right?? The fetch-execute cycle involves the performance of an instruction by the CPU, taking it from memory and splitting it into it's opcode and operand to calculate a result and change memory. 1) Program counter (which stores the current location of the instruction being...

    Does NESA print HSC in colour? and more

    I'm curious, also the only possible subject that I would ever see colour in is probably Bio, if anything..... do subjects like Geo do it??? for all their ✨fancy maps✨ how much does NESA waste on printing at officeworks per year!? 😱 😨 these are crucial questions

    Multidimensional array vs array of records

    What's the difference and how would I explain what each one does?? Also what is an example of each? I would say that a grid or table can be represented by a 2D array, but I'm not sure what array of records do. Thanks!

    Gene Flow vs Genetic Drift --clarification

    Please let me know if I am correct here! BOTH related to the gene pool GENE FLOW = natural movement of genes through a population GENETIC DRIFT = random changes to the gene pool due to natural events --e.g., a storm wiping out half the population and altering the ratio of dominant:recessive...

    How does PCR work?

    I understand that it replicates DNA/a gene through a cyclic process (Denaturing, Annealing, Something??? --somewhere here DNA is heated and cooled?) but I don't quite know what each stage does / how it actually works. I also know that it needs lots of free nucleotides to work Also, how would I...

    Running list of key examples for Bio Trials/HSC

    Hi all, I am making this thread as a mind dump of key examples for Bio trials based on questions seen in papers. Feel free to give some feedback and add examples! Thanks! THIS IS NOT A CLOSED THREAD - IF ANYONE HAS ANY OTHER USEFUL EXAMPLES PLEASE ADD AND ALSO PROVIDE FEEDBACK AND SUGGESTIONS...

    Can someone please explain SNPs and STRs?

    I understand that it has something to do with identifying individuals in a population and DNA profiling? Also that somewhere there is a <1% involved??? If someone could please clarify this whole concept that would be great Thanks!

    Where would getting all-rounder (i.e., all b6s) place your ATAR?

    I was looking at past history and was wondering... if you get all rounder, what range of marks does your ATAR 'automatically' sit in? 95+? 96+? 99+??? Thanks <3

    What does this actually look like in 3D space? I can't visualise this :/

    Hello. Hope you are having a nice evening if you see this <3 How am I meant to visualise this (part ii)? I couldn't imagine it and then ended up giving up - not realising that you just dot product AB with r1 and then AB with r2... and then solve normally with two unknowns :/ oh well part ii...

    Summary of Fetch-Execute / CPU

    Hi all, Does anyone have a good comprehensive summary of the CPU / Fetch-Execute cycle? I always get confused between all the different registers, ALU, accumulator, PC, IR, buses, etc... Thanks

    Summary of Approaches

    Do people agree with this summary?? I can't really tell the difference between prototyping and agile ngl... Approaches Structured - Staged approach with lots of members split up into teams, managed by a manager - Large scale projects - Long timeframe - Large budget End User - The developer is...

    How does moles/conc change during titration between aliquots etc?

    If I have a 10mL sample diluted up to 250mL using distilled water, and then take a 20mL aliquot of that - what is the best way to work out final concentration given the moles in that aliquot??? I always get confused and end up with a miscalculation... This is my understanding: 10mL sample -->...

    Question re equilibria and amphiprotics

    Hello, When showing if a substance is amphiprotic, do I use equilibrium arrows or single direction arrows??? I.e., is it: OPTION A or OPTION B (from the trial paper solutions) Thank you!!

    How does Ka/pKa and Kb/pKb relate to acid/base strength??

    Question in title I've always just assumed that the lower pKa is the stronger the acid, and the higher pKb is the stronger the base - similar to pH. But I think there's a better way to explain this in a exam - could yall please help?? Thanksss

    Summary of arrows for reactions - when is it equilibrium?

    Hello all, Question is in title, the main ones I get confused with is stuff like net ionic... e.g., if I am working out the net ionic equation of Pb(NO3)2 + NaOH - which forms Pb(OH)2 as a precipitate - should my net ionic be an equilibrium - Pb2+ + 2OH- <--> Pb(OH)2?? Because normally I'd...

    Titration set up

    Hi all, Could someone please clarify what is rinsed with what in a titration? and possibly what the effects are of doing it wrong (e.g., experimental concentration is slightly higher/lower if we use water instead of the titrant - idk)? Suppose it's a titration of NaOH against CH3COOH, using...

    Acid/Base theory clarification

    Hello, Just confirming that we only need to properly know Arrhenius and Bronsted-Lowry theories for trials/hsc?? And that their theories are: Arr: acids dissociate to produce H+, bases dissociate to produce OH- BL: acids are proton donors, bases are protons acceptors Could someone confirm if...
