The ‘health work’ that pharmacists do can make a huge difference to the health and functioning of the general population. These include: Blood pressure checks Blood ‘screening‘ tests for glucose, cholesterol, INR (for patients on warfarin), HIV etc Immunisation Medical certificates for sick...

Screenshot of excerpt of NESA’s chemistry syllabus (https://educationstandards.nsw.edu.au/wps/wcm/connect/ff0f1e84-3e7c-45bd-9ed4-b1972546e166/chemistry-stage6-syllabus-pdf.pdf?MOD=AJPERES&CVID=): SPDF notation and Schrodinger model are both included in the syllabus.

Looking down the list, I think they are all relevant to HSC level chemistry. At our high school, the teachers didn’t teach the SPDF rules and notations and told my kids it wasn’t part of the syllabus so no one in the classes learnt it (including my kids even when I offered to explain to them)...

I stand corrected - by IUPAC definition, cis/trans stereoisomers or spatial isomers (molecules with the same molecular formula and sequence of bonded atoms, but differ in the three-dimensional orientations of their atoms in space) are not classified as structural isomers (compounds with...

I don’t know if it’s in the HSC syllabus or not. edited: They are structurally different spatially (see screenshot image from Wikimedia Commons), so may need to consider possible different properties.

Yes, 1-butene and 2-butene are both isomers of C4H8. edited: Additionally, cis-2-butene and trans-2-butene are also stereoisomers, as their 3D structure are spatially different, but as their double bond is between the same two carbons, C2 and C3, they are defined as the same structural isomer...

I think the trickiest part is if the Extn 2 class has already completed an assessment task (topic test or assignment) because in such a scenario, what would the teacher submit for your mark, which would go towards your internal HSC mark?? If no assessment task has yet been completed, you should...

The two statements in your question aren’t mutually exclusive. The change in colour is a progression, but it is also true that in the solution, red reflects a state when the indicator is ‘all’ in the form of H2Z and yellow is when it is all in the form of HZ-, whereas orange is when half of the...

F1 is the first filial generation = offspring/child of the parent F2 is the second filial generation = grandchild

A lot of early entry offers are based on Yr 11 performance. Did you do well in Yr 11?

If you are still the top student in the physics class, then it’s still worth continuing with physics and getting a tutor to close the gaps because if you are ranked first at the end of Yr 12 and do really well in the HSC exam, you will likely get your external mark as your internal mark as...

Beyond HSC, anyone interested in support with first year Uni maths (std or adv), physics and/or electronics, please message for details. Free one hour trial lesson - suggest bring HSC or first year Uni questions that you’ve had difficulty solving.

Wizzkids is correct. My son is a third year engineering student, with HDs in maths, physics, thermodynamics and other engineering subjects and his comment is similar to Wizzkids’.

OP said that s/he might have ranked last, not failed. It could be the case of ceiling bumping in a strong physics class where everyone has high marks which are close together. For the reason you allude, assignments don’t differentiate students as much as tests and exams, so if that’s the case...

Were the marks all close together? If so, don’t worry - just study well for tests and exams which tend to separate students more, so if you know your content, you can gain and make ground then. Do review where you lost marks & close any knowledge gaps.

Is your heart set on just the study and practice of law or as a high flyer? UOW has lower ATAR/SR entry requirements but its alumni probably wouldn’t have as many high flyers for networking opportunities. I know one UOW law graduate who is passionate about social justice and her UOW law degree...

Australia’s job market holds uncertainty for some engineering specialties. I knew of a couple of aeronautical engineer graduates of my vintage and I think one ended up in car design and the other in a senior management role in public transport services. My son chose R & D Engineering to...

I second everything MJRey has said, from what my son, who is in the same year of engineering at ANU, has fed back to me about ANU and it’s residential halls. WRT social life, I think ANU halls probably offer the most. My husband & I stayed at self catered and fully catered USyd colleges...

You can resit MEx2 if your school allows. My son also accelerated and considered resitting MEx2 for a shot at a state rank, but NESA’s rules are that it is the most recent mark that counts, so I advised him that he was already ceiling bumping therefore he could just as easily have gotten the...

If you have a 1 on 1 maths tutor, you could get Yr 9 & 10 textbooks and work through them yourself, with their help when you get stuck.
