Under what circumstances will there be a discrepancy between your assessment mark and your exam mark if you're rank 1? E.g. Exam > Asst? Asst > Exam is where you fail the external and you get someone else's external mark? Thanks

Hey guys, I'm trying to finish the 3u course this holidays so I can concentrate on other stuff during the term. I'm using Cambridge 3U Yr12 textbook and some other miscellaneous online resources to do motion. I was going ok until I ran into a wall... How do I prove v^2 = n^2(a^2-x^2)? There...

Hi guys, Long time no post... Anyway had a question: In cambridge there are examples of graphing of sin^-1(cosx) and cos^-1(cosx) etc... I looked in the syllabus and those types of examples are not present - nor have I seen any such question in the HSC. Do we need to know these? Half yearly...

This has confused me somewhat. We do 'English' because we study texts in 'English' yes? I do Japanese Extension and we have 2 teachers - 1 for the Japanese part and another for Spirited Away, the prescribed text. Anyway the one that does the prescribed text is also my English teacher and we...

I have asked this before but just confirming... The state ranks are based on both the assessment and exam mark? Or just exam...because I know someone from my school who didn't come first (internal) but came 3rd (state) overall...strange.

We had a question in our assessment on Thursday: 0 <= |arg(z-1+root3)| <= pi/3 I didn't see the modulus signs and proceeded with the argument. I have not seen these types before but one of the teachers said their class had done it...wtf

Someone at my school (ex 2011) is selling it for 15 bucks. Worth it? I haven't had a look inside. Thanks :rolleyes2:

We have all seen rcis\theta...and I have also seen it in the Boardofstudies answers. My teacher said its not in the syallbus so we should stick to r(cos\theta+isin\theta)...but it's obviously a tedious bore to write it all the time. We are allowed to use rcis\theta in HSC, yes? I don't...

This is probably in the wrong section...anyway I got my little red laptop reimaged a while back and this thing keeps happening!! THE FONT IS CRAPPED UP! I went to the TSO and he was like: oh yeah the font isn't embeded so it stuff up... I've had all types of PDFS on all computers...

I finished 7th grade piano last year. I haven't started any 8th grade pieces and I haven't really been going anywhere... With the start of yr12, I don't know whether to temporarily stop piano and concentrate on my studies...or continue with the stagnant progress. I am definitely not pursuing...

Before this time I needed only to study for more skills-based subjects. E.g. Maths, English (Yeah, essays but they're still skills based), Japanese.. I didn't study for Eco/Phys, but, now I need to start studying for Physics...which is content heavy. The thing is - I realised I don't...

If the question is about a PERSON or KOALA, or some RABBITS or some CAMELS, and the approximation comes out to be... 3456.789 Is it ok to just say 3456 whole people/koalas/rabbits/camels? I mean, this is pedantic...but...should I just round and say: 3457 (nearest whole person)? Thanks

For the current yr12 they are apparently all getting ATAR estimates from the school...just to see how they're all going. Are these just similar to the matrix/atar calculator ones? lols Or is there some other way?

Today I had my interview for yr12 subjects. They let me drop Economics and Heritage! (Yay! - previously they said you couldn't because you needed backups if you were to take any X2 or yr12X) Anyway - I'm left with physics - no way out. The department is crappy and I've made summaries and...

Should teachers who teach their subjects get full marks in the external HSCs? Just wondering

Hi guys, There was a site posted here a while ago (it was a school site) where if you put teacher teacher as the user and pass you could access the papers... I can't seem to find it. Any one know it? Thanks

I've been doing well in the half yearly and trial (114, 117 (actually 119 but one of the teachers is a nazi marker...but it didn't affect my rank)) and the head teacher (whom I have for prelim ext1) told me I should be aiming for 120 in 2u. I know this is very possible, from the practice of past...

Hi guys, After the trial, the finals ranks were that there were 3 people tied on 1st. I am one of them. Does the 'top external mark go to the top ranked internal person' thing still apply? Also, if I get the top external mark, will I have to share my lovely external mark with the two others...

Hi guys, My friend wanted to know, at Sydney, whether it was possible to combine Commerce (liberal studies) with Arts Languages. The two are quite specific and she was wondering whether it was possible. Also, if that didn't work, what about Arts Languages / International studies? Thanks

With regard to physics, I was contemplating doing tutoring for Yr12. I have not done tutoring since Yr6 for selective...which didn't really work anyway. My physics motivation levels haven't been so high, but now I have decided to drop Eco, I know I will have more motivation for it for the...
