the solutions just say "use v^2 = u^2 + 2as" and then give the value of 7.1m. However isnt the answer supposed to be closer to 8.1 after accounting for the the initial height (it wasn't thrown from the ground)

what the actual fuck why did i do 12 units. do you know how much easier my life would be if i didn't have eco next friday? then all i would have to study for would be chem and physics. ffs what an idiot i'm pretty sure I just ruined my atar.

If we're assuming light is a stream of photons, then what exactly is frequency? It can't be the number of photons leaving a source per second, that would be the intensity would it not?

Hey guys. I can understand that for 'Show' or 'Prove' q's you'd have to provide full working out. However I've heard that if the final answer required is a specific value, you attain full marks for just stating that value. For example, in all those partial fractions decomposition questions, I...

How do all of you go for time? I was pretty good in the trial but that was only cos MC was a piss-take. Now when I'm doing past HSC papers I feel like I'm really rushing toward the end and I feel like shite when I have to leave out a 4 or 5 marker. What should I aim for? Is this reasonable...

I know there's some specific stuff you have to say. I think it's like: List safety issues and precautions taken, talk about what apparatus is needed, always specify the exact quantities of stuff you're using (e.g. don't just say we used cyclohexene - gotta say 6ml of cyclohexene). And then...

If someone were to hypothetically get 105/105 in English but they were ranked second internally and the next highest mark was 90, then their final mark would obviously be 95. However will they still be recognized as being first in the state cos they were first externally?

It has a timer function I want to use. Its otherwise pretty plain and doesnt beep or anything

Title says it all. Can I essentially copy-paste my analysis from one of the three markers into the 5 marker as analysis that compares the two texts?

I'll be honest, I've read a lot of past creative writing pieces that claim to have received 14-15/15 and the majority of them just seem to be crushing under the weight of their own convolution and verbose imagery, similes and metaphors. Do the markers really value language techniques that...

I usually just get creative out of the way as fast as I can. Usually this is done in 30-35 minutes. Would it be more prudent to then do Short Answer or the Essay? I have a habit of doing SA after creative and rushing through, missing out on easy marks. In the trial I finished the paper with...

I have like four thematic concerns/ideas that I use for Mod C, which are pretty safe discussion points. However I wanna build up my theme bank without getting two obscure. For those of you who have done Birthday Letters, would you say there's some sort of representation of conflicting attitudes...

Some texts are telling me we add hydroxide to hard water to precipitate out the magnesium as magnesium hydroxide, which would work since that salt is insoluble. It also says to add carbonate ions so as to precipitate out the calcium ions, as calcium carbonate is insoluble in water. However...

Anything that hasn't yet been asked? I'm feeling a couple of those obscure pracs that no one ever does coming up.

When asked to define a surfactant, you'd usually say something to the effect of "a surfactant is a substance that reduces the surface tension of the liquid it is dissolved in". When talking about the cleaning action of soap, we say the long hydrocarbon chain attaches to the greasy surface and...

I usually get 12-13/15 in this section but I think it has the potential to be the easiest section to improve on. I almost always get 4/5 for the last question. How much should I be writing 2 mark question? How many techniques? inb4 'Practice'.

I know I can change the preference order around, but can I continue adding new ones and deleting ones I don't want? Thanks

As a greater western sydney resident, what weighted score would I need for an interview offer? I've heard 137.5 but idk. Mine is 139.5 :/

I have a friend who plays really awesome classical/flamenco fingerpicking guitar. He doesn't do any of the AMEB stuff though so he has literally zero qualifications, but he's a really smart guy and his ATAR estimate is like 98+. I've heard of there being quotas on how many students they accept...

Basically how formal should I be? Conversational, light hearted and offbeat or serious and professional?
