Music 1 is a bit disappointing in how poorly it scales. My son, a self taught musician, scored 96 in Music 1 but it scaled so poorly, it wasn’t included in his ATAR. Ah well, at least he enjoyed taking it as a subject. @Life’sHard, so what do you think of the dynamics of his latest arrangement...

R & D Engineering student with straight HDs At Uni, including adv maths, adv physics & adv programming (previously scored 98 in HSC adv maths in Yr 9, 98 in MEx1 in Yr 10, 97 in MEx2 in Yr 11) available for 1 on 1 online maths and/or physics tutoring ($65/hr). Offering one free trial lesson.

A lot of schools offer compacted programs for individual subjects in Yr 11, so there must be ways to cover preliminary & HSC content in the one year, but no way they can enrol a student a couple of months before the HSC.

I agree with you - I don’t think they can since the school has to submit assessment marks. The student wouldn’t have completed the tasks (assignments, tests, trials), so they would have to give them zero for all the assessments that they missed.

I’m not trying to elicit identifying info, but is your child already at Beecroft Public? Beecroft Public ranked third overall in the last NAPLAN (https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/naplan-year-5-results-the-state-s-top-schools-revealed-20230222-p5cmls.html). That sort of result suggests that...

You might find this previous BoS thread useful: https://boredofstudies.org/threads/difference-between-evaluate-and-assess.316123/ ‘Assess’ and ‘Evaluate’ do overlap a fair bit; in an ‘assessment’, you’re generally given some criteria against which given data should be compared, whilst in an...

I did include ‘but this might be too early for you OP if you are doing stage 5 maths.’ It actually sounded like OP might be doing Yr 11 maths even though they are in Yr 10. Generally, I think it’s a better approach to teaching to say ‘yes, you’re right, but that’s something you’ll learn about...

log-2 (-8) isn’t defined in the real plane of numbers, but it is with complex (real + imaginary) numbers which is explored in Yr 12 extension 2 maths. I highly recommend this YouTube video (www.youtube.com/watch?v=9D62oOf7k2A) for those who have already covered complex numbers, but this might...

There are two separate questions in the original post. I would imagine rankings for each subject are determined the same way most schools are and equal positions would be common. WRT Dux, there are usually several students with ATARs of 99.95 and they are each conferred the title. Several...

Yr 11 maths extension student offering tutoring & homework help for Yrs 7-9 maths. Does not include any materials - will help you with questions from your textbook or set exercises. Rate is $25/hr with split lessons (ie. 2x 30 minute sessions) if you prefer. First hour lesson offered as a free...

I fail to understand from your explanation why it is cheaper. If it does have all the features of the 100 plus new additional features, then unless retail stores discount their stock of 100’s, they will likely be left with unsold 100’s. Surely Casio won’t want to upset their relationship with...

In this scenario, neither u nor v are 0 m/s. If an object is stationary (initial velocity of 0 m/s), it will not move upwards on its own accord; the only force acting on it is gravity which is in a downward direction.

OP, if not already stated in the task description, state that the designed practical is "to find the chemical composition of zinc in ZnCO3 of the given mixture". Any thing else would be unreasonably difficult.

Can you assume that the only zinc present is as ZnCO3 (ie. there’s no zinc in the unknown soluble salts)?

Yes, it is attainable. Your current trajectory is probably below an ATAR of 80, so you‘ll need to put in more effort, but you’re less than halfway through the assessment component, so you can work on the other eighty percent of your marks.

Deciding whether to continue or drop a subject is a totally personal decision impacted by many variable factors that only the individual can assess, however a few points worth mentioning from your past and present subjects: You have already completed HSC maths and engineering subjects - if you...

I understand that by its very nature, it’s very competitive to achieve a high ATAR, but I assume the reason for aiming for a high ATAR is to get into a desirable Uni course. The risk of getting tutored for every single HSC subject, is that the student may not learn how to learn independently and...

Might be worth pouring boiling water into a food thermos container and into a ceramic container (teapot or soup mug) and see which has held the temperature of the water better after five minutes.

Actually, most basic ceramic teapots would probably provide adequate insulation. Try K-Mart, Big W, Target, IKEA or a kitchen warehouse.
