Well, you're only in Year 11. Take this as experience, and learn to prepare more thoroughly next time.

+1 (even the 16 year old part) You only have to sacrifice 12 months of your life - and you'll be set for the next 40-50 years of your life. Remember, you don't really work, if you enjoy what you do. What you do now will determine if you'll be able to do what you want. Also with the...

Exactly, then your holidays are stress free, and even if you don't do work, it's ok, you don't fall behind.

Well, they aren't too bad scaling subjects. English (Adv) scales pretty well, and Legal, Geo and SOR have scaling approx to 25 (N.B. I said approx, don't go flaming at me if I'm not precise), which isn't too bad - so his only weak subjects were General Maths and Industrial Technology.

They are low-scaling subjects, but that doesn't mean he'll do crap. As long as he is able to do well in all of his subjects - then he'll get a reasonable UAI (it might be hard if you're aiming for 90+, but 80-90 should be achievable). Also, knowing what Pal College is like, you've got such a...

I hate it. Not because of my teacher, or the class - but purely because of the course content.

Gabriel, maybe you're what's needed to fix her problems xD

Personally, I think if you don't fix those three characteristics, then you shouldn't get a tutor because you'll just waste your money. A tutor isn't some magic tool that will get you awesome marks, it will help you improve, but only if you put in the work. I go to a coaching centre which is...

Cool, thanks guys.

Hey guys, I was going through my school's past papers and I found this question. It makes sense to me, but I don't know how to explain it properly to get the 5-marks. I can get the sketch, but I was wondering if you guys could help me explain it. Question (5 marks): Rolle's Theorem states...

Yeah, that was a waste really. I only got a low Band 6, so I don't really care about wasting my 2U mark.

I don't. Besides I do 4U anyway, so I don't really need to differentiate between what is on what syllabus.

LOL I love being at my school. I think we're great, it's just we have a lot of 'slower' students which stop us from getting into the top 100. How's Year 12 treating you?

Yeah I agree that calculator should be fine. However, what do you mean the formulas aren't in the 2U syllabus. All he used was the unit circle/properties of trigonometric ratios. If you have Fitzpatrick 2U - it's on page 164. They call it 'Symmetry Properties of Trigonometric Ratios'.

It might numbers wise, but proportionally, it wouldn't. Besides - for me, any female company is good company. Also academically, I find I work better in a co-ed environment (tutor) compared to school (which is single sex from Years 5-12). Trust me, eight years of all boys education is not...

I get it now! Cool, thanks heaps xD

Hey guys, Just a volumes question - I'd appreciate it if you guys could help me (I can't get volumes into my head: 3. The base of a solid is a circle x^2 + y^2 = a^2. Each section of the solid by a plane perpendicular to the x-axis is a square. Find the volume of the solid. Also find the...

Re: too late to improve for assessments ? Hmm true, or maybe it was the fact that I didn't study at all during the year xD But yeah - I guess the main point is that it's never too late to improve - and I know that from personal experience. Also PBC - is my school's initials (I'm not sure if...

It should specify it... for example the question might say 'Assume the chord of contact is... or Prove the chord of contact is...

Depends... between Cabra and Fairfield. Hmm, do you use Facebook or anything?
