As my teacher put it, all the girls were failing (or just not doing nearly as well as the boys), and so they changed the papers from all numbers (look at an exam paper from 1960-1980: it's about 3 pages long and all numbers) to written questions (now we get 10 page long papers with lots of...

Dragon Naturally Speaking is generally regarded as the best in voice recognition software, but it will cost you. The package usually comes with a microphone and everything you need to get going, though. IF_

In Word, press Insert -> Text Box. Then, hit Delete (that gets rid of the box) and draw your box. Next, right click on an empty spot on the Formatting bar, and select "Text Box". In the toolbar that appears, press "Change Text Direction". I_F

Do you want to repeat? Are you willing to put the effort in? If yes, go ahead. If you couldn't be bothered, they are excellent marks for 3U and 4U, and if you don't want to repeat, I wouldn't advise that you do. You won't do as well. If you do want to repeat, and you're confident of getting...

Re: What do you think of the BOS wiki? I'd like the wiki more if it had more content (though that's partly my fault for not putting any in like all the other guys :p). However, it's definitely a smart way to organise resources. I_F

Your school library should have a copy of the UAC guide - this lists all the UAIs required. It'll be a year out of date, but it'll give you a general idea. I_F

If you want an answer, English is compulsory because it's the "control subject" that's the basis for subject scaling used to calculate UAI. I_F

You only need 5th grade Musicianship for the AMusA, and I assume it's just 5th grade Theory as well. After the AMusA is the LMusA (Licensiate diploma) and the FMusA (Fellowship diploma). I_F

Re: Jerseys for yr 12 2006! I don't know if anyone's actually organising our jerseys. A year ago, I would have put my hand straight up, but I've just gotten apathetic about it over the past year. I don't really care for two dozen people all complaining about a friggin' colour scheme. So I'll...

Your problem is here: 0.4/2 (0+2(0.56+1.44+2.64+4.16)+2) You haven't squared 2 and added 2 to it, like you have for each other value. 22 + 2 = 6. Use 6 instead of 2 and you'll get the right answer. I_F

Re: HSC Assessments- Thoughts/Results v1.0 Well done - top results! Keep those up and you'll have the groundwork for a great result. :D I_F

First off, hey there, and welcome! :) From the question, you know that: x + y = 28 (sum is 28) Thus y = 28 - x xy = M (some maximum value) Now you need to substitute in your value for y in terms of x (28 - x). To then work out the maximum value, derive the equation, and since...

I don't see much point in deleting/making dormant user accounts. They and their posts are all part of the history of the site, and people who sign up for accounts and then leave shouldn't lose their account simply for convenience's sake. Besides, I don't actually think it's possible to make...

That's the way. Make your goals, then make them become reality. :) I_F

For a UAI of 86, you will need at least a band 5 in English, and low to mid band 6's in each other subject. Band 5's would probably be pushing it given your subject choice. It's possible to achieve a good UAI with any combination of subjects as long as you rank relatively highly in your internal...

A 95 in IT is far better than an 75 in Ext. English. It's as simple as that - any subjects can get you a high UAI as long as you do well in them. Doing Maths Ext. 2 and ending up with 42 is much, much, much worse than doing General Maths and getting 95. And for your sister, if she sucks at...

For all of them, you need to rewrite the equation in terms of y, i.e: 1) y=1/4x2, therefore x = 1/2√y. Now, it's exactly the same as integrating over the x-axis - F(b) - F(a). Integrate from y = 0 to y = 1 (the first quadrant is the top right hand side of your cartesian plane, up and right from...

Just a quick question - are the new "required fields" in the profile actually required by law or anything? I'm guessing that would be why the postcode is needed, but the Interest field puzzles me completely. I_F

Be careful. I recommend you do it yourself outside of class - it's not that difficult (apart from the loan repayments - that may need some explaining) - it's all relatively straightforward. :) Let d = common difference Let a = first term Let n = number of terms S10 = 100 S20 = 400 (S20 - S10...

More important in this instance is where you rank in the class. All your assessments do is define exactly where you stand compared to the rest of your class - this rank is all-important. Depending on your school size, you should be aiming to rank in at least the top 20% - top 10% is even better...
