    When are notifications sent for Showcase nominees?

    Lol yeah, only "clean" works get in. Alex Borowsky, who topped the state in extension two last year wasn't even feateured in the showcase. I think her short stories had something to do with Kings Cross, so it may have been too seedy (i.e. realistic) to be included. Tbh a lot of the showcase...

    When are notifications sent for Showcase nominees?

    Works that get in are 50/50. (However, since not all of these students may have been ranked first, their overall HSC mark might be lower.) EDIT: I didn't read your post properly, morning storm. I don't know what the requirements are to be nominated.

    What was your top/worst subject?

    Well the exams I thought were okay: Paper 1, Maths 2U, Modern History, Chemistry, History Extension, Extension English. Exams I didn't like/did badly in: Paper 2, Maths 3U. LOLLLLL :'( I would have LOVED to swap chem with paper 2 - chem's not counting while paper 2 will!

    Section I: Short Answers

    In regards to the half-cell with the chlorine, wouldn't it have a somewhat greenish tinge? I thought chlorine had that kind of colour, especially with the gas being a green colour. So if you're pumping a greeny gas into the half cell, wouldn't it assume this colour (since the electrolyte and...

    Sex without condoms...

    Buy better condoms. Or better yet, abstain. But since you probably won't be listening to this Christian, buy stronger condoms. LOL.

    Actually, doing an original, not-overdone film is good because not only do you have features of language to analyse, but also visual effects that, coupled with highly sophisticated analysis of dialogue, will impress the markers. It would certainly be better than Dave Pelzer's book I believe...

    DISAPOINTING you teachers.

    Yes. I'm going to disappoint in probably most of my subjects, none more so than Advanced English.

    Estimate band 6 cutoff

    I really doubt that 85 would be the highest mark. 95 maybe, but I'd be more inclined to think that there are some exceptional students out there who would get aound 97 or 98 or even 99. P.S. The Board of Studies markers usually mark easier than our own teachers. They wouldn't be so pedantic.

    Estimate band 6 cutoff

    They look at the papers, then they determine the cutoff, according to cem who has been part of this process. As they have not looked at the papers, they probably haven't determined the mark needed for a band six. The mark needed to gain a band six in modern history is around 83; this mark is...

    Around 80%. Many people would have found the calculations very difficult.

    My answers: short version a) i) The rod can be Zinc - anode - oxidised in preference to the steel; steel is reduced and hence it is protected from corrosion. ii) Two methods: coating the steel with paints such as Rustmaster; coating the steel with zinc (galvanising). b) i) Comparing the rate...
