    Recommended Texbooks/Study Guides for Preliminary HSC?

    Re: Recommended Texbooks/Study Guides? True. i mean when writing notes, if you make them too brief, you may miss out on important content which may be examined when studying and this often happens with those 'study guides'.

    10 or 12 Units for Year 12 (Poll)

    We have teachers timetabled onto our study period and they supervise/run the class. Most of them are really strict, as most of them are trying to do their own work as well - however when we have a relief teacher, it's not so bad. As for cosmology - why not give it a try if you are offered a...

    Year 11 Advanced English - Area of Study

    We do our Area of Study last in Year 11 because teachers think it would be more beneficial for Year 12, as we do AoS first in Year 12. We're doing Relationships with a focus on 'Who's afraid of virginia woolf'

    Yeah, we had 30 people get over 90 last year, and 3 people over 99, so yeah, proof you don't have to be in a Top 50 school to do it (we're 126 currently). OMG Cambridge. There's no bloody z plane in Fitzy.

    Need help with physics assesment!!

    I did something simular for my past physics experiment and I used foam and cardboard. I didn't have to protect an egg, but I did have to protect some plasticine passengers. In my opinion I think it worked well, but I'm not sure if it will work when trying to protect an egg.

    2008 Maths Competition

    Re: Maths Competition After doing the first 7 questions or so I thought, hmm this actually feels good. Then when I got to the 8th question, I thought fuck, and I was screwed over. So I guessed almost every question after that. Rage.

    Chemistry or Senior Science?
