In terms of absoluteness compared to other subjects it is not considered 'hard'. However difficulty varies from person to person for subjects like these. If I did the subject I would probably get a really low mark, not because I find it difficult but because I would find it boring. So no, it's...

I mean a doctor obviously knows more than a Hsc supervisor so I would be inclined to say that the doctors comment probably has more weight but this is just an educated guess.

This Just hope for the best. It's way too late to do anything about it now. I would be inclined to say it probably has a decent chance because it seem whatever happened was serious.

Basically the one thing that drags down many STEM focused kids who would've gotten an even higher atar. Including me ;-;

One of the authors is actually a user on this website. His username is Carrotsticks. You can just message him about the typos so he could correct them for future copies or something.

Personally I had the Physics in focus. I don't even know why I had it tbh but it is a good book. I would recommend it.

https://www.masteringhscmathematics.com.au/ There is a preview on their actual website. Take a look for yourself. Since you already have MIF, I would recommend getting a textbook like the one above as MIF already explains concepts well but it's questions are way too easy. A book like...

From an outsiders point of view I would just go with whichever one was ranked better.

In that case probably take your chance with the printed copy. Use a bit smaller font and also lower the size of the text but make sure that it's actually readable. Another thing is you can decrease the page margins. This means more words fit onto a page and thus giving the illusion that you've...

I don’t get it. Your going to hand in a printed essay? How does that work? Secondly obviously they’re not gonna count words but teachers can tell x number of pages = roughly y amount of words, and this varies a bit. So it kind of depends on how over do you think you are as they will be...

Eh my school was ranked late 200s so quite close to 300. Don’t worry about all that. Focus on bettering yourself and I assure you that you’ll be fine =)

Definitely get off Maths in Focus ASAP. There is a new textbook that has just recently come out called ‘mastering Hsc mathematics’. Obviously it has ext1 versions as well. The ext2 version isn’t out yet I think. I would recommend this book because I know one of the authors and I certainly know...

Nope. What actually matters more is your rank. I got 70% as my first ext 1 score and was ranked near the bottom. I ended up with a high E4 mark. My school was ranked 200+ as well.. Focus these holidays on improving your maths because from now on if you want a higher range E4 you will need to...

You probably won't then, just because the HSC aligns your mark so even if you get 50% that will align to a higher mark so I reckon a band 1 is probably unlikely.

Conditional is conditional. They will definitely look at your atar BUT if you bring a lot of other things to the table then your atar will be less emphasized. However if the course has like a 90 atar cutoff and you get an atar of 60 then obviously the chance of rejection is much higher. So yes...

Why do you care so much haha. I guess you kinda have to try to get a band 1 imao, but I guess there are people who aren't academically inclined and more into the trades which is fine as well. At least that was the situation with my school.

Obviously very highly unlikely. I don't know anyone whose gotten a band 1 but there would definitely be people who have gotten it before. I think maybe a few people from my school might've gotten a band 1 in General maths because they were failing their internals.

Well your not wrong...

He pulled out a factor of 1/z from the numerator as 1/z * z = 1 and 1/z * 1 = 1/z so like \dfrac{|1-1/z|}{|z-1|} = \dfrac{|1/z(z-1)|}{|z-1|}

I failed a task in the HSC(Specifically Standard English and got like 45%) which scales MUCH worse than maths and my atar was still in the high 90s. So 58% for a low weighted task? Not as bad as you may think...
