    Going into Yr 11 Chemistry? Help!

    The chemistry syllabus is on the board of studies website (both prelim and hsc). Knowing how to balance equations is just a matter of practice - you'll get the hang of it as long as you consistently practice and do exam questions throughout the year.

    Cracking Question

    The reactant doesn't have to be from decane specifically - it can be any long chain HC. The only restriction is that a long chain hydrocarbon alkane must decompose into smaller units (USUALLY two smaller units - one alkane and one alkene). Eg. pentane ---> ethene + propane. Also there are...

    chances of making it to med

    that is much easier said than done! I would be more comfortable sitting for the GAMSAT if it wasn't for the humanities section - and not to mention the interviews which they'd probably ramp up the difficulty for (compared to interviewing for school leavers)

    If you ask for HSC exam recheck can your mark get lower?

    From what I heard from my tutor, a mark recheck actually means they just count up the marks again to see if its added correctly. No one actually re-marks your paper. So what's most likely to happen is that you get the same mark again. That being said, this information comes from a private tutor...

    Medicine is shit!!!

    How did you get guaranteed entry into UQ if you're doing HSC this year? Isn't that provisional entry for school leavers and also considers your ATAR?
