    Biology? Are you ready?

    Any guesses as to what the big 7-8 marker will be on this year? I'm thinking definitely something from Maintaining or Search because it's been Blueprint for like the last two years. Maybe malaria?

    Biology? Are you ready?

    As far as I know all you need to know is that helper T cells initiate the production of B cells to help fight infection? Make sure you know the 4 different types of Tcells to!

    Biology? Are you ready?

    This is a solid explanation and I may be incorrect but I think the only thing a little wrong here is that rRNA doesn't specifically catalyze the process you can just say ribosomes catalyze the process and rRNA are a structural part of ribosomes (along with other proteins).

    Did you have a job during HSC/Year 12?

    I have a job but I'm not working at the moment because of exams and when I get swamped I always have time off. Talk to your employer hopefully they'll be understanding about it and if not look for another job?

    Approach to studying Chemistry?

    With chemistry what I did personally is started making summaries straight up, just definitions of everything we learnt in the course then every day just try and read over your summaries, it'll be boring and you'll pretty much stop paying attention but eventually it'll sink in. Then get a piece...

    mathematics

    d/dx(lnf(x)) = f'(x)/f(x) Therefore ln(cosx)= -sinx/cosx =-tanx Spi I think you left out a negative sin.

    Drop to standard english??

    I managed to get 81% in standard and increased my bio mark from 74% (half yearlys) to 91% (trials) All my other marks increased by about 5%ish but I was just stoked with all the extra study time I got to spend on Biology as it was one of my weakest subjects.

    Drop to standard english??

    Everyones going to go crazy at me for saying this but idc, I'm so glad I dropped to standard it's not even funny. I think it's about 10000000 times easier then advanced and gave me extra study time which allowed me to drastically increase all my other marks. But that's my personal opinion.
