    Help with Year 11 Subject Choices - Chemistry or Biology?!

    Physics over biology for sure . I do both and to be honest i love physics ,it's very interesting and if you like maths you should do it (even though they reduced the amount of math in physics ,but there's quite a fair amount ) . Year 11 biology is very boring to be honest my own biology teacher...

    Question about writing syllabus notes

    Yeah I am mainly talking about the sciences.. I thought the same thing but no notes on BoS seemed to look at/focus on them so I was just wondering because there is a few that are not on the left at all while others are just application of the left

    Question about writing syllabus notes

    Okay so you know how there's the two columns? Most BoS notes only make notes on the left side but there's some stuff on the right that isn't on the left.. So do you guys recommended doing notes on both or..? Hopefully someone understand what I'm trying to ask

    Typing vs writing notes

    I agree with the editing and speed and everything but what about in terms of your memory? Maybe its just me but if I hand write something out it does take longer but it tends to stick in my memory more though I havent actually done proper notes before thats why I'm asking I guess :P

    Typing vs writing notes

    Just wondering what your opinions are on typing notes, is it less efficient in terms of memory? better? the same? 25 pages later for biology my hand is killing me and I know heaps of people who type notes, but I just figured it wasn't as effective in terms of memory and stuff so even though i...

    Confused about the whole ranking thing..

    Thanks so much guys :) so your cohort affects you due to the gaps but if your near the top your moderated mark will still remain close to the others at the top.. So the school rank thing is just what people use to get an idea of your cohort but really your school might be ranked low but if only...

    Confused about the whole ranking thing..

    So when it comes to your HSC the internal marks that you get are actually marks from the external exams just moderated and all that? Your actual assessment mark itself does not matter? If someone came 3rd and got 92% on his external, the highest in his class, the 3rd highest external (84% for...

    Confused about the whole ranking thing..

    Everyone keeps saying the importance of ranks so I have a question. If someone at a school ranked 300th came 2nd in lets say, 3u math with a mark of 62% would they end up with a higher or lower internal mark than someone at a school ranked about the same got 83% but came 6th? Everyone keeps...
