Ahh true, I must admit I skimmed over the "electromagnetic" part, and just read it as wave. Even so, option A shows that cathode rays can impart momentum, which at the time was thought to be a solely particle like characteristic. EDIT: Fuckery, just realised it says "charged" particle, which...

12 The debate as to whether cathode rays are charged particles or electromagnetic wavescontinued for many years. Which observation of cathode rays resolved this debate? (A) Cathode rays can turn a paddle wheel. (B) An electric field can deflect cathode rays. (C) Cathode rays can penetrate...

That.

If your situation's as you say it you're not going to get an accurate estimate - it all depends on how good this "top 10%" is, which is going to vary vastly every year. I'd definitely say at least the very 90 though, probably 95+.

~95

Thanks, I'll give that a read :) EDIT: 100% on last years MX1 paper? dear lord.

Also, it probably doesn't help that I did much less study than I should've for a few recent assessments and still done really well - reinforcing the thought that's lingering in the back of my mind that I can get away with not studying...

Yeah, I realise that focusing on opponents isn't the best approach to school (or anything for that matter), but i find it hard not to - the only reason i picked up my act at the beginning of year 11 and actually started doing anything more than the bare minimum to avoid getting a detention was...

I'm doing pretty well, first in a few subjects, ranked relatively high in the rest (lowest would be =28/~140 in english) and I'm on track to get my desired ATAR. However, I feel that I'm losing motivation. The reason I was able to top the subjects i'm topping is that i was able to think that...

~90

I don't even. Jerkin' the gherkin, polishing the wand, beating the meat, charming the one eyed trouser snake, priming the pump etc. soloooooo isn't a dude? mind=blown EDIT: It even says female on the thingo under her name... I'm freaking oblivious. I might as well give it a go, i mean, why not?

You would show x=z implies BAE is a right angle and then (seperately) show that BAE being a right angle implies x=z

Christ almighty, there's more to school than your fucking rankings.

Ahh I love that question. First time I saw it was when we did differentiation in year 11 (although it was way beyond anything we were required to do). Stumbled across it right before I went to bed and then managed to solve it whilst lying in bed trying to get to sleep. I was so proud when I...

After reading the basic unit outline I was incredibly jealous that people are going to be taught that level of maths in high school. I get less and less jealous as I scroll down and read stuff like: "There are opportunities in Specialist Mathematics to explore, develop and apply ethical...

I found the easiest way to learn it at first is to convert it to scientific notation using a calculator and then use the first n digits if you're rounding to n significant figures. Obviously once you get better at it you don't need to actually use a calculator and you can just do it in your head.

Nope :(. I just had a look through the example problems on the website and it looks like a lot of fun though.

Dude. It's 3 hours drive. Hardly something that you'll never get to do in life. (Apart from the fact that there's not really much there)

75 pages is not a summary. My Space and M&G summary comes to 25 pages and it's fairly verbose + is done in latex with lots of spacing + has full derivations of all the formulas + includes stuff beyond the scope of the syllabus that i found interesting. Cut it down. EDIT: Didn't see that you...

i.e. "plz do my phd 4 me" :p Seriously though, I haven't the slightest idea how to even try and prove this, but it does look quite interesting. Looking forward to seeing a proof!
