First the marks came out, then the ATAR, then we had the day or two to scramble for excuses or enjoy some celebratory cocktails/mocktails...before the world ended. Well it didn't so all of you HSC students are embarking on a new chapter in your lives, many I am sure having developed wonderful...

Damn I can't edit the title. It was supposed to read: "Who thinks they or someone they know has 99.95 in the bag?" Just out of curiosity, which BOSers do we think will get 99.95?? And how many people in the state normally get one? Good luck to all the Year 12s for tomorrow and the day...

No arrogance involved! I know I would never get a First in the State ranking. I'm just intrigued to know when these geniuses find out and what exactly happens. Anyone know???

What do you guys think is required for Band 5, Band 6 and 50/50? Of course, nothing is conclusive until after the exam, but generally speaking, what do you guys think?

Help please! can't be stuffed to use jpeg --> pdf converter I must sound like a tech imbecile right now...

Normally when I do topic "summaries" (i don't really), I write a list of ways I see certain questions or things you pick up on that aren't necessarily taught but you know just work. Right now, binomial proofs are doing my head in a little bit. I know I'll get it eventually (hoping) but tips...

IS anyone else's BOS screenshot tilted like mine??? Is this a prank by the moderators? Am I on LSD? (no)

http://www.smh.com.au/world/you-know-what-men-are-like-indonesia-to-ban-miniskirts-over-links-to-rape-20120329-1vz7q.html What do you guys think? Personally, I'm shocked by the move. I personally think that women aren't raped because of their provocative clothing (many are in conservative...

PLEASE DON'T BE OFFENDED BY ANYTHING I'VE WRITTEN. None of this post is my personal opinion. I find both sides hold merit so please don't make unfair judgements. This is going to be an interesting discussion. I'm really interested to see what males and females think about rape. There are many...

This is a really random subject I'm bringing up but I was wondering if anyone has experience with fountain pens? I've heard that it applies less strain on your hand when writing. At the same time, it's not great for maths or sciences because scanners don't pick up the dot points which is a big...

My word is SOMNOLENT somnolent: almost sleeping, or causing sleep a somnolent summer's afternoon

I played it ages ago when I was year 7 and i've been watching videos of people sobbing in foetal positions after smashing their computers to smithereens. for some reason, i feel THE NEED TO PLAY IT. SEEMS SO EXCITING to play or not to play? anyway who hasn't played it, go play it now :D hehehehe

For UNSW and USYD, what kind of scholarships are available? I've heard there are full scholarships but to qualify you need 99.95 ATAR along with other qualifications, probs looking at cocorricular and interviews I'm guessing? What other kinds are there?

I was wondering, for state rankings, are those based on the combined school and HSC mark or just the HSC mark? And how difficult is it to get 100 in 3U maths HSC? About how many people will actually get it?

Q1: A hemispherical bowl of radius a units is filled with water to a depth of a/2 units Find, by integration, the volume of the water. I keep getting the answer 7a^3pi/24 The answer is 5a^3pi/24 I must be struck by an indefinable stroke of dumbness of (hopefully) the answer might be wrong. I...

Right now, I do about 7-8 hours of co-corricular a week, I'm not doing, I might if I continue like this next year. Most Year 12's I've come across have no co-corricular, seems unhealthy but I guess you could have other outlets like just having general fitness?

So my mum just had a rant at me about how I should be preparing for UMAT. Should I be? I've heard it's basically like IQ/general knowledge/GA and that for certain people, you should, and others, you don't really need to.
