I think they mean you need a 39 raw for it to be aligned to 45+. The E4 cut off will ALWAYS be 45, it just depends on how well the subject aligns each year which determines the raw mark cut-off. I got 44 in EE1 and an E3.

Oh you're right about 3u aligning well. Got 41. I only completed enough questions to get half that, that's assuming I got them all right. Stoked. Thanks BOS

I was lucky enough to win a Canon 7D worth over $3000 two years ago. While this is a camera body used by professionals (and it's been awesome, I must say) the lens is what really makes images stand out. I used to use an ancient 6MP Canon EOS camera before getting the new one, and if you whack a...

seriously best feeling ever. since we had trials in the two weeks immediately before the Monday the MDP was due, that time was probably more stressful for me than the actual HSC has been. It was a huge relief and I just went home that day and slept because I'd stayed up until 4am to get the...

Interesting theory bobbo but we did the independent trial so I'm sure my teacher had marking guidelines to go off when he marked the short answers. Even the multiple choice he got confused with some of the answers when we went through it so maybe they were just trickier ones. Or at least that's...

no problemo. good luck!

you take the side of the coil as a single wire, so ignore the rest of the coil and pretend the side you are after is just one straight wire

use your right hand rule (thumb points in the direction of current, fingers in the direction of the magnetic field) and the way your palm is facing is the direction of the force. as for magnitude, use the formula F = BILsin(theta)

ah check the syllabus.. here's what I've got from it: you need to know that stuff you mentioned, plus the edison-westinghouse competition back when they were deciding whether to use AC or DC power (analyse secondary information on the competition between Westinghouse and Edison to supply...

legends. thanks for the help. tomorrow will be endless hours of multiple choice practise for me :/ I'm hoping there's no nasty surprises like most of the other exams so far, I need a band 6 because this subject will have to count (due to the crappy scaling of D&T)

aw damn, hope not. i see you do ext 1 maths, haha talk about raped... maybe they'll give us a break in physics? what are the trends for the six/eight mark short answers? if something comes up about the astronaut case study, shoot me.

the cssa trial? on the resources section for physics there are marking guidelines listed for the 08 paper http://www.boredofstudies.org/courses/science/physics/1258150979_2008_Physics_Trial_Paper.pdf

ah, i stand corrected. i mean that the flux can travel different directions through the coil, i.e. from side A to B or side B to A which constitutes two different directions and thus one is negative. but yeah we had a terrible teacher so all of this is coming from HSC online hahah

hmm yeah these emf graphs are my weak point too. so i'm probably not the person to ask. But i'll give it a crack: basically if it goes into the negative, that means the emf has changed direction as you said. This is because the flux is now going through the coil in the opposite way. It's helpful...

yeah pretty sure that's it; emf = (change in flux)/(change in time) so since the flux is changing from 0.5 to 0 and back from 0 to 0.5 both over the same time period, the change in flux and the change in time are both constant, giving a constant induced emf.

that's the issue; I tend to get mixed up with the one that seems right but isn't. And also, like you said, I think I know my content pretty well but in short answers, it's easy to identify the syllabus dot point they're testing (because the questions are basically a dot point re-worded) but in...

Hi fellow physicists, anyone want to help me out with multiple choice technique? I know most people consider it to be the easiest part of the exam but for some reason it's the one I fall down on. 79/100 for my trial and 11, yes ELEVEN of those marks were lost on multiple choice. So that'd make...

yeah, except generally the language and techniques part is assumed, as in mentioned in the rubric that you're meant to analyse language forms and features

well it's pretty hard to write a reflection from outside that particular character's point of view, so yeah first person narrative. My creative basically ripped off the beginning part of the movie Pandaemonium. Probably a bad idea because I know some people will use this as a supp text... Oh well

The Romanticism question was like an Inception question. It was two questions, within a question.. Hard to show your knowledge of either aspect of the question considering they were basically asking for four texts so it was a loottt to write about. Also hard to integrate your discussion of the...
