    A question about Scaling and the value of 4U maths.

    A 20% weighting is pretty low- especially for 4u you'll be fine IMO. The important thing though is to do your best not to eff up any more tests- good luck :)

    Moderated assessment mark

    This is almost impossible to call - especially as you are two thirds into your cohort. Id probs guess low 80's but that is a massive guess- I've got no real idea sorry

    Can you guys give me advice if this friend is a good friend or bad one?

    Why don't you talk to him about his behaviour? He might not know that he's acting like that. One day when its just you two, just bring it up casually and see what he says. If he changes his ways, than stick with him. If not, I would class him as a bad friend and -POOF- off he goes imo

    With Uni preferences say I got accepted to my 5th preference but I changed my mind...

    Re: With Uni preferences say I got accepted to my 5th preference but I changed my min I know this is off topic but why are you asking about your 5th and 8th preferences? Are you assuming you won't get into your top four? (remember you can still re-order even after ATAR's). If you like your 8th...

    Merit and Entry Scholarship Email

    A bit late (was in Qld) but I got both a physical letter and an email at the start of last week saying I was shortlisted (business faculty). I wouldn't stress though if you didn't get a letter alongside your email- the system seems to be a bit haphazard atm.

    The Grass Factor

    Very unimportant to me haha- I never even thought about it (though I've only considered UNSW and USyd and they both have grass so maybe that's why I haven't thought about it lol)

    The Football Thread

    Re: The Official A-League Thread. ^Are you serious? As much as I dislike Beckham and consider him a ridiculously overrated footballer, a 10 game stint in Australia would be MASSIZE for football here- if it can happen I'm 100% in support of it. Though ESPN reports that the rumours are false...

    Subjects

    This is probs not the intention of your question but honestly, if you want to do law at UNSW/USyd, because of the very high cut off, you need to pick subs that will allow for an ATAR in the high 99's. Even though its theoretically possible, doing gen maths and standard english (for example) will...

    Tips for interviews?

    Protip: Robots don't hire people, people hire people. So it doesn't matter how good you are on paper, if you piss the interviewer off, or act like a douche you won't get the job. Be likeable etc..

    HSC 2013 MX2 Marathon (archive)

    Re: HSC 2013 4U Marathon ^Oh I did it a different way. Recognise that z^2n=1 (By De Moivres). So z^2n-1=0 and therefore: (z-1)(z^2n-1+...+z^2+z+1)=0 upon factorising and the result follows

    Hardest Module?

    Year 11 marks going towards the HSC?

    I'm pretty sure that for any HSC task you have to be given proper notice and everything-> given that you just found out that it counted, then I would think that what the school did wasn't allowed. Call BOS and see what they think. Also, why are your trials weighted at 50% if you've got 4...

    Madnessssssss?!

    It all depends what the second test was out of. I assume it's something low (around 35) because that's what the first task was out of and they are equally weighted. Going off this assumption, I quickly did it and you should have beaten him. @Rawf, the marks don't matter- the gap between the two...

    ATAR Estimate Please

    I would probs go a bit higher than that-> I reckon you'd be 'ranked' around 30th in your year and I think your school would get 30 99's so I'd predict something like 99 flat

    I'm a mess, someone help?

    Ok just quickly (I'll be to the point): 1. If you are ranked first at school, the performance of others has no effect on you. So theoretically if you top everything, you could get 99.95 2. Your best two units of english HAVE to count but you can count more than your best two 3. I'll be 100%...

    Madnessssssss?!

    No what you have typed makes no sense at all to me lol. When you say down by 7 marks in Task 1 for example, does that mean that you beat him by 7/XX (whatever the task was out of) and that task was weighted at 15%? If so, we need to know what the task was out of because being beaten by 7 marks...

    HSC 2013 MX2 Marathon (archive)

    Re: HSC 2013 4U Marathon Nah its defs an ellipse- you are taking the sum of the distances from two points and that equals a constant -> one definition of ellipse. A line would be something like: |z-i|=|z+i|
