For anyone interested, here's a simple notion template. https://airora.notion.site/HSC-Template-244e1e46c38c402696f29be53bdcef59?pvs=4

yep :) but make sure that the table is clear. My teachers have said that they should also be completely enclosed (i.e. the border of the table is also drawn alongside the lines within the table). Do this Don't do this

urgh the majority of the test was data-processing. i think most people thought it was relatively easy but i found it hard to gather enough info to meet the mark value for some of the questions :(

Sorry, i'm not following. It does matter whether the trait is dominant or recessive. If the disease was dominant X-linked, then the mother could have either the genotype X^B X^B or X^B X^b. These genotypes would also show that she is colourbind. The father would then have the genotype X^b Y. The...

Looks like a very scientifically valid study. A methodology that allowed 72 "experts" (where 4% of the respondents were identified as "interested laypersons" and 6% were students) to self-select into the questionnaire is definitely not biassed in any way and definitely represents the consensus...

Legal studies in high school isn't really law at uni. One of the law professors I talked to at the UNSW open day said to think of it more like criminology and public policy. We're generally judging the law's effectiveness by examining how people are impacted by it and its tensions between...

The key pieces of information from the question are: Huntingtons is autosomal dominant Stargardt is autosomal recessive Father's family has a lot of both diseases Mother's family has none and she is homozygous for both From this, we can deduce that Mother's alleles for huntingtons gene is hh...

Hey! I'm pretty sure schools are able to choose their own order of studying each module, though I've not heard of any schools that don't begin with the common module. You will need to write an essay for your common module in the HSC exam. As far as I'm aware, your internal assessment will...

They removed the need to list 3 in this year's question. Just go into detail into one :)

also dropped eng ext in year 12! I didn't mind it content-wise but (as someone who takes a disproportionate amount of time overthinking, planning and rewriting essays) it ultimately took too much time away from my other subjects. Despite being worth one unit, it probably took as much time (or...

You can list another course (that might not be your most preferred, but you are interested in nonetheless) from the uni with a lower ATAR requirement as one of your UAC preferences. This way you can be admitted into your desired uni, allowing you to later internally transfer into your desired...

the median ATAR gaining entry into UNSW law in 2022 was 96.95 and the median LAT was 75 :) https://www.unsw.edu.au/law-justice/study/undergraduate/law-admission-test (LAT Results>What results will I need to be competitive?)

yep, pretty sure those are all covered under the LEPRA 2002

idk what this masterclass is, but it is definitely not worth it😭. The test really just tests your ability to structure your response cohesively, analytically and coherently -- these are all skills you've learned through high school, and I doubt a 'masterclass' will teach you anything remotely...

Yes, they can (and has always been able to) choose one type specifically or give a range to choose from

along with pen thickness, it could also be due to the amount of pressure you're writing with, and the thickness of your paper (i.e. writing on a single sheet of paper on your table would feel really scratchy, so layering more sheets underneath would help) :)

I think, personally, the main benefit of Notion (apart from looking nice) is the organisational aspect you can achieve through databases. I started using it for note-taking in year 11 and generally found it easier to categorise and organise your notes in the database, as opposed to say folders...

It isn't fair 🤪. Students who have learnt Chinese in China, even if only up to age 10, will still arguably have a significant advantage over students who grew up in Australia speaking the language at home. And because of this, most of the candidature is really competent with 62% attaining a...

You will be assessed on this if it is your prescribed text (it was my prescribed text in year 11) - maybe confirm with your teacher about this. Whether you choose to read it is ultimately up to you; you could read through it if you want or you could just skim through and use sparknotes. You'll...
