Yeah, Lazarus is right. It's the ability of the canditure that dictates how the scaling works. Which is why it changes slightly every year. Has the scaling for chemistry always been relatively good?

i think it has been above average

Nice notes, too bad not shipwrecks and salvage..

Glad to hear

please comment on how I could improve summary

Use colour, much easier to read. Black and white reminds me when of the old days, when I was enlisted in the vietnam war.. oh the horrible consequences of war.. many of my friends died..

but how can you tell? like if everyone is getting band 6s in each subject, maybe the exams were easy and so they will mark harder? how can they compare this year's exam with last? they can't?

dam that is cool

This is strange. Everytime any question about scaling appears, lazarus comes. Did they install something that notifies lazarus everytime the word "scale" comes up?

I'd be very interested to hear that too, all these HSC stuffs..

Thanks man. Goodluck everyone....

John, you sound a bit high - have n e thing lately?

Tia · 21 Sep 2003, 11:04 PM

Scale - let's lure Laz in. Maybe its an obsession. You reckon it could be a disorder of his?

I suppose.... I heard colour helps people learn

umm jim ur summery is ok....didn't think it was that good (sory).. casue i think there isn't enoguh detail at the point where it matters the most... and some points are way to general.. but overall very good quick revision notes.

**jm1234567890** · 23 Sep 2003, 6:05 PM

I reckon it would be too long if it were any more specific.

what points are you refering to?

Azn fairies · 24 Sep 2003, 10:58 PM

yeah it would be too long, but some important points (can't remeberr off the top of my head) liek the one that are usally worht 6+marks, area bit generally ...but it's still a mad summery!!! (well i personal can't do any better :P)

hipsta_jess · 27 Sep 2003, 12:11 PM

the only thing i can suggest is maybe some diagrams to show processes..like, when you talk about = bonds breaking to form other products and stuff, maybe chuck in a picture...but thats just how i learn
