    Hows everyone finding legal studies?

    Personally, I think the Crime topic in Yr 12 could have been more interesting. I never did the course, yesterday I was looking at my friend's Crime notes, and most of it was just common sense, stuff I already knew.

    Why are trade surpluses considered good?

    A trade surplus is when a country's export revenue (the money they get when they export their G&S) or credits, is greater than their debits (the imports they purchase that arrive in their country). Therefore, when a country is experiencing huge trade and current account surpluses, they can...

    Eco Question

    Yep. If this comes up in an exam, just remember the key points - how a fall in interest rates relative to international ecenomies discourages financial inflow, increasing the supply of $A, depreciates the currency, stimulates domestic consumption and investment, it's impact on exports and...

    Eco Question

    These are directly from my notes: Loose monetary policy involves the RBA buying government securities, which increases the money supply in the cash market, therefore resulting in a fall of the cash rate (or interest rate.) When interest rates drop, it is cheaper for domestic consumers...

    DILEMMA! 10U vs 12U

    Drop Economics. There is no point in wasting your time studying for a subject if you know you can't excel in it.

    Are the preliminary courses tested in the HSC?

    Um, no. I know people who did absolutely nothing through Year 11 and scored a 98+ atar. Also, to OP; what are your subjects next year? We'll be able to tell you what you should know for Prelim for those courses if you tell us.

    Anyone else pulling an all nighter for physics?

    So pumped for my last exam. Not pulling an all nighter though. Need to get sleep otherwise I won't be able to concentrate tommorow. Will wake up early though to do take a light look over my notes. Good luck guys!

    Please rate my Legal Studies response?

    I don't do Legal Studies, so I am not sure, but you could probably use cases to show the extent of the effectiveness of imprisonment by throwing in a few cases where the legal system can use imprisonment to remove someone harmful from society's grounds. For example, "The effectiveness of...

    Please rate my Legal Studies response?

    You should talk more about imprisonment, fines, Home Detention, etc, and the effects it has on victims, society and the offender. Like, for example, for Imprisonment you could talk about how it acheives internal peace, and balances the interest of the victim/s and society. Maybe also mention how...

    I want a 99+ atar

    I would use EXCEL textbooks. I'm pretty sure they cover all dot points in the syllabus, as well as offering sample exam pampers, etc. However, to give you the best advice, don't try and burn yourself out by doing this. Just sit back and enjoy Year 10 before Year 11 starts; because Year 11 is...

    making up stats, cases, media in legal essay?

    I don't do Legal Studies, but I don't think it's a huge issue. Cases and media reports are not that easy to find, it's even harder to find ones that support your argument. In my Modern trial, I made up a few quotes from historians and no teacher ever noticed, and I still got a Band 6. I think it...

    Section I - Multiple Choice

    Yes, that is also correct. Really, people, don't argue over such a simple question. In an expansion, the government hands out less as there is no large need for government payments/benefits. In a contraction, it's the complete opposite. That was probably one of the easiest questions of the...

    Section I - Multiple Choice

    Yeah, 12 is D. In an expansion, unemployment is low, (therefore less unemployment benefits), people are working and earning more (therefore more income tax taken out). If the question was asking for the impact of a contraction on Government expenditure and revenue, then yes C would be correct...

    Section I - Multiple Choice

    I think it is you who is over-reading the question. The question was "What would reduce the impact of the the worsening of the TOT", not what would improve the TOT, the TOT worsened from the previous year, therefore an increase in government spending will stimulate the economy leading to a...

    Atar estimate

    To come top ten in the state, you mean? I do past papers occasionally, my marks for each range to about 110-118. 110 has been my lowest mark.

    What would a raw mark of 95 in the external exam for MX2 align to? 99-100?
