That is Pure Gold.
was it Just me or was there like barely any B's?

Yes, there seemed to be a paucity of Bs, and a plethora of As and Cs. I bet if someone "C'd" the exam, they would get 60% in the multiple choice.

they aren't USED for mitosis, thats what they do. I put they both produce sex cells

I dont think ovaries create sex cells, they just store them.

Accumulative knowledge from year 9 to 10 (a good memory helps) and a lot of crunch inbetween DotA clan wars (reading the notes made during class). The latter is true, although I probably would be better off without it. Oh, and 10 trial examination papers helped.

You'll find that only half of the people here go to selective schools, and a lot of those people to the obscure selective schools. Quite a few people here are just people from top classes.

lol Dota i was using TF2, i did heaps of study but now i look back i think it wasnt worth it,


and i'm at Figtree High School in Wollongong i don't really my school ranks well, doesn't mean i wont

 

[Hayzazz]

Bwahahaha, my Fort St is the best so far, ranked 28th. Although, it used to be ranked 14th...

I agree; the ratio of the ammount of information we consume at the tables at school and the ammount we excrete onto the paper on the examination bowel is nowhere near an equilibrium. However, these tests are made to be fair to the average person; especially those leaving year 10, so that they can get jobs and won't get prejudiced against for low marks.

And yes, your school's rank does not matter at all: all that matters is your rank compared to others in your school and, after that, everyone who attempted the test.

HOMEBUSH BOYS..... ranked 73rd

yep. i go to a private school but in top classes for every subject. i thought it was odd that so many people were doing 3 unit maths, 3 unit english and physics or chemistry.
even though i was invited to chemistry, physics, 3 unit english and 2 unit maths, im still only doing, bio, adv english and general maths
the easy way out. i only want to be a primary school teacher.

 

[Jabba Da Hat]

Loved the imagery, i am probably one of the higher achieving students in my school, except because i "have an unusual study pattern' i wasn't able to get my HSC classes i wanted they all clashed, so i made a sacrifice. hope it pays off in the end though

 

[mirakon]

Does that mean i got it wrong?, Will the computer recognise its partly correct (well if it is)

Does the computer mark this section (the one word answers) as well?

What did you guys put for the dude on the moon and earth? I wrote weight = mass x acceleration (usually gravity), weight is dependent on acceleration, mass isn't, in 0g there's no weight but still mass and weight is measured in kg, mass is in N.

Usually gravity? I thought Weight was always equal to mass x gravitational field strength, not acceleration due to gravity. Also Force = mass x acceleration and weight does not always equal to force hence weight does not always equal mass x acceleration.
