Hey there, Please don't worry about it too much. I know that sounds like a cliched piece of advice but to be honest I was in a kinda similar position to you as well in my first term of Year 12. In my first English assessment, I ranked last. I have never been ranked last (let alone bottom...

1) Try to get at least 90% + in 2U and possibly 80% + in 3U in Year 11. However, this will really depend on the school you go to as some schools have more difficult exams than others. If you go to a school like JR or Sydney Grammar, then you could possibly lower the bar since I've heard their...

2006 - 2016 Seems like I didn't do as many compared to others rip.

Both are accepted for the HSC exam. However, scientifically, BrOH(aq) is actually the correct formula. In terms of school assessments, use what your teacher wants you to use since he/she is going to mark your exams. In terms of the HSC, use whatever you want. Personally, I used Br2 (aq).

Back in Year 11, I primarily used 2 textbooks (Cambridge and Maths in Focus) for 2U Maths. They both have their pros and cons. Personally, I found that Cambridge was much more detailed and a bit harder whereas Maths in Focus was much more simplified, easy and straight to the point. I normally...

When I got my results, Matrix and HSCNinja said I would get approximately 99.40. In the end I got 98.90 rip

Just curious, did anyone get an ATAR that was lower than the calculators? If so, was the gap large?

Oh, that's a shame that your teachers don't know. I'm not that knowledgeable on it either since I'm not doing medicine directly next year but I'll write down what I remember about the process. There are two 'pathways' for getting into Medicine. There is an Undergraduate pathway and a...

Haha I also had a listening task out of 15 as well. Since you'll be hearing stuff, it's really important to use a lot of auditory techniques. Auditory techniques are generally quite simple and some very basic techniques such as the pitch of the speaker or the rhythm of non-diegetic music are...

I didn't do 23 degree 5 minutes but I have heard of it. Your concepts sound interesting but just make sure you can link each idea back to Discovery. For example, how does the relativity of time relate to discovery? Is it that through one's emotional/spiritual self-discovery that they are enabled...

Lol I'm planning to learn Japanese and photography, play games on Steam and sleep...a lot :lol: Also trying to find a job as well haha

Hmm..I just finished my HSC Chemistry exam at the end of last month so I'll see what I can remember to help you out. I'll go over redox reactions first since they're covered in Production of Materials (which is the first module). I hand-wrote my notes instead of typing them so unfortunately I...

Gosh I watched around 25-30 anime series this year.

No worries man - Please don't feel like you're the only one. I also felt really similar to you during my first weeks of Year 12 but to be honest the thing that pulled me through was definitely the mental support I had from my parents and my school. I didn't go to an academically selective high...

Yeah its the same process as sketching f(x) to f'(x). - Stationary points become x-intercepts - Parts with a positive gradient are above the x axis - Parts with a negative gradient are below the x axis

Curve sketching questions that ask for points of inflexion and other calculus stuff will almost always be in separate parts [i.e. part i) and part ii)]. Part i) will usually ask for finding the points of inflexion or stationary points and then part ii) will usually be drawing the actual graph...

Are you talking about the 4U Cambridge book by Arnold & Arnold? If so, don't worry if you found it hard - the questions in it weren't really exam style questions in my opinion but the information there was nice. In terms of difficulty, I found that the first few questions of the Cambridge...

Hmm..I think I've seen a couple of questions like that but I might be wrong. If I recall correctly, I mostly used that formula to factorise expressions such as z^6-1 into a product of linear or quadratic factors. It's also commonly used for proving some random trigonometric identity but I can't...

That's true if your school has a large cohort each year that consistently performs around the same level. For example, say last year got around 20 people out of 80 in English (Adv.) that achieved Band 6 - this means that in order to increase your chances of a Band 6 in English (which as such...

Yeah I guess so although I haven't seen much questions that related special relativity to gamma rays etc
