Aha I'm interested in the Biomedicine course at Melbourne Uni lol. :lol:

Well from those 3 subjects, definitely keep the ones that you enjoy the most. If you can't decide then I guess familiarise yourself with the content that will be learnt and ask yourself which one would be the most worth it in terms of enjoyment and scaling. If you like essay writing then do...

Yeah cohort sizes and strength do matter especially when in a small grade. If possible, try to aim for around the top ranks for each subject to ensure that your cohort doesn't drag you down if it is weak by any chance. Remember that rank 1 doesn't get affected by the cohort and will always...

100 isn't too bad for cohort size (my cohort had around 48 people lol). But anyways yeah cohorts may impact your ATAR especially if you're in the middle of the pack. If you're near the top end (I would say around top 15ish%), then you probably won't be affected much, if at all. Remember that...

Just remember that optimal study methods vary for each person. Some are visual learners and learn best when diagrams are drawn whereas some require taking down copious amounts of notes. Try to experiment with different study methods and determine what is best for you. Personally, I was an...

Hmm..I feel like as if I'm the only one considering to go interstate lol.

I've emailed you my presentation already. Check your PM - hope it helps!

Don't worry - Creative writing was my bane in English as well initially during my Preliminary and HSC years haha - but eventually in my Mid-Years and my Trials it turned out to be one of my strongest sections for some reason lol. A few answers to your questions: 1) Descriptive language helps a...

Re: $30/hr Tutoring - Biology, 2U, 3U and 4U Maths To be honest, I don't know pikachu975 personally but just from my experience from BoS I can definitely imagine him to be an excellent tutor. It's already hard enough to explain concepts via text without face-to-face communication but I can see...

I go to a private school too - but it's an all boys school in Dural.

Wow I had exactly the same assessment - I also gave a speech to my Physics class about Robert H Goddard. In the end I got 24/25 (lost a mark since I spoke too fast). Anyways some tips: - Make sure your speech is filled with physics concepts, equations and theories (for example in my speech I...

Yeah and then in the end it wasn't even in our HSC.

If you come first in all your subjects, then there is nothing to worry about in terms of your cohort dragging you down since your school assessment mark will always be the highest HSC exam mark achieved in your class (which will probably be you if you're first anyways). However, likes Jazz...

Lol I also had an assignment for Goddard too. I'll just copy and paste my notes for him here: 1. In 1922, independent of other scientists, Goddard proposed that a liquid-fuelled rocket which pumped gasoline and liquid oxygen into a combustion chamber would increase overall rocket efficiency by...

I thought it was a nice paper - Q14 I thought was a bit easier than other years. Overall I thought it was around the same difficulty as last year.

If a question asks us to a plot the data points on a graph and draw a line of best fit, do we extrapolate and continue the line or do we stop at the given range of the data points? Cheers :)

Yeah basically that. For reliability just: - repeat - ensure results are consistent - compare with other groups For accuracy: - it was crap - had to estimate no. of red blood cells that would fit in areas which didn't have them

Have you tried the 100 Coroneos integrals? Most of them are pretty standard integrals but some can be challenging. Also, maybe try the Bored of Studies trials lol they're ridiculous (e.g. Q11a) for this year's one - yes I know I can't even do the first short answer question lol)

Bit of a dumb question but speaking of nerves, do they only contain bundles of axons or do they have dendrites as well? I've legit seen various sources say different things so I'm so confused lol. Wikipedia and some textbooks for example only states axon but then my bio teacher said it contains...

Lol I was thinking the exact same thing for myself too
