    Some recommended textbooks/ study guides for Prelim...

    -Maths Adv & Ext -English Adv& Ext -Chem - Physics Maths In Focus Or Cambridge English doesn't really need a textbook but hey if you need just get TopNotes... Physics in Focus or Physics Jacaranda are really good books in my opinion but I lean to Physics in Focus as it's done structurally.

    Poor rankings + Great enthusiasm towards learning = Recipe for ?

    so what if your Ruse rank/marks aren't the best but it is still far better than the standards of other schools? Reliant on getting scaled up?

    Assessment concern hsc

    the sneaky way of doing it for all subs is that they ask questions which are on your HSC syllabus but require an understanding of the preliminary content to answer it correctly as you might need to use the correct terminology.

    Poor rankings + Great enthusiasm towards learning = Recipe for ?

    When it comes to year 12 rank is more important than mark! it will greatly affect your ATAR, so if that is the case for you then you really need to work on changing that if you have a ATAR goal of 80-90.

    What is the best Economic textbook?

    Riley = Super tedious book, but really gets you to study hard and is more rewarding. Dixon = Much simpler, gets to the point. kwu1 pretty much said it as it is, although personally for me I prefer to use Riley to learn as it forces me to work harder and then use Dixon to just revise/study and...

    Economics Essay HELP

    When ever you plan on doing an economics essay make sure you create a very strong structure, before you write the essay get a sheet of paper and plan out the order of your arguments in such a way that each one builds upon the previous. The structure would just be dot points, but written in such...

    Really worried about this year... please help?

    The only reason people ever burn out is due to a lack of motivation, if you're studying in a way in which you enjoy what you're learning and make sure you're still giving yourself time to do other things then you'll be fine, you seem to be pretty motivated, it's still early in the HSC Course but...

    Legal Issues involved in Piracy

    Normally when you're asked to evaluate something you should always first explain what the issue is, you need to assume that the reader isn't even aware of what the issue is at first. So in this instance you would go along the lines of something like: 1. Definition of piracy. 2. Explain how...

    Tutoring for the humanities?

    Why do people get tutoring for their humanities? I actually thought there wasn't such thing, then learnt that they existed and people actually bother to go to them.

    Textbooks

    For Economics the two best would be Tim Riley & Tim Dixon, When it comes to the HSC Course, Riley is a lot more writing and text, it's very tedious but it forces you to work harder, Dixon is set out in a nicer format, easier to look at but not as indepth. Normally I'd learn with Riley and then...

    What is everyone up to at school?

    my physics teacher doesn't really teach much, just goes through course quickly and talks about a few concepts occasionally, we just end up not doing much in class then so tbh we aren't up to much, but we're supposedly up to rockets now.

    Is ANU Law any good?

    Thanks :) appreciate it!

    Is ANU Law any good?

    hmm yeah i was assuming that, I'd guess since most people go for science low demand for Law, but the course in itself should be fine since its ANU.

    Is ANU Law any good?

    I wasn't so sure how to look at this, ANU is one of Australia's G8s but it is mainly a science uni, so I was wondering is Law any good there since the cut off is a 96 compared to the typical 99.5's we see in Sydney.
