    Section 2 - Creative Writing

    I liked the creative, I didn't intend to use one of my practise responses but the third quote fit it so well that I did. I did directly quote the quote though (instead of just basing the idea around it), hope I don't lose marks for that. :/ Also ended up writing in second person.

    Belonging Essay Question 2013 PREDICTION

    They totally are, there's the Australian community, his family community, the Polish community, the community of migrants... An individual's connection to communities significantly influences their belonging to the groups, places and the larger world. This is apparent in Peter Skryznecki's...

    Are we allowed to use to the same related text twice? like in AOS and mod C?

    My understanding is it is technically against the rules, but there is no way for them to check.

    Physics Question: On Velocity-Wavelength- Frequency

    No but they will usually specify it is in a different medium. In a real exam this question would be about sound waves.

    Physics Question: On Velocity-Wavelength- Frequency

    the answer is 3x10^8 m.s^-1 in the positive direction or something very close to it. In physics exams light always travels at c :)

    Tips for Section 1 ?

    1,3,2 (Because I can usually do section 1 in less than 40 and this lets me time the other two sections better.) Also with section 1 are people doing two techniques or 1 for the two markers?

    speech/interview/feature article -plan?

    Practise writing without something pre-prepared, it allows you to adjust better to the question anyway. (What I have been doing for Creative) That being said its good to have characters, and concepts just not whole stories. For me a speech would depend very much on the question, as I can't...

    Case study

    Hi In the SDD syllabus one of the dot points is: "communicate understanding of a commercial system studied using a case study approach." (In section 9.1.2) Does this mean we could be asked to describe a project we have studied, or is it just referring to where they give you an example of a...

    To synthesise or not to synthesise?

    Hi all I was wondering if people knew whether you would lose marks for having some synthesised paragraphs and some un-synthesised paragraphs. (So for example a paragraph for each text and then one with both texts). Just wondering because I feel it some of my essays they work a lot better...

    How many quotes per comprehension question?

    Hi In the comprehension how many quotes should we use for the two and five mark questions? I noticed in the 2012 paper question a) asks for plural aspects and question b) asks for lines. I would have assumed that this means two quotes, but the notes from the marking centre seem to imply...

    College Interviews - Dress Code

    Thanks. My principal wrote me just under an A4 page and my personal reference wrote about 2/3 of an A4 page. Both had a lot of spacing though. (Nb. I didn't specify a length I just asked them if you would write me a reference.)

    NEED HELP OPTION TOPIC interrelationship of hardware and software

    The value of the exponent is it's value converted to decimal minus 127. This means it has a range from -127 to 128. Otherwise it wouldn't be able to have negative exponents. (It doesn't use sign and modulus). Basically, when converting to IEEE754 add 127. When converting from IEEE754 subtract 127.

    superconductivity - yes there are 10's of threads but this question is different

    The messiner effect is cause by currents in the superconductor making it act like a solenoid, but this is not induced by the movement of the magnet. Basically the model in the physics syllabus for how Eddy currents are induced doesn't work in superconductors. Also interesting fact, but the...

    College Interviews - Dress Code

    Hi I got offered an interview at the Kensigton Colleges and I was wondering if anyone knew what type of dress code it was for interviews. Like is it very formal suite and tie, or would a short sleeve button up shirt be ok? I might be doing the interview over Skype. Thanks for any help
