    General thoughts: Maths SC

    I feel the same way...i'm in advanced maths, but i suck at basic skills and can't do anything unless i spend the week before memrizing how to do it! I guessed some of the multiple choices and i didnt know how to do some of the stuff from the writing section. Most people in my grade said they...

    General thoughts: Geography SC

    I was thrown a bit by the extended response. it said discuss the population trends, which was fine, but then it went on to say talk about urban planning and ecological sustainability?? I knew how to answer it, but there was a whole bit i had planned about the ageing population which i wasnt sure...

    General thoughts: History SC

    General Thoughts: Science SC

    Re: Science SC I hated this exam. It was so skills based....all the content i studied wasn't in it, or if it was, it was used up in multiple chocie. So much of the exam was just source material and then writing from the top of my head. Oh and what the hell is a crucible? I pulled that one from...

    English Writing Tasks

    I think i did pretty well in the speech, but i made the most ridiculous mistake on the news report. I completley missed where it said write a report about 'Morgan' high school (even though it was written in big block letters), and decided to write about MY school. Ahaha my marker is just going...

    Geo: Research Action Plan + Trade

    i'm not sure about the 15 steps...i know our school made us learn eight though. they were: 1. Aim of the investigation 2. Focus questions- developing a set of questions that will help you to gather information about the issue. 3. Primary / Secondary Data- working out which questions need...

    geo help

    I think you would only ever be asked to write in detail about one of them...., although some of the others may come up in multiple choice.

    history help- 2001 sct

    I'm fairly certain that this is no longer a part of the current history syllabus. That being said, you may get a question that is 'similar' in the section relating to Australia as a global citizen in the post war period. If you did, you could talk about how Australia's main trading partner...

    Suggest a Course

    Speaking to a friend who has decided to drop out next year, she explained that her reaosn for leaving was because the hsc didn't offer many courses that interested her. So if you could include any course in the HSC what would it be? Personally, I've always thought a course in politics or...

    What do you think you're going to get in SC?

    lol our school did exactly the same for the multiple choice section of science. I'm hoping to get band 6's for everything...except maths that is.

    difference between catholic schools and public schools

    I don't even know what a vector line is! I go to a comprehensive high school and there is a real mix between quality teachers and dodgy ones. For example, my english teacher doesn't deserve his pay packet: i have done zero work over the past two years and have learnt nothing. However, people at...

    HELP IN Studying for "GEOGRAPHY/HISTORY"

    For history I have a technique that i use, where i type up a set of focus questions that i need to know, just basics like "What year was the petrov affair?" etc etc,a nd then print it off and see which ones i can answer. This helps me to remember the small details like dates, people names etc...

    text types and structure?

    I'm not sure about websites...but there are certain books you can buy that have a full breakdown of all the text types, their structure, and how to write them. I have 'English Workbook- Essential Skills', which is from excel, and costs about $15 from dymocks / angus & robertson. If you don't...

    school chaplain

    I think that if parents wanted their children to recieve spiritual advice then they would send them to a religious school. Why do school's need chaplains? why not increase funding for school counsellors for example? Our school can only afford to pay a school counsellor two days a week or...
