    best textbook for physics

    we had the physics contexts, which is pretty good, just burn a copy of the answers to the questions. id combine with the jacaranda, cos it has the prac bits and it gives you page references for the syllabus points, which is soooo handy for summarising. only one person in our class had the...

    Nooby tutors - your thoughts

    sure, im gonna tutor asap...beer money! (not that i actually drink beer) i reckon the age of the tuor depends on subject... like, in english, and older tutor has a better knowledge of a wider range of texts and has had time to accumulate more resources. but for pretty much anything else, as...

    Write OR Type notes? Which is better?

    i did both...write so it sinks in, then type so it sinks in better and you can study it easier...plus its easier to swap...and im a neat freak and liked to co-ordinate all my notes into subject and topic. much easier to do by using new fonts on the puter.

    Why do Girls like Chem ?

    well we had mostly guys in physics and mostly girls in chem...but i like physics heeps betta, and hated every minute of chem (it was an assumed knowledge thing). the thing i found weird wasn't the gender balance, but the fact that our physics class was made up of 50% macca's employees...

    What didn't count for you?

    well i got the same mark for both 3u and chem, and only one unit of chem counted, which is a nice little hint at the scaling!

    regional schools - how did you go?

    how many people are at regional schools and what did you get? im convinced that its virtually impossible to get a SPECTACULAR mark in our damn hick schools. i know its all about individual work, but i'm just trying to get a grasp on what everyone else thinks.

    heeeeeelpppp!!! i need advise

    Well, my uai was 94.5, and although i didnt do 4u, i did 3u, and got 35/50 for both the assesment and exam marks. i also got 2 band 5s and 2 band 6s, so looking at that, as long as you can get band 5 & 6 for the rest of you subjects you are cruisin to a 95. I woulnd repeat it, thats for sure...

    only dot points or more??

    Just the dotpoints is all you have to do, and texbooks are unbeleivably padded out. I did full syllabus summaries for physics, chem and geography and there is so much superfluous shit, its unbelievable. Its useful for geog, in essay questions, but in phys and chem, don't bother knowing...
