I assume it's the former.

To answer the first part, about journalism: you don't specifically need a journalism major to be a journalist. They take different qualifications for different areas - Asian Studies might put you into reporting on Asia, for instance. As long as you can write competently and have expertise on...

There's no difference between combined law and graduate law in terms of material studied, and you'll end up with the same qualifications - B.Comm. and LLB. The only real difference is that the graduate route will take a year longer than the combined route. Graduate law is my strategy as well...

I very much doubt you can combine Advanced degrees in Science and Arts, especially with the crappy new way they've set up Arts Adv. You can possibly draw some science subjects into Arts Adv as Table B units (not sure if it works the other way round, though). Don't quote me on any of that...

Yeah, I'm looking to do the same. (If I get into Law, which I doubt, but hopefully I can transfer from Arts into Arts/Law after a year.) Not sure if I'll major in IR, though - I might do a minor in it.

I think I heard someone say that you could make an FOI request to get your original paper back in the HSC, so presumably that would apply to the SC as well. You'd have to pay a fee, though, and I don't know why you'd bother.

But there were different amounts with different concentrations. I think the way to do it was to work out how much of what substance would remain in excess once the neutralisation reaction completed, and then figure out what that made the pH.

It asked for the result in mg/L. Don't worry if you only put it in mol/L, it'll probably only lose you a mark. 387mg/L sounds familiar to me. I think that's what I got.

For major works, think through bits of history you know about - from your Y11 history, maybe (although bear in mind that your project cannot have a significant overlap with Y11 or Y12 Modern, Ancient or Extension units you're doing) or from Y8 history, or your own knowledge. Which periods or...

You get pH 2 if you worked out the pH straight after figuring out the HCl that remained in excess, which was about 0.0098 mol. However, you needed concentration, and that value is just 0.0098 mol / 70mL. You had to convert that to mol/L, which came to about 0.14, I think. That gave you pH ~0.85...

I wrote 6ish for all of them, and I was pretty happy (except for my personality B question, in which I rambled a bit). I made all the points I needed to make. If anyone's interested (which, let's face it, is doubtful) I normally write roughly 11 words per line.

I don't do 4U, and I thought I went pretty well. I mean, probably only around 60% raw (probably lower, maybe 57, 58) but considering that I was expecting to fail like I did the trial I'm really, really happy about that. Some of the questions that looked hard at first (like 1d and 1e) were...

Anyone do China as their country? It's one of the less popular ones, which is a shame because this year the questions were very straightforward. As expected, one was on the Nationalist decade and one was on peasant communism. I thought that 'impact' of Maoism was a bit tricky in a sense, but...

Zhu De. I didn't think that the second question suited him very well, as we hadn't really looked at historical assessments of him much. I just talked about how it seems that a communist propaganda machine has mythologised him (which was essentially lifted straight from what I said in our...

Battle of the Atlantic allowed Britain to remain in the war by preventing the Germans from blocking its food supplies - it was a close-run thing, at one point there was only about two weeks' supply of grain left. Churchill said that the U-boat threat was the only thing that really scared him...

How come everyone gets to do interesting case studies? We did Churchill, which I think is like hell on earth. God, I wish I could've done Spain and the Aztecs or Rome and the Provinces.

Only when it specifically asks for area. It's a formula for estimating the value of an integration. The question said 'evaluate', so you don't use absolute values. It's like doing evaluating a definite integral.

Some advice for new Hist Ext people: when you're doing your major work, keep your log up to date. You have not known hell until you've sat at your desk for three hours the night before your project is due, having just spent several hours driving in and out of the city, forging three months'...

Yes. It's your HSC mark, which is the average of your moderated assessment mark and your aligned exam mark.

Band 6 is not the top 10% of students. There's no preset number of students who make a particular band. The band you are placed in depends entirely on how well you meet the performance descriptors for the course, as in assessment tasks.
