    cram for physics?

    BTW I am cramming for Ext. 2 maths and Ext. 1 maths in 3 days, and to me this does not sound like an inappropriate amount of study.

    cram for physics?

    Finally, someone talking some sense! Nine days is plenty. I have six days and I think that it is more than enough. In fact I believe that if you gave me one day I could cover the whole course in ~4 hours. Assuming that you have done work throughout the year, so what you are reading is not...

    Survivor 9 - Vanuatu

    ROFL... just got a flashback to a song that I haven't heard for a very long time. The Tenants- You shit me to tears: ".....I'd love to shove your head into a barbed wire fence, but you'd probably tell me all about it...."

    Co-op and rural scholarships

    You can apply for both scholarships, and if you are good enough to get both, then you can accept both (I think). In the 2005 co-op scholarships booklet it does not say anywhere that you can't accept both. Here are the courses that offer co-op scholarships for 2005: Accounting Actuarial...

    Co-op and rural scholarships

    No, not at all. The fact is a lot apply for the scholarships even though they won't get the marks to get in. I myself could be considered in this category, after all B Commerce was 96 to get in last year and I reckon it is going to raise some more. I might get 96, but I will definately not get...

    john saffran takes on god

    BTW Chris and Craig are good in my opinion, especially their TV shows. CNNNN was great TV and The Chaser Decides brought some humour to the election, which was long overdue.

    john saffran takes on god

    Romour has it Safran will be taking over either Adam and Wil for the morning weekday shifts on JJJ (6-9 am I think) or afternoon shifts, taking over the Today Today boys (2 - 5:30pm). Correct me if I'm wrong on the times. Does anyone know for sure if/what he is taking over on JJJ next year?

    Is anyone else out there doing 4u and finding it bloody hard at this point in time?

    I don't think it could have been just for my particular school, they wouldn't go to that much effort.

    Lactus Rectum

    For a hyperbola, couldn't be bothered doing the working but it would be 2b(e<sup>2</sup> - 1)<sup>1/2</sup>

    Lactus Rectum

    For a parabola, x<sup>2</sup> = 4ay, the y value is a at the points where the latus rectum cuts the curve. So x<sup>2</sup> = 4a<sup>2</sup> x = +/- 2a Therefore length of latus rectum for parabola is 2*2a = 4a For an ellipse, (x<sup>2</sup>/a<sup>2</sup>) + (y<sup>2</sup>/b<sup>2</sup>)...

    BCS Theory

    Talking about phonons is most definately not required. My physics teacher has been on the board to write the physics HSC paper on several occasions, and is a senior marker. Overall, an excellent teacher. He has never talked about phonons at all, in fact the first time I have ever heard of them...

    Main things from 2U

    What about that time payment crap? I realised today that I don't really know that at all, because I was away when we covered it and never bothered to catch up. Is it worth learning it incase it is in the 3-unit exam, even though they haven't had any time payment questions in there for as long as...

    Is anyone else out there doing 4u and finding it bloody hard at this point in time?

    My teacher had the graph, it contained the scaled marks vs raw marks for 3-unit, 2-unit, and General as well as 4-unit. Unfortunately I do not have a copy.

    Co-op and rural scholarships

    Another sponsor cropped up after they awarded out the scholarships and so another lucky candidate was taken, taking the total up to 16.

    Is anyone else out there doing 4u and finding it bloody hard at this point in time?

    I had a look at a graph of Raw marks vs Scaled marks a while ago, and it is pretty motivating. My trial mark for 4u was 60%, and according to the graph that would scale to 46/50, which is 92/100. I know I can most definately get higher than 60% in the HSC, probably more up around 70-80%, so...
