I'm sure this thread has been made before, but I'll ask again anyway... This specifically concerns engineering. How significantly does having two degrees affect employability and career progression? Is it better to pursue a masters degree instead?

It depends on the strength of the cohort. I was about 40th out of 110 students, averaging about 80% and I still got a 91 assessment mark. You should look at how many band 6s your school normally gets and see if your rank falls in that range.

What, specifically, constitutes a 'diagnostic test' in module 8? Is it just precipitation reactions and flame tests or does AAS count as diagnostic, even though it's quantitative?

How much did you write for that question?

it depends on what subjects you do

Let's say in a 3 mark question I have a single line at the end in which I (incorrectly) write something like: k/2 = 1/3 k = 1/6 I know that mental arithmetic is critical to mathematics, but is this something that should cause me to lose a whole mark, in an exam that was done under considerable...

A friend of mine did very poorly in his first and second assessments for engineering (bottom third of cohort). He ended up getting a state rank

I've heard from teachers at my school that the new syllabus is easier than the old syllabus. How will this affect alignment and scaling?

Whenever you cant find a technique, just call it imagery.

If you add up the marks you got for all the questions on the exam and it was 59/100, then your ‘exam mark’ would be 85/100.

Not directly

But if people did worse on average, wouldn't that lower the B6 cutoff?

I would recommend the New Senior Mathematics textbooks for both ext 1 and ext 2 because they offer more challenging questions than maths in focus. Cambridge ext 1 is useful, but the ext 2 textbook has far too many questions that are beyond the difficulty of what we can expect from the actual HSC.

MrSir, do you have notes on 1984?

3 is ethene because it undergoes addition polymerisation to form polyethylene, hence process 2 must be dehydration (alcohol + strong acid --> alkene). 4 is halogenation (Br2 is reacted) and 5 is ethane as it is a hydrogenation reaction. 2-chloro-2-methylpentane should form 2-methylpentan-2-ol...

I am writing some contextual preamble for an assignment on texts and human experiences and I was wondering, how would you describe Orwell's zeitgeist. Of course, there are things like the soviet union and such, but what else was going on in the late 1940s that is pertinent to a discussion about...

High 40s I'd say

What do you estimate for externals?

Does anyone have notes on human experiences in 1984?

My school used maths in focus for 3u and I found it to be quite useful (mainly for explanations and examples, rather than lots of difficult questions), although for year 12 you should consider more rigorous textbooks such as new senior maths or Cambridge. They have far more challenging questions...
