Love your ATAR goal :P

Yeahhh the quote... I think ours was from redgrave and Margaret... Dw. you probably did much better than me (I really messed up module A by only doing about half the question. Like only talking about the context :( ) But don't stress about it. There's nothing you can do now to change your...

Just btw astroman if you haven't found this already BOSTES just uploaded the paper I think either today or yesterday: http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/hsc_exams/2016/exams/2016-hsc-engineering-studies.pdf http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/hsc_exams/2016/ Just in case you haven't found...

Does bournoulli's principle have anything to do with flight or is it just hydraulics? I was thinking pressure and stuff so I might've referenced it in the drone question...

Oh ok, thats good. Oh yeah I'm over analysing. Shear is parallel to the forces which would be in the plane of the circle. LOL. Thanks for your response! Also good to know that it was just single shear.

Man looking at the exam I might've forgotten to include double sheer into my calcs for Question 24 (d). I remember thinking about and I wrote DOUBLE SHEAR on it with a diagram, but I'm not sure if I actually included it into the calculations. Do you reckon I'll lose a mark? Probably will if it's...

I reckon, for 2U at least, that they won't necessarily change the questions TOO much since having access to the formulas actually probably won't help in problem solving. However they will probably take away the ones that are just remembering formulas which generally isn't much of the paper. I...

Wow thanks guys for all your responses! Very helpful!

Can someone explain why the answer is D? This is from the HSC 2013 past paper. 10. A particle is moving along the x-axis. The displacement of the particle at time t seconds is x metres. At a certain time, x{dot} = -3 m s^-1 and x{dot,dot} = 2 m s^-2 Which statement describes the motion...

Yeah I just figured that out just before after doing a quick search online ahaha. I've seen BCC before but never understood what it meant and I guess never remembered it when I was told. Though I might have a slim chance of having guessed that answer, since the term body centered cubic sounds...

I found MC to be the hardest part. Had no clue about the first question...

Also as a side note: Do you think Engineering studies marks quite easily? For example, I'm looking at the 2009 paper marking guidelines and for Question 12 (b) (i) you get 1 mark with "Shows understanding of the concept" and full marks with "Gives correct answer or has a minor error" - like even...

I did the main contrast was the juxtaposition of the last line "Do you want to see silkworms?" to the serious tone in the line before AND to the discovery/reaction of whales that was presented throughout the story. This highlighted the discoveries of the whale boy. I may have also done some...

I think I'm going to use 'Interstellar' By Christopher Nolan for my first related. As a backup I may do an artwork or something. wbu?

How is everybody feelin'?

My teacher said AT LEAST 1 per body paragraph (quote or evidence - such as a scene). In response to the above post (HSC2016_) I think that would be okay but you'd have to be able to talk about the quote in enough detail. Also in response to OP I think that'd be fine if their really short...

hi

Haha I get you man. Sounds like so much effort for a few hours of test; plus what if something occurs where you can't or you feel it wouldn't be that good to put in what you memorised? And you feel like adapting would be too hard/waste of time? Then the whole memorised essay goes to waste :S I...

I can understand both points of views. Memorising may be easier for those who want an idea of what they want to write about and so they can feel more confident whilst entering the exam. Also they can probably adjust some words on the spot so that they can address the question by doing this. It...
