    I disagree with Foram's 'reading the textbook that many times that it stores your long-term memory' thing. Definitely go for a more interesting approach to learning the facts and content (e.g. acronyms, tables, diagrams, numbered points, rhymes whatever). *** Repetition is good nonetheless.

    Chemistry trouble

    The basic equations are... Moles of a monatomic (not diatomic or polyatomic e.g. can't be H2, S8 etc) element = [mass of substance (in grams)] / [Ar (the relative atomic mass, see periodic table for atomic mass number)] Moles of a diatomic/polyatomic element/compound (e.g. H2O, P9 etc)...

    What subjects are you thinking of dropping next yr?

    No: up to even 20 is possible if you accelerate subjects and accumulate your HSC over say 3 years. Also, a fair contingent of people do 13 units in year 12 to ensure a subject or two are not counted towards UAI if they are a relatively low mark.

    Synthesis task. I'm confused??

    synthesis = how many different parts combine to form one in your case the themes, techniques, characters/persona/composer and plot combine to shape the journey... P.S as above, try to be specific in your body paragraphs - narrowing it down to one aspect of the journey
