Actually, I think it WAS influenced by your teachers, or at least your english teacher. That sounds like something straight outta the syllabus... "Students will develop an understanding of the undeniable urge to procrastinate..." I'm sure it's in there somewhere.

That's a damned lie, and you know it! Cheating requires much preparation too. Observe: Here's how I'm going to cheat: Captain Gh3y's Complete Guide To Cheating in the HSC: Aim: To sneak notes into the HSC Exams and 'go to the toilet' whenever you need to refer to them. This allows...

It's a conspiracy! You're one of the feds! The, uh... BoS-Feds. Even though the BoS is run by the state government. THAT'S PART OF THE CONSPIRACY TOO! EVERYONE GET A PROXY, OR SHORTLY A BLACK VAN WILL ARRIVE AT YOUR HOUSE AND THEN YOU'LL NEVER BE HEARD FROM AGAIN!

Motivation Here's some motivation for everyone! IF YOU DON'T GET AT LEAST 95% IN ALL OF YOUR HSC EXAMS, THEN YOU WILL DIE A SLOW TORTUROUS DEATH THAT CONSISTS MAINLY OF LISTENING TO CELINE DION'S DISCOGRAPHY AND BEING FORCED TO DRINK PEPSI MAX UNTIL YOUR INTESTINES BURST! I for one feel...

Does "making violent love" count?

pfft, standard, who cares about that? As long as you get the satisfaction that comes with intellectual property theft, that's all that matters.

You know you've been on BoS too much when you all your essay a thread :p ... (this would have been funnier if the posts were in the right order)

In my ancient history trial someone got accused of cheating (jokingly), at the end of the exam the principal came and made him empty his pockets and take off his socks and shoes.

Wait, what part of esterification needs sodium carbonate or sodium hydrogencarbonate to be used? It couldn't be the catalyst because it's not an acid. Sodium hydrogencarbonate can be an acid, but would it even do what H2SO4 does as a catalyst in esterification? Are you sure you're not...

If the question says "at least one" so you have a choice, the markers are NOT going to discriminate between people who do one or two. If you do one in lots of depth, that's fine. If you two in a little less depth, that's fine. If you do two but don't have that much depth because you don't...

Like everyone else said, it's pretty much up to your interpretation as to what the purpose of a text is, plus if you 'back it up' so to speak, you're not going to be considered "wrong" by the marker. ie. you could write "The purpose of Frost at Midnight is to enrage sensible people with...

I just use a quote everytime I bring up a technique, like say "Coleridge uses imagery, “wander like a breeze by lakes and sandy shores…” But I never actually counted how many quotes I used. For linking, if there's a technique or theme that's similar or common to both texts, when you discuss...

Once there was a little boy named, uh, Johnny. He was a student with no motivation, and he didn't study for his HSC. Then he got a UAI of 60 and had to go to UWS. Don't be like Johnny.

unununium is a fun element name.

I'm pretty sure the syllabus says 'one of' and so you'd have a choice if it were in the HSC. In a dry cell, the cathodic reaction is 2MnO2(s) + 2H+(aq) + 2e- --> Mn2O3 + H2O(l) The alkaline cell uses the OH instead.

Oh, right. Yes. Yes I do.

Ozone is highly reactive compared to oxygen because the co-ordinate covalent bond is much easier to break than oxgen's double bond. Ozone can 'split off' an O atom to react, eg. NO(g) + O3 --> NO2(g) + O2 Whereas with oxygen, the double bond between the 2 O's has to be broken, and this...

Just out of curiosity, What IS the capital, of Assyria?

"Stainless steels all contain at least 10.5% chromium, which gives them a high resistance to corrosion. Chromium forms a thin, invisible, inert film of chromium oxide on the surface of the steel. Any damage to this film is quickly repaired. As the percentage of Chromium increases so does the...

Molybdenum: - Increases strength and hardness at high temp - Increases resistance to corrosion - Makes it easier to weld - Makes it less brittle Molybdenum steel is used in aircraft, vessles for use under high pressure and in car axles.
