50? It depends- I'm a bit inconsistent- sometimes I only get like 5 but if you get into a rhythm- around that. Not sure why I can't do more though- its the same thing over and over but I've never gotten much higher than that

One of my friends got like 85 in english and got 99.55 ATAR... Though if he had done better in english, he would have hit high 99's easily

Look at the harmonic series (particularly the comparison test under the divergence heading): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_series_(mathematics)

I'm very impressed. That works- very solid stuff bro!

How's you guys get those? I got a few different ones but again nothing in the answers :(

No idea. That's why it sucks- someone asked me and a few others and no one has any idea what is going on with this puzzle. I reckon if you find a pattern, even if it doesn't work diagonally- stuff it- I'll take it haha

Oh right haha sorry- that's why the magic square had a question mark after it. I tried all the obvious things (adding, multiplying, adding digits etc.) and none worked but I didn't know what to call it so I called it magic square? because it sorta looks like one.

Whoops sorry. Is that better? Is there a way of putting a table in here?

Hey guys- Ok someone sent me this question and I'm stumped. Apparently the answer is 18 but not 100% sure. Either way, if anyone could give me a reason why the answer is 18 (or any of the other options), that would be amazing. Cheers =) Question: What is the most likely number needed to...

Re: The p00n thread You would be surprised how well you can do at English whilst having minimal idea of what is going on... And rivalry- ill answer your pm tonight- soz was a bit busy earlier

Definitely the latter. I won't lie and say that everyone can get 98 in MX2 if they work heaps hard but definitely- hard work is the main ingredient. I think you'll be fine. Good luck!

About all this thinking stuff- I would say 2012 HSC required quite a lot of thinking. The two satellites question with geostationary orbit one is all thinking, the projectile was very hard by physics standards and that electricity distribution was a nice question imo

re: HSC Chemistry Marathon Archive It forms what's known as a co-ordinate covalent bond. I think you do this in module 3.

Tbh I don't think stress is that related to your course aim- stress is a very individual thing from what I've noticed. I know a lot of meddies and laws who never really got that stressed but others who were going for courses with lower cut-offs and were heaps stressed. Obviously things like med...

I disagree very strongly with the need to study 24/7 and not do anything else in life. From my experiences with everything, those with the very top marks weren't the ones who did nothing but study and I think this is because doing other things helps you focus more, clears your brain etc (plus it...

This. I think the acceptance forms for most scholarships were sent on Friday. If you were meant to get one but didn't receive one- check firstly that you aren't using a different email and then maybe ask?

I know its been said in this thread a lot of times but just to clarify for the final time- I know a LOT of 99.95'ers who slept 7+ hours a night. You don't need to limit yourself for sleep in order to get good marks.

Don't do allnighters. You'll be way too tired to focus. You've got a lot of time until assignments- just prioritise and don't waste time on random stuff that isn't helpful and you'll be sweet. More generally, I recommend getting regular sleep- I never did an all-nighter during year 12. I would...

Hahaha I've done this question before (its either past HSC or in Terry Lee) but they led you through it massively. William's point of using the roots of z^7-1=0 is right I think. I'll try find the exact question).

Talent 100 is a similar rate (well at entry level anyway- not sure what happens if you've been there for a while). Another thing to consider is that it isn't just about the money. Like say for me, ok I can charge more for private than tutoring colleges would pay me but I do both because I like...
