Firstly- you have a very good attitude- a lot of people in your situation could easily become complacent and think they are simply the best without accurately being able to tell how they would go against the best in the state. I gauged my ability by looking at my ranks at my selective school-...

Not really sure- for me I never really analysed newspapers for specific topics- I just picked up stuff as I went along. I'll hook you guys up with my stuff when I finish this year so hopefully that'll help a bit

Also speed etc.- special relativity and the like :p Not sure about them (haven't read them properly)- some of their stuff is very good though because I've flicked through what they have for a few things so I'll probs check the rest of them out. And for 95+, yeah you want to have a strong...

Umm nope- personally I never read articles specifically for X section of the course- I'd read the papers just out of habit/interest and just naturally pick up stats and examples etc. The RBA's website has a nice collection of stats and thingos. I hate the layout of ABS so I never use that...

For 4U tbh, the major constraint at the top end isn't the timing but getting out the whole of Q8/Q16 now. As long as they make even just that question very hard, that in itself will limit top marks. I don't think anyone will get 100 raw this year- maybe 98 is first in state? And if multiple...

I sorta hope they specify that we write one of the responses in speech format... (don't think it'll happen though- they're moving away from that sort of thing)

@Rivalry- stuff eco- its in like two weeks lol. And good luck

It's not essential but say I'm reading an article on the carbon tax and the SMH references a Productivity Commission report that says that the carbon tax will have X impact on Australia's economic welfare, then I'll remember that one (don't think this report exists- just an example).

Yeah defs- I don't really bother with the 'latest' stats in Dixon/Riley because even though they are pretty recent, by the time of HSC, they're already one year out of date. The trends are very important but you can get those from the 2012 textbook. I recommend buying Bulmer- that's really up to...

Haha not that good tbh- I haven't worked on it for like two weeks now- need to get on top of it. I need to find a way to make it really engaging and interesting- right now its just got a lot of achievements and stuff in it which isn't exactly what they're looking for.

Doesn't your school buy the new ones? And do you guys use Riley or Dixon?

How are you going now? That will influence what factors you should change and what you should keep.

If school rank is 40's- first in every subject.

Come at me :p

~98 I think.

Our school does Astro and Quanta. Dr. V can teach both, all of the others only do one so if you're in Dr. V's class, you might get to picl

Can you check the question? This doesn't work for n=1,2,3,4,5,7,8...

Yeah personally I liked it as well. Most people hate it though- and Rivalry, if your year is anything like ours- more than 75% of people will have blanked.

:( Trust- it probably wasn't as bad as you thought it was but I hope everything works out bro.

:(. What happened?
