    Ok. Here's what you do. Reading time starts- look at essay and creative questions and mentally plan them both out. You said creative is your weakest- HERE work out what you are going to do. Then begin reading the comprehension texts and the questions so you know how to answer them. Now how to...

    Theoretical ATAR help

    Tbh, I wouldn't give 99.4 for the first case. I'd probs sit on just 99, maybe a tiny bit below.

    That wouldn't affect it that much. Maybe 96, 97?

    Theoretical ATAR help

    Nah this is pretty common (at least at selective schools so I'm assuming the scenario that brought it about is the same). There will be at least two of them that are good at maths. Sy just made more sillies in 3U which cost the rank (and I'm assuming both of your raws in 3U are easily above...

    Re: Math help (Because Carrot made me do this) ^I don't get how Gauss' proof of FTA versus modern proof techniques has anything to do with Fawun's situation... Explain?

    I'll try and get our school's paper for you. Tbh though, the new format is overrated imo. It still tests your maths ability etc.- practicing previous papers would be almost the same in my opinion.

    Math help

    Re: Math help (Because Carrot made me do this) Its not hard- add ordinates. Fawun, I'll try and find a website that explains it because I honestly don't know how to explain it online. Absolute worst case if no one can help you get it, I might be able to do one arvo at a library or something if...

    Drop to Standard because of the workload?

    Please see: http://community.boredofstudies.org/showthread.php?t=289646. Standard isn't that much easier than advanced. If you're getting 55 in advanced, you won't magically go to 70 just because you're doing standard

    No that's my point lol- I do memorise it, I just kept using it wrong haha. I don't even know how to derive that one- maybe I could if I had to but I've never tried it.

    Haha I remember in one of our 3U tests, I kept using this formula wrong and kept getting the wrong answer. So I had to get the points, find the equation of the bisector, find point of intersection and then use ordinary distance formula to get the answer. 5 seconds later I realised what I was...

    It might not have been that one then but I think it was- it was hard in the test imo. There were a lot of questions that seemed easier than they were but yeah, its not that difficult. Try it.

    Just break her arm before the test=win And loling hard at some of the mark differentials between 1st and 2nd haha. Only time I've ever been outright first in a maths test was 65/66 in prelim 3U yearly and then 2nd got 64/66 lol. At least the average was around fail so I was very happy
