    Economic Indicators

    Things like net foreign debt, productivity growth etc. are also useful indicators. With unemployment, its good to also branch out into the different aspects (i.e. what is the youth unemployment rate versus the general etc. to allow you to draw trends and comparisons)

    ATAR estimate please! I'm really worried I won't get into law

    To be perfectly honest, I don't think you'll make comm/law with those ranks, at least not at USyd or UNSW. Your english ranks in themselves will already limit your ATAR given that you're at an 80's school and even though your other marks are theoretically uncapped, things like not doing 4U will...

    HSC Exams vs Trial Exams

    Top schools does not equal hard. On a general level, I would say phys and chem are similar in difficulty but marked harder, 3U is probs a tiny bit harder in HSC and 4U is quite a bit harder in HSC. English you can't tell because it comes down to how your teachers mark rather than the actual...

    Re: Official BOS Trial Examinations: Spring Edition. OMG this sounds fantastic- thanks Carrot for all the effort. I can do any of those days but just in case you didn't know- the HSC starts on the 15th October (with english) so a few people might not want to do it so close to english.

    Perms and combs question

    Yeah but that's his point. You can choose a set of three numbers in 9C3 ways, so that will leave you with the set {1,2,3} and then you can arrange each given set in exactly ONE way were the integers are increasing -> therefore you can choose 9C3 ways of ascending numbers

    Re: The Nonsense Thread You realise for the HSC you'll have to given that you won't know the question right? Like you can get away with a memorised body and stuff, but your intro should specifically address the question on the day

    ATAR estimate

    Fuark- very solid. If I had to make a stab, I'd go on the borderline between 98 and 99 but its really impossible to tell- you could go all the way to .95... Sexy english marks though :)

    ITT we help examine to get 85 in his Maths extension 1 yearlies so he can do 4 unit
