Re: The Nonsense Thread Nope. I sleep at midnight before every test and then wake up at like five lol to go over stuff again/

Re: The Nonsense Thread inb4 Carrot owns us all for excessive school talk.

Re: The Nonsense Thread Personally, and I know the other two guys in the top three in phys and chem agree- past papers are overrated for the sciences. Once you know your theory, it all comes down to not throwing away marks for stupid stuff and you can practice that without doing a full paper...

Re: The Nonsense Thread Speech day prizes are overrated bro. Its better to be top five in everything than first in something and 10th elsewhere. Haha my retardation is equal 144-x^2 where x is the amount of hours slept (this implies that after 12 hours sleep I have negative retardation and...

Re: MX2 Integration Marathon Oh right- yeah that makes sense. I've seen some things like this- want to learn how to do them sometime.

Re: The Nonsense Thread Crap lol- I REALLY need to sleep. Being sick followed by minimal sleep makes for maths retardation :(- sorry Shadow/realise lol

Re: MX2 Integration Marathon How do you have a definite value for an indefinite integral?

Re: The Nonsense Thread Tbh I didn't study at all in year 10 so don't feel too bad Fawun lol. In year 11 I started studying and then in year 12, BOOM, go all out.

Re: The Nonsense Thread For maths- do you sorta understand most of the concepts? For PD- you don't study.
