    Split ln(x^2-1) into ln(x-1)(x+1) and then to ln(x-1)+ln(x+1). Now use I.B.P

    i have absolutely no nervousness when doing exams now

    Isn't that good? I feel the same way- its useful because you can concentrate in the exam. Stress doesn't achieve much imo but if you think its a hindrance and you want tips on how to become stressed, I can help with that :P

    Story idea:

    This. Think circular narratives, think exciting, think realistic. Think something that when the marker reads it they're like "This is actually worth reading"

    Past hsc Multiple choice question

    The CPI will always tend to increase over time in a normal economy (i.e. that doesn't have inflation). The inflation rate only increases if the percentage increase of the CPI in the second year is greater than the percentage increase in the first year

    Past hsc Multiple choice question

    Well, the inflation rate from Year 1 to year 2 is (130-120)/120=8.3% whilst from Year 2 to Year 3 it is (135-130)/130=3.8% -> Therefore lower

    What's the difference between aligning and scaling?

    You put your aligned marks into a calculator. The UAC though has access to your raw marks and calculates directly from these.

    Past hsc Multiple choice question

    I'm assuming you understand where the inflation bit comes from so I won't explain that. The import price index, as well as the terms of trade, is something a lot of people misunderstand. It measures the relative PRICES of imports and exports, not neccessarily their volumes or whether our trade...

    Year 12 2012 Chit Chat Thread

    This is good. I wasn't stressed over my trials either- tbh I thought they were overrated personally. If you're not stressed, than to me that suggests you know your stuff.

    Need help from Year 11, 12 students or higher (about subject selection)

    If you like business, maybe look at economics as well? There are no prerequisite subjects for accounting at uni I don't think so pick subjects that you are good at/will enjoy. Say the sciences, do you hate them?

    What's the difference between aligning and scaling?

    Yeah everyone has explained it pretty much but something to note is that scaled marks aren't calculated from HSC marks but from raw marks. So you have: ALIGNING (By BOS) Raw mark >> HSC aligned mark (B6, B5 etc.) SCALED (By UAC) Raw mark >> Scaled mark (which you'll never find out) Its not an...

    Where do you collect your data/economic commentary from?

    Depends realistically on how high you are aiming. For a decent performance, you'd want to know current indicators in Aust and trends such as eco growth, unemployment, CAD etc. To penetrate very high B6, you want stats for everything literally. The first topic is called The Global Economy and...

    Story idea:

    Tbh, they're all cliche. Since you're in year 11, you have a lot of time to actually think of a FANTASTIC idea. Anything with school etc. has been done to death. Make it exciting.

    can i repeat year 11 ?

    Yeah if you want I think. Try talking to your principal maybe

    can i repeat year 11 ?

    No it most definitely will not. Employers don't give a shit about your year 11 report, tbh they couldn't even care less about your ATAR. Once your at uni, its your uni marks + your extracirriculars (leadership etc.) that they care about and once you've got a job, even your uni marks become...

    Independent 2012 Trial

    I don't think independent has to be sat on a specific date- just a period. Its possible that our school just stole the essay questions and wrote the rest of the paper, idk. But yeah, its wierd and if I knew...
