    Yep. I bet tomorrow (last day of school before trials), about 30 people will show up.

    UMAT - How many people at your school were away because of it?

    Well we had 116/163 absent yesterday BUT a lot of people are absent simply because trials are next week (like me). Maybe around 60 sat the UMAT?- this is a guess though

    I need help cramming!

    How good is your memory? Get notes off someone else or the net or whatevs and read. Do this for all your subs. By the time you're done, you will have forgotten quite a bit of the earlier stuff. Get someone else's notes and repeat the process. By the time you do this, you will have the course...

    Belonging essay. Urgent!

    Yeah why not? Just treat them as two seperate related texts. Though it looks a bit more sophisticated if you do different text types with your core and related because then the marker thinks you are more adaptable etc.

    Graphing algebraic functions prelim

    Basically, you'll notice that as x gets closer to 1, y gets closer to infinity. So around the point x=1, you can draw the curve going up towards infinity. Do this for the other values. You can enter your curve into wolfram alpha to see what it looks like which should help.

    Graphing algebraic functions prelim

    Draw the asymptotes, take limits as x approaches 1, -1 from both ends + approaching plus/minus infinity to work out what the curve does at these points and connect the dots. Note that the curve passes through y=0 at the point (0,0) even though it is an asymptote

    Belonging section 3

    Yes- it has to be related to belonging. It could be anything though in regards to belonging: its effects, its links, its causes etc.

    Trial HSC worries

    Yeah why not? Tbh, I'm not very stressed. If you know all your stuff and put in your best effort, you shouldn't get too concerned over what others are doing.

    Is 1300 words too long for the belonging creative?

    Yes- way too long - you need to leave time to adapt to the specific stimulus + its probs better to finish the creative in under 40 so you can spend longer on the essay. So unless you can write 1300 words in about 35 minutes after making slight adjustments mentally, its too long

    Skrzynecki For Belonging

    If your school hasn't said otherwise, I'd probs know them all because they could specify- they haven't done so yet in the HSC but they're moving more towards those sorts of things because some schools just teach 2 poems not them all.

    Umat question type

    I'm not doing the UMAT but I love these sorts of questions so I might be able to help- how long should it take to do all three parts? I did them all in about 3-4 mins- is that fast enough?

    Trials Results Equal Bad HSC Mark?

    What is your school rank and your rank in these trials? The tests might have been easy or hard so the actual mark doesn't matter that much.

    Question

    Yes you can get a good ATAR but no I very highly doubt you'll get 99 with those ranks in a school ranked in the 40's - hopefully you can prove us wrong though. Good luck :)

    Monks.

    Wait- so to clarify: Even if they were all placed there on the same day and everyone already knew that there was at least one monk with blue eyes, the process still wouldn't occur until the stranger's words?
