    Tighter security during exams??!!

    I just carry in all my stuff by hand and then dump it on my desk. Its funny when I go overboard because then I'm carrying about 7 pens, 2 pencils, a rubber, two calculators and a ruler up to my desk.

    Tighter security during exams??!!

    I don't full body searches are neccessary. There should however be more teachers in exams and enforce penalties more seriously. If you are caught cheating in any section of a test, you should instantly get 0 for the whole test, none of this lose X% crap that some schools have.

    Note, a black hole does not have an infinite mass or infinite density. It just has to have a high enough mass to make the escape velocity greater than c.

    Re: What do you think is the 'BEST' job/carerr to do when you finish Uni or High Scho What are you interested in? Personally, I'm fascinating by both business and law so something like corporate law would be perfect.

    Years 9 & 10 2012 Chit Chat Thread

    At the start of Year 11, I couldn't properly tell you the difference between an ionic bond and a covalent bond. In year 11, I came 4th in chem and now I'm coming first in Year 12. This is at a selective school. Moral of the story, they teach you everything you need for chem in year 11. Having...

    Is there a way to check your tutorial attendance record?

    How long do tutes go for? If you rock up an hour late, do you still have time to do anything?

    Australia's Current External Position

    There are a lot of links between the categories. The level of foreign debt for example is linked with the fact that we have run current account deficits for decades. It would probably be easiest to treat them relatively seperately but integrate if the oppurtunity comes up. For example, speak...

    What is the Difference Between Medicine in UNSW and UWS?

    For the past few years, the median ATAR that got into UNSW med was 99.60. The 96 thing requires a perfect score in UMAT (raw score) not even 100th percentile.

    Trouble with Locus questions in Conics

    Yeah. It's not really that hard. Basically you just need to look at the x and y values and look to see how you can eliminate the parameters.

    Is there a way to check your tutorial attendance record?

    Wouldn't you know if you've missed more than two tutes? Follow this procedure: 1. Have I been to every tute. If yes, go to step 3. If not, go to step 2. 2. Have I only missed one tute. If yes, go to step 3, If not, go to step 4. 3. You haven't missed 2 yet. Well done :) 4. You've missed at...

    How much hours are you studying a day?

    A comment on concentration- Too many people focus on time spent studying, instead of goals. This is bad for two reasons: 1. Work expands to fit the time allocated. Thus, you might work slower/less efficiently because you know you have to sit down for X hours. 2. If you become tired, your study...

    Maths in focus

    I know I'm getting back off topic (sorry OP) but I found my yearly exam for eco + my essay on the budget. If you want, I can scan my answers for the short answers + my essay response if you want to see how I answer questions.

    Is it better to do 2U and 4U subjects rather than only one extension?

    This is an example of mistaking cause and effect. For example, it is well known that drowning rates increasing dramatically as ice cream sales increase. Ice cream and drowning have no correlation, but both factors are caused by the onset of summer. Similarly here, people that get 99.95 ATAR tend...

    Maths in focus

    That makes sense... I know with our classes, there are theoretically two equal top classes but our class always beats the other class by a few marks (I'll just take all the credit even though it isn't because of me).
