I'm studying in the US for the next few years, so I had to get a friend over there to help me with it all. The GPA system in America is rather complicated. GPA's can actually go up to 4.5, as students can choose to undertake AP (Advanced Placement) and College-level courses which allow them to...

I did 14 in Prelim: 3U Maths, 3U English, Chemistry, Physics, Modern History and Drama. I dropped Drama in Year 12 and picked up 4U Maths and 4U English. I dropped my fourth unit of maths because I just wasn't good enough at it. I think it's definately doable if you're willing to commit and if...

Exactly. Don't decide on what you want to do so early. You may realise by the end of the year that you suck at one subject you thought that you would be really good at. Or you may just really hate another. Also, I'd seriously consider keeping twelve units. It's a good feeling to know that if...

First up, always try checking the resources page. There is some really, really good stuff on there. I also have posted some of my Journey to the Interior notes in the Stimulus Booklet board. Here is some stuff from my very old, simple essays. Feel free to use my ideas and info, but try to make...

I've never studied the mail service in detail, but I'll have a go at helping anyway. First up, I'd discuss females taking on traditionally male-dominated jobs, as well as the actual mail service. Censorship was also a major issue during World War One. There are plenty of notes out there on...

Check the resources page. There are plenty of notes there and most of them are very useful. Also study from a range of textbooks. Your HSC Modern History textbook should become invaluable throughout your course.

Not for detailed, historical accuracy. For a good, general overview though, yes. For sources, I suggest checking out your library for reference books. Don't just go to your school one either. You're more likely to get more accurate, more detailed and more sophisticated information from your...

Ours was: 1. Evaluate the impact that the major battles along the Western Front had on the development and halting of the progression of the war. 2. Assessing sources provided. Other popular ones include: - impact of the entry of the US - total war - impact of the Battle of the Somme

Seal's Rocks and Forsters for about a week, then road tripping up the coast for about another week. With about 10 mates.

When you start calling each other boyfriend/girlfriend, particularly in front of other people.

Uh, I hate that guy. Fav actor would have to be Ewan McGregor. Fav character... Han Solo. And I shouldn't this be in the Movies forum?

Echoing shinji's statement. Choose the text you feel the most comfortable with, you can draw the most from and perhaps most importantly, the one you enjoy analysing the most. Yes, it is near impossible to enjoy analysing a text, but you'll realise after a few that some are more tedious than...

I used this text for all of my essays, which I'm going to upload to the resources section soon. It's a really, really good text to work with, and isn't used much so gives your essays a little bit of individuality. Anyway, here are the basic notes that I made; look for my essays in the next few...

Two of our formals (Yr 10 and 12) were organised by us. For Year 11 we had our Deb Ball, which the school organised. Year 12's also get to go to the Year 11 Deb. All of our formals were awesome, particularly the Deb that our year went to this year. We had so much more fun than the Year 11's...

Hmm... mine was kind of a gradual, snowballing effect. - In-school suspension for breaking a door off a locker (wasn't my fault... long story) - After-school detention for kicking a soccer ball in an out-of-bounds area... and hitting a junior school teacher in the head. I think that had more...

My God. General Maths.

Electromagnetism is the force observed as static electricity, and causes the flow of electric charge (electric current) in electrical conductors. The magnetic field is produced by the motion of electric charges, i.e. electric current. The magnetic field causes the magnetic force associated with...

And make sure that you have the mass of the water and the specific heat capacity of water in the same units (ie. both in grams or both in kilograms). A lot of people get caught out and end up with a ΔH that is either way to high or way too low.

It depends on whether you want to be challenged or not, and how much work you're prepared to do. If you're gettin 71% in standard, you will have to work a lot harder in advanced to get similar marks. That said, the advanced course will be a lot more interesting for you and you won't stand the...

I did 50:25:25. Related texts should just be used to extend an argument, rather than formulate one.
