That question... grrrrrrrrrrr I know difference of two squares, easy! But cubes? I spect 5min choosing random factorisations and expanding them out, to no avail! *screems in frustration* Can someone, please, tell me what x3+27 is factorised?

I know it was pretty much the same question, but did anyone else think it lent itself a whole lot better to Transformations? When I got home and started looking through the paper, that really struck me. I really think the Transformations question was easier that In the Wild. Though it made up...

With the singing, some advice I got at the Discovery Day is if you can sing, pick a song you can perform really well, and who cares about pitch or tone or not breaking the interviewers ears. :D And UTS is University of Technology Sydney. BIT I guess in Bachelor of...??

For telling the truth, it says something like "understanding of events, personalities or situations". So does that mean it would be acceptable to just discuss personalities? Because that's what my supp texts lean towards, and I think I can get a better essay out that way.

Well done! I'm really hoping I get one, but I don't get mail today, so we'll see... :) Same course as you too! We're competeing against each other! Oh no! :D Did it come with a list of the monolouges you can do, or do you get that elsewhere? Because I'm trying to find out, and I'm not sure...

Normally I struggle to finish it 40min, but today i finished with 5 min to spare, which went into my essay! Yayness!

In my practise essays, I was writing 2.5 pages, so I was thrilled with SEVEN PAGES!!! I thought it was great, I loved how broad it was! :D "Na it be finis chilluns! Na ya ken all go home!" to quote one of my quotes... :D My only thing was I did less time on the stim book than the others, and I...

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to incorporate The Real Inspector Hound into a response? The only way I can really think of is to say that some people do not find CF a satisfying genre, and here's why, but when I have 3 other texts that do like CF, it seems a bit wierd. I really want to...

Cool, thanks. How about the deffinition? Because that's something 1st aff HAS to do, but may be a little irrelevent for the essay...

*looks around nervously* ummm... what's gak? Please don't hurt me... :) For the trials I tried to write a deep piece, but it wasn't about death, it was about a tree who suddenly realised he was human! He was pretty scared by that... We were discussing this in class recently, and we...

With that debate question, we did that for the trials, and I'm trying to re do it really well, and then again with a timed response. I've been thinking about the intro, and one thing I got marked down on in modules was not following convention of the form. So does that mean for the debate you...

Silly snowman. One word of advice: Don't bother. Yet. You'll have heaps of oppertunity to get supp texts as you study the stuff. If your school is anything like mine, they'll get you to study HEAPS of other texts, and right now you won't have such a good idea on it. Study prescribed and stim...

I think with poems, if it says that there are several poems that comprise to be your text, you can't just say one poem is my text. If you think of the poems as chapters in a novel, then you wouldn't talk only about one chapter, would you? Try and talk about the poems as a whole, rather than one...

Cool, thanks. And with Orwell, be careful, because 1984 is a set text for powerplay, I think, so that means you probably shouldn't do it, as it looks like you just took something from another module. They can't tell whether you did it or not, so its better to steer clear.

Something I did in the half yearlies, which may help... If you're like me, thinking of a story of an appropriate length is very difficult, and many stories you think of could not be told in 8 pages in an exam. What I did in the halfyearly was exploit "write in any form you choose" and wrote the...

Does it have to be an actual person? Because the way we did it, name a scientist meant in very broad terms. In the trials it said name a chemist and the principal they use, and I said "exochemist, use local resources where possible" with a bit more explaination, and I got i think full marks. I'm...

Everything I read gives me a different deffinition of osmosis. I don't know whether its movement of particles from high conc to low conc, or movement across a semi-permeable membrane, or movement of water, or any combination of these, or something else! Does anyone know what deffinition the...

Based on recent discussions, I was wondering what people thought of my supplementary texts. I'm doing Galax-Arena by Gillian Rubenstein, or failing that, Myst, or failing that, Egyptology. I'm interested in all opinions, including people who say "ugh no" (though its better if you say why!) :)

no, of course not, but it means they won't dismiss it as unworthy, as many people have suggested they would. Also, if markers from my school think that, then it's very likely that markers from other schools will too.

No, you HAVE to do ONE related text, but some people think you're better off doing two related texts. My opinion = greater analysis of one, because there's the booklet text as well.
