    Tutoring in Ancient History, Extension History, and Latin

    This guy is quite good. I worked closely with him in the lead up to the 2008 HSC in History Extension, and he has a fairly extensive knowledge of both parts of the History Extension syllabus. Also, he has a firm grounding in Ancient History, demonstrated by the spohistication of his discussions...

    Indices trouble

    (3^2n x 25^2n-1) / (15^n-1) = (3^2n x 5^(4n-2) / ((3x5)^n-1) = (3^2n x 5^(4n-2) / ((3^n-1) x (5^n-1)) = (3^n+1) x (5^3n-1) If the working above is not right, you need to apply your index laws to simplify the numbers down to 3s and 5s, before cancelling. I hope I'm right...

    PHYS1001 or PHYS1901

    How much harder is PHYS1901 than PHYS1001? Should I only take PHYS1001, given that I've been given permission to do CHEM1903, and will be doing MATH1901/1902, GRMN1111, and (hopefully) overloading for the TSP showcase?

    How many people get a UAI of 99+?

    You do not necessarily need all band 6s. I've known people to have had 7units of band 6, and they got around 99.55. Another person had 9 units of band 6, and they got 99.3, and somebody who did get the Premier's Award that I knew got a 98.9.

    the first point

    It's fairly common to do Chemists that work with making soaps, then you have tests and principles like saponification and pH balancing. It also gives u a bit of a headstart if u do Industrial Chemistry as well, cos u do Saponification in a fair amount of depth

    subjects u did which didnt count, did u regret doing it?

    I did 3Units of history, none of them counted. No regrets with doing Modern, although I think I shoulda kept English Extension instead... Ah well, no point in regretting what u can't change

    Looking forward to the future... But struggling to survive the present. Anyone else?

    The year will go faster as you head into June. With assessments, trials and uni info coming out, July and August goes fairly quickly Then theres the final revision of September and constant study in October, you really lose track of time. Then there's 4 months where you'll get fairly bored...

    UAI help.

    The school you go to means nothing if u want a high UAI. I went to a lowly public school, and there were 4 of us getting over 98.5. U just need 2 put hard work in2 it and u'll b fine

    How do u get a high band 6 in extension maths?

    A timing strategy is also important. While I didn't get a high E4, it is important to allocate your time properly so u can actually attempt the harder q8. Silly mistakes r a fact of life, u just have 2 try 2 make as few as possible!

    Why do so many people boast about their UAI?

    People who got high uais should b allowed 2 boast 4 a bit cos it is a well deserved effort 4 a year of hardwork and having a fairly small social life. Just let every1 who wants 2 boast about their UAI boast about it 4 a few weeks. Let's face it, by the middle of next year, nobody is really...

    Who got jibbed by the Board of Studies in Modern History

    Similar things happened @ our school this year in both Modern and Extension. I think it has 2 do with if ur rank order changes drastically, then the marks scale badly down. 4 extension @ our school, the lowest ranked person in the class got the highest exam mark, so every1 got scaled down...
