    How do you stop procrastinating and where do you get your motivation?

    If you have a smartphone, I suggest an app called TED. It's free, and it's filled with some amazing videos about life (and everything in it). Every time I need moar motivation, I browse through the videos and listen to attractive American accents tell me all about beauty and life and space and...

    Thanks guys. (piece-meal functions wut) I'm starting to think I'm going to fail the functions part of my exam.... Horizontal + oblique asymptotes aren't part of 2U, right?

    Maths help please?

    Holy shit you're amazing. In a parabola, there are two arms - if it tells you to state the "largest" domain, does the "largest" refer to the size of x? (i.e. 2<x<4 and 4<6<x - the latter would be "bigger", number-wise?) I can't imagine they'd ask for the bigger arm itself, since the magnitude of...

    Maths help please?

    They're all from 2U papers at my school, I picked out ones I couldn't do. When you say "harder dis/continuous functions", which ones are you exactly on about? I keep losing one, two marks every time a d/r question pops up. ;_;

    Maths help please?

    Thanks guys. I wrote a reply to first post but my net derped on me. ;_; (xy)^(a+2). Can this be split into x^(a+2) * y^(a+2)? Edit: for every x value there's only one y value - doesn't that define all functions though?

    Maths help please?

    1) Factorise: a^2 - b^2 - 3a -3b I keep getting stuck at (a+b)(a-b)-3(a+b), since on the answer sheet, it tells me that from that step, the final answer is (a+b)(a-b)(a-b-3). I don't understand. ;_; Help please? It's a two mark question. 2) If you have 18^(4-n), for example, can you break...

    How are you finding chemistry? New preliminayr students.

    Just curious, did your class go back and cover what you did in Year 10 in Year 11? My Year 10 teacher said that we would, but we didn't, so I struggled quite a bit at the beginning of the year ): Does anyone know when you write risk assessments? My chem class didn't cover anything about it so...

    How do you rate your school?

    Rank: top 5 Teachers: apart from a couple of notoriously *bad* teachers, excellent, so... 9/10? Resources: could be better. seriously. 7/10 Performance: not too bad ;P 9/10 Cohort: top end is tank as usual, but as a whole, a pretty mediocre grade. 7/10 Overall: I used to hate my school, since I...

    When will Ruse's #1 position streak end?

    Baulko has a very strong head, but a long (= weak) tail. I can't see us beating Ruse anytime soon unless we cut our cohort size down from ~200 to 110ish and lessen the gap between the top and the bottom of the grade. We have a few kids who chose Baulko over Ruse back in year 6, but honestly...

    Economics, or English Extension 2?

    This is what I was thinking, but I just wanted some other opinions, especially as the deadlines about changing subjects loom closer. :/ Do you know how economics/EX2 scale though? Talent 100's study guide merely said Advanced English (and higher) and economics scaled well, without further...

    Economics, or English Extension 2?

    This is my last week to decide whether I want to keep economics or pick ancient/modern history. I know economics scales significantly better than either histories, but I'm considering the change seriously because I intend to drop it anyway at the end of Year 11. The reason I can't give myself...

    I tried to reply a "goodnight", but your inbox was full. :( So, a very late good night (not that it's necessary anymore) and once again thank you for the resources! :) Do you happen to have any more preliminary papers for MX1/EX1/physics/chem/eco, or know where I can steal some from? > <...
