you won't be able to 'self learn' the hsc course for physics. In fact you won't be able to self learn any subjects that "should" take 100+ hours over 3 terms in 2 weeks.

They both scale really low and standard english alone is more than likely going to drag your atar down by a lot.

With externals in a month's time... Post what you're doing/planning to do straight before an exam- E.g Stay up late the night before/skip breakfast/read notes until the last minute/relax / sleep in (for those afternoon ones)

As others have said just try to get the best external mark possible. Your assessment mark probably won't be amazing but hope for the best.

TFW you're 2nd in 3U internals by 0.8% ...oh well

not sure if srs

pretty sure our school gives us jerseys in the last term before the hsc rofl

It doesn't say relative to the planet, if the planet is used as the frame of reference then the slingshot effect won't appear to have any effect since it doesn't increase the speed. That's why the speed and direction both change.

What do you mean the velocity changes but the speed remains constant? Assuming these are all relative to the sun, a space probe's velocity increases from the transfer of kinetic energy and momentum from the planet, its direction also changes as it's 'curving' around the planet. Velocity is just...

No you definitely don't For maths what you learn in yr11 should be second nature such as applying differentiation etc. And who writes notes for maths anyway? English- obviously not since none of the texts you do are the same, unless you're planning on reusing a related text for yr12. For...

Does everyone here study Friday and Saturday nights?

yea, definitely not. The guy who came 1st in mx2 in 2014 wasn't ranked 1st at ruse. Something like 4th or 5th. And math is a subject where you'd think internal rankings matter a lot.

The make it up as you go along one.

So is the memorising route the only way to go in english?

Because many teachers don't go into detail for a lot of content and don't explain concepts that well either, especially for math and sciences. Even if you go to a top 10 school with at least decent teachers -if everyone else is getting extra tutoring you don't want to fall behind them (which you...

Are markers even allowed to do that? Obvious bias if they are - maybe appeal to your headmaster. yeah if it's prelim then do it. Tbh personally I would not in the hsc if 1 mark had a significant impact in internal ranks - only because I know people who have received extra marks from counting...

No to your question on if externals are pointless because it is "accommodating for those highly ranked" because it does not work that way. And whether or not you can make a comeback depends: your external performance + your cohort's external performance.

No, because they only "steal" your mark for their moderated internal mark, you keep your external mark. Final hsc mark for your subject will be the average of the two.

It's in the cambridge text book, most schools don't teach it, but you can use it if you want to. Havent seen any 3u questions where implicit was necessary to do it.

b) you can just apply g=Gm/r^2 since you have g from part a)
