    ATAR estimate please! (Very detailed info provided) - UPDATED

    Re: ATAR estimate please! (Very detailed info provided) I mean student's rank; when ranked 1, the strength of the cohort is less relevant but still counts towards alignment. (I don't think his mark is affected though). The school rank is pretty good.

    Decomposition reaction

    Another example MgSO4 -> MgO + SO3 or 2MgSO4 -> 2MgO + O2 + 2SO2 Pretty much the decomposition tends to form stable substances. Your second example is not balanced. but if it was the thing to consider, that elements with valency + 1 are likely to easily bond with elements with valency...

    Hey everyone, in need of some advice for subjects next year :) Please help

    Definitely, drop Society & Culture. In that case you will only need to take up any subjects then, as you will have 10 units. But taking up both EE1 and History Extension. then consider dropping 2 units a bit later, once you know you can handle both HEX and EE1.

    ATAR estimate please! (Very detailed info provided) - UPDATED

    Re: ATAR estimate please! (Very detailed info provided) I think it would be closer to 98.90-99.00 ish simply because ranking first in ext 2 does really well. Cohort seems reasonably strong for other subjects.

For science subjects, understanding key concepts, as assumed. For humanities, not so sure. For languages, you are assessed on...

    Trial Question Help

    $Consider what happens when $ n=1, n=2. $ \newline You notice that as n becomes really large, you get a really small wedge. \newline It becomes intuitively obvious (and one can show by integration), that rotation of the area between $ y=x $ and $ y=x^5 $ is the same as that for adding the one...

    help pls what is the best length for an essay

    You would probably need about 4 pages, 1 introduction, 3-4 body paragraphs (about 3/4 pages, depends on size of writing), and a conclusion. The only difference is the section 1 question, only needs to be a page and a half worth; while section 3 is the same length as the essays in paper 2...

    Mark Discrepancies

    I think you find with English it is really depends on the markers. The thing that has to stand out is your introduction and the general flow of your essay. I wouldn't be worried too much, maybe ask for some feedback from the teacher that gave you 17; to get a range of opinions. The other thing...

    Handling workload in the holidays

    the other thing is not to let this thought get to your head. It is not that significant if you don't get everything exactly how it should be, it is a part of life. I think if you commit most of each week to studying then it should be good, but take a day off (typically most people take a Sunday...
