    Mathematics Marathon HSC 09

    You found the x value for which lnx/x is a maximum. To find that actual maximum value you need to sub x=e into the original equation. Doing that you get 1/e as required. =) So yes you did it right, but you just didn't finish the question. Make sure you do in the HSC.

    Creative writing - do you title your masterpiece?

    We get told to always use a title. If you finish reading time early you can usually think of one quickly. If not leave it until last, but make sure you have one. One that clearly conveys your ideas about belonging will make sure the marker reads your piece with those ideas in mind

    Australian Science Olympiads

    Got into physics. Got call last week YAY! =) Was it just me, or did the guy who called sound a bit like a pedophile? Also, Gosford High runs lectures for the NQE, so its not just ruse. The exam was easier than most of the past ones I thought... but still obscenely hard.

    Independent Schools Trial Marks

    Got 118/120 =) I was really shocked at how easy it was. The last question was a joke compared to some of the past hsc max & min problems. Mind you, I wouldn't be that disappointed if the HSC was this hard too.
