    Can i bounce back?

    I'll try to answer all of your questions as best as I can. To answer the title, of course you can. You are in prelim, now is the time to screw up and learn from it. "Should I just move on and start studying now for term 3 exams?" No, this will come back to haunt you. It is IMPERATIVE that you...

    HSC Study Lab: Valuable asset or another uni money grab?

    I've made a post on this previously, but I can't remember where it is. Point is, you can get HSC Study Lab for FREE with a membership to any library. So with that in mind, I would say it is worth it. I use it on the occasion for physics as it is pretty detailed and insightful, and can be a...

    Platnium Inert Electrode

    My friend recently reminded me of this, and it rang some bells from lessons in class when we covered it but I failed to make notes on it. Does anyone know the importance of the Platinum electrode being inert for the purposes of the HSC. How does this change the function of the cell? Thanks

    How to Stop/Reduce the Number of Stupid/Careless Mistakes?

    COmbinations

    ( 9C4 x 5C4 ) / 2 for the first option because you could pick the same teams in different orders. For second q, person A and B can't be together. Assume you have picked person A, and not person B. Therefore ( 7C3 x 5C4 ) / 2 I think those are correct, not entirely sure if you have to...

    failed prelim ext1 maths exam?

    Considering you are in your preliminary year of the HSC, "failing" isn't necessarily a bad thing. Failure is the best teacher, success normally just results in you performing the same thing over because it worked last time, but there is no guarantee that it always win. In regards specifically...

    6 Mark Question

    Comparing polyethylene and polystyrene or PVC etc can be a common 4 marker, if not 5 marks. Calculations involving mass changes or finding the volume of something are typically 3-4 marks as well.

    Is year 12 Hard ?

    Year 12 should technically be the hardest year of your schooling. There are high expectations, and a lot of work is required. However, "hard" is relative, and depends on what you are looking for. If you only want a 60 atar for example, then objectively that is not as hard to achieve as a 99...

    is there any hope to get a 92 atar?

    Yeah Lumenoria and Xionel are correct, use the "bad mark" as motivation to work harder and crush the rest of your legal, eco and pe assessments!
