    Interested in Trial Scores in Area 2166

    Well I go to Pats and I've only had one exam back, CSSA Business Studies - 95% - that was the top mark, but a few kids broke the 90 barrier. Also I know for 2U maths (which I don't do) - the highest was 118/120 I think? A few of the Year 11 Accelerated kids got 116/120. A friend of mine got...

    Trial HSC results?

    CSSA Business Studies - 95% Only lost 1 mark in multiple choice, full marks in everything except for one of my report - lost 4 marks because I think I didn't go in depth enough :(

    Binomial Probability

    Hey guys, I'm having a bit of trouble interpreting the last part of this question. Fitzpatrick (3u) - Ex. 29b. q. 6 part iii. It is known that in the long run 7 out of 10 students of Year 12 will enter university. Assuming a binomial distribution, find the probability that out of a group of 5...

    PAL College Cabramatta INSIGHT?

    Firstly, I've never criticised Pal College's method of teaching - I just said it would feel more as a tuition not as a school - which I still stand by. Whether that's what you're looking for, really depends on the individual. Also with your blatant attack on Patrician Brothers' College - that's...

    integration for projectile motion?

    But the equations leave room for error in my opinion. I find if you have a strong foundation of maths, that integration is the way to go.

    integration for projectile motion?

    Hey there, I don't think you can. In the syllabus it specifies that students solve problems and analyse information to calculate the actual velocity of a projectile from its horizontal and vertical components using the projectile motion formulas. Sometimes if I'm really unsure, I use 3u...

    2009 Trial HSC Exams Discussion

    Ib???

    International Baccalaureate (IB) It's an alternative to the HSC. Instead of doing courses set by the Board of Studies, they do different courses and get marked differently. Only a few schools in Australia offer it - mainly the private schools like Trinity, Newington etc.

    3U CSSA Trial

    It was a typical induction question, think it was RTP: 3^3m + 2^m+2 is divisible by 5. Don't quote me on that though - I might be wrong. To solve it you'd have to just go through the process of induction, and in the third step you used your assumption in step 2, manipulated the indicies and...

    What Did People Think Of CSSA Business exam ?

    I had a lot of time on my hands, so I went through each method of expansion, discussed each one in a seperate paragraph, followed by a paragraph linked to my case study. Then I defined the influences briefly and how each method of expansion (if applicable to that objective) assisted in achieving...

    Thoughts on Business Study Trial Exam

    What I do is I go through the syllabus and I make sure I remember each point. Business Studies is a subject where you can make up detail, but you need to have the correct terms specified in the syllabus - like for example skills of management, you would have to put stuff like teamwork, strategic...

    Working Capital Equation ?

    Actually, I think that it really depends on the wording of the question. If it specifically asks for 'working capital' - do CA-CL, however if it's worded something along the lines of 'calculate the liquidity' or 'find the working capital ratio', or they give you the industry average in ratio...

    Would you fail the HSC without BOS

    I rely on my textbooks, not on the resources of this forum. So it wouldn't make that much of a difference.

    3U CSSA Trial

    I remember getting something like that Yeah I expanded using normal double angle and simplified. At first I tried changing to sin and cos but that screwed me over, so I ended up playing with just tans and i got it.

    3U CSSA Trial

    Mods will probably delete this... but I made it all in terms of 2^n and 3^n and a lot should all cancel out and I think I got what the guy above me got. Seriously, I can't remember any of my answers!

    3U CSSA Trial

    Yeah it wasn't as bad as last years I don't think. I had a can of V before the exam and I was full rushing and I didnt think properly for the first half an hour, so at first I was like 'oh shit', but once I calmed down, I got all the questions out except for the last bit of the projectiles. Ahh...

    for those doing business, why did you choose it?

    Most asians don't do business studies. They do 4u + phys + chem and maybe eco.
