    2015 Latin

    If anybody is yet to hear, Amores 1.15 is not going to be in the HSC this year - it was listed on the syllabus but not the course prescriptions.

    Latin Continuers/Extension Course Questions?

    1) I'm not quite sure what you're asking here - I would think that almost everybody takes it up for the first time in yr7 or 8 and ideally you would know all the grammar by the time you begin prelim. You can't just start doing it in year 11 if that's what you mean. 2) Difficulty depends on your...

    15 Units?

    I do 13 units including latin and latin extension and I don't find that they take up much more time than any other subject - pretty much the only preparation I've been doing for my trials is memorising the translations, and as long as you can do that then your work in class should be enough to...

    2015 Latin

    Good luck if you're still to have them! Yeah it's pretty hard to judge because it all depends on how long the unseens take - the Board of Studies recommends that the 10 mark questions should be "approximately 400 words" (Assessment and Reporting in Latin Continuers Stage 6) so you definitely...

    2015 Latin

    Yeah neither have I, although the texts change so frequently there's probably not many which would be helpful Our trials are in two weeks, we're still on holidays this week though

    2015 Latin

    Yep the Cicero lecture was a complete waste of time, although he did admit that he knows nothing about the HSC. The other 3 sessions were great. Does anybody happen to have a copy of the 2014 Cranbrook trial paper? Our teacher gave it to us with one of the questions removed and hinted it would...

    2015 Latin

    We've done all of Pro Roscio and have 70 or 80 lines of the Aeneid left (we have 2 more weeks of school this term though, I'm not sure if it's the same in NSW) In extension we just have the Propertius left so we'll finish that next week

    2015 Latin

    Anybody going to this latin study day on the 16th of June? 8 of us (3 who do the IB) are coming all the way from Canberra to show off our far superior and exam skills to all you Sydney nerds. Also our teacher showed us this website for anybody who needs scansion practice (which I'm sure is...

    GPE question

    I don't see how B can be the answer: Firstly GPE is always negative and approaches 0 as the distance approaches infinity, as shown in D. Secondly the change in GPE should be greatest when the asteroid is close to the earth. B shows the asteroid having almost no change near earth and quickly...

    Need help with uses of polyethylene and their properties

    Just go through each and see which answers don't make sense: A - plastic bags aren't rigid B - there's no need for food containers to be electrical insulators D - you wouldn't generally need to pass food through a pipe C - you don't want water getting onto electrical cables or them corroding...

    2015 Latin

    2015 Latin

    It's just a toss up between latin, chem, and physics, and chem and physics went pretty well for me in yr11 so I'm not sure. Not quite, Canberra Grammar :( Hmm do you have to talk about the whole of book 12? We've done similar things but only in reference to specific passages. This is the...

    2015 Latin

    Thanks and congrats on the atar!! Don't even think any of my 3 will count but enjoy it too much to drop. Is there any consensus on unseen translation vs english to latin on the last question of the extension exam?

    2015 Latin

    There must be somebody else on here. How's latin treating you? How far through the translations did you get this term? How many people are in your classes? I'm pretty happy holding rank 1 in continuers for now, no extension assessment yet. We have 5 in continuers and 4 in extension...

    First in Course List

    Canberra Grammar student here. They guy who topped chem wasn't even rank 1 in internals. Also we have had some reasonable results before in SDD, chinese, and latin but thanks to english advanced we're well down the tables - a band 6 is so rare that anyone who gets one is revered as a saint.
