    It sounds like you would be better off doing business and eco. Don't take chemistry just for the scaling.

    Does the HSC determine how smart you are. Discuss.

    Nah. It's all about how well you can memorise someone elses essay for english, and how good at english you are for every other subject.

    Can i boost my ranking with obly 10% assessment left?

    Nah probably not. Unless the gap between you and first is very small. But you could still move up a few ranks.

    Is this allowed?

    Yeah it should be allowed, but you have to organise it beforehand. You can't just rock up on the day and say you have a bad back, and expect them to let you have breaks every half hour.

    Craziest/random/wierd things that you have seen happen at school?

    Someone set off a pipe bomb. Or the time we were doing the flame test in chemistry, and someone turned up on shrooms, and he looked like he was having the most amazing time watching all the different colours. Fuckin good times.

    Maths Subject Selection for Senior Years

    Normally I would seriously recommend against doing 3U unless you were doing well in 5.3, but you're nailing 5.2 and taking 5.3 on the side, so it couldn't hurt to pick it up and see what its like. It does have quite a high workload for a 1 unit subject, but for anyone that puts in the effort...

    Year 11 Subject Selection - HSC

    Wut. No they haven't. People may have gotten 99.95 without science, but when you are aiming for an ATAR high enough to get into medicine, scaling definitely has to be considered in your subject choices. A hell of a lot of people that get over 99 do 4U maths, one of the highest scaling subjects...

    Year 11 Subject Selection - HSC

    While I agree with the principle of what you said, if OP wants to go into medicine, then the subjects she should enjoy are also the subjects that would scale up/be prerequisites for medicine (Chem/Bio/Phys/High level maths). Medicine is a VERY intense degree, and if you don't have a passion for...

    Minimum attendance

    Security cameras? What the fuck? We weren't allowed to leave the school, but the only one who enforced that rule was the principal. You knew it was a joke rule when you saw a bunch of head teachers at maccas, and they warned you not to go back to school yet because the principal was out trying...

    You have to do specific heat capacity calculations (ΔH=mCΔT).

    Does the history of chemistry taught in Year 11 matter in Year 12?

    Nah you can forget all that. The stuff you need to know is all the conceptual stuff like mole calculations, chemical bonding etc. My teacher didn't even bother teaching all the historical stuff in year 11.

    Some advice please for 4U

    Still do some HSC 4U papers, especially 2012 and 2013 because of the new format. Do it more for the format and question types and make sure you do it in 3 hours. It will show you how fast you can get through each question so you know if you will have time left over/struggling to finish. Do at...
