    Help!

    Yeah, thanks = ) Hahahaha, exactly my thoughts! I don't get it.

    Help!

    I did about a week or so before the assessment. But it differed greatly from the final draft and it was answering a fairly different question.

    Help!

    Yeah, I suppose so. That's a good idea, but I really don't want to do it again. I hate exams, not that anyone likes them, but I'd rather get the estimate than do another.

    Help!

    Woah, no way. Yeah, that would be incredibly fair to everyone else. I'd rather have a crap mark than do anything to jeopardise anyone else's HSC.

    Help!

    Hm...I can't really think of a fair outcome. I suppose giving an estimate is the fairest option, but it is by no means fair. So, I have no idea.

    Help!

    Yesterday, the English department lost my English Advanced essay. I asked what would happen if they weren't able to find it and they replied with 'You'll get an estimate'. NO! NO! NO! This is bloody crazy. I'm already sitting just below average and this time I tried really hard to boost my...

    Experiment? C1V1=C2V2

    Yes, you can do a dilution series using the formula. It is simply creating about 4 different solutions of varying concentrations of a substance in a volumetric flask. The easiest solute to use would be with Cu 2+, usually in the form of CuSO4. This is because (as you already would know) it has...

    what is international baccalaureate

    Yeah as Carrotsticks said, it's essentially a program intended for progressive students, in terms of both academics and intellect. You need to apply for it and only a select few schools offer it as part of their course structure. If you have completed this program, write 'yes' or if not write...

    Anyone else doing their trials now??

    NSB had their trials in about Week 7, which is crazy. Don't worry too much about when they are, as everyone in your grade will be in the same boat and only your rank matters. Also, you'll have more time to prepare for the HSC.

    Getting through the period of Trials.

    Yeah, but surely you did not think that when you were doing your HSC. I don't think anything we go through is as bad as it seems, but right now it just seems pretty shit.

    Getting through the period of Trials.

    "The best chance of winning is to not be afraid of losing" < You told me that. I don't think you should let your judgement be clouded by these uncertainties. Honestly, what's the worst that could happen? You're smart and you're willing to work hard and that's going to pay off. Even if it doesn't...

    Validity confusion

    Validity is essentially how well the experiment and the results address your aim. Did the pendulum experiment produce results that determined 'g'? In order to address validity, you need to take into consideration the variables and whether they were kept constant (of course apart from the...

    Which library do you study at?

    Awww. Seriously, you needn't do that. If I'm ever at the library when you are, I'll find you a seat. :D

    Which library do you study at?

    Haha, go to the Sonya Phillips (?) room. I don't think many people know of it, so it's pretty easy to find a spot to study. And it's considerably quieter.

    Quanta Vs Astrophysics REVIEW PLZ

    Not any more so than Ideas to Implementation, right?

    Quanta Vs Astrophysics REVIEW PLZ

    I don't think you should worry too much about scaling. Akin to chem, the marks are scaled based on the difficulty of the subject, so it'll be less likely to attain higher marks in them anyhow. But OP, Quanta is essentially an extension of Ideas. So if you're alright with that topic, you'd do...

    +1 Castle Hill library. Pretty much every day.
