    Choosing Subjects for Year 11 & 12

    I definitely disagree with that.

    Choosing Subjects for Year 11 & 12

    4U maths teaches more physics than physics does, but physics is assumed knowledge for engineering courses. Try to take it if you can, but I doubt you would be at a disadvantage if you didn't.

    Raw Marks Thread

    I think your raw mark may be higher. My 74/100 got aligned to an 83. I'm thinking your raw may be around 85-86.

    When would you start tutoring?

    My post wasn't condescending at all. I was just pointing out the misconception that tutoring is needed for a high ATAR. When OP said that she just finished year 10 and was considering starting tutoring already, it showed me that she believed in this misconception. I was just passing on my...

    When would you start tutoring?

    You can always follow them up about it. Just go see them in your free periods or lunch and get them to through the essay with you. Just remember that they're not gonna make an effort with you if you don't make an effort with them.

    When would you start tutoring?

    This. I always found it stupid that people would go to tutoring, but never speak to their teachers outside of class time. Most teachers are more then happy to mark extra work that you have done. I was amazed at the amount of times my teachers gave up their lunch breaks, or stayed after school to...

    When would you start tutoring?

    But OP hasn't even started prelims, and I think she has the misconception that tutoring is required for a high ATAR, when independent study is more than adequate to gain a high ATAR. Either that, or OP has a lack of confidence in her ability to do well in the subjects she has picked, in which...

    When would you start tutoring?

    How do you know that you will need tutoring? Tutoring isn't a necessity for a high ATAR. If you put in the effort and get good marks, then you won't need tutoring.

    2013–14 Ashes Series

    I love the way Swann put his retirement: "I was desperately hoping to win the Ashes out here again like we did in 2010-11 but with the Ashes gone now in those three Test matches, personally I think to stay on and selfishly play just to experience another Boxing Day Test match and another Sydney...

    Mark Check is it worth it?

    So I just got my physics/chem results check/raw marks back. Apparently a 63 in chem aligned to an 80, and 74 in physics aligned to an 83. WHAT THE FUCK EVEN Aligning for phys/chem was horrible this year :(

    Inequality question

    It comes up in 2U series and sequences, but I think it's pretty rare for the AM-GM inequality to appear outside of 4U.

    2013 HSC Results/ATAR banter!

    Bit late on this one buddy. It's over and done.

    Should I drop ext2?

    I think complex numbers are underrated as a topic in MX2, because they have the ability to be extremely difficult. Plus with the HSC exam new format, there isn't the whole free 15 marks in Q2 of generic basic complex numbers anymore, meaning it's more likely that you will see the harder complex...

    How do you derive this?

    Your teacher probably taught it to you because it isn't a difficult concept, and it can help with some of the nastier 3U differentials, but it is a 4U technique. 3U will never get a question that involves implicit differentiation.

    How do you derive this?

    Yeah the method that asianese showed is implicit differentiation, which only comes up in Extension 2.

    How do you derive this?

    Are you sure that it's Extension 1? It looks more like an Extension 2 question.

    What happened???

    Yeah same. I got fucked over by physics and chem marking. I'm getting them both rechecked just for piece of mind. Don't want to be left wondering if I actually did deserve a B6.
