    Maths in Adv. Science?

    I spoke to a friend and they said that if I were to do Advanced Science, all the maths units I would be required to take are of a 4 unit standard. I only did 3 unit Maths, so would it be better if I did a bridging course or would it be possible to learn everything during the course itself? Thanks!

    Another Paper 1 Question.

    What order is it best to do the sections in? My class teacher said to do sections 3 then 2 then 1. However, it really didn't work out well for me in the trials for lack of time management. So, what do you guys suggest? Does it really matter or should I just go in sequential order?

    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...

Even if he attained a really high mark in the trials and the actual HSC exams, it would not be enough right...

    Physics practical assessment.

    I have a physics practical assessment for Motors and Generators next week. However, we haven't conducted any practicals in class, bar one, which our teacher simply demonstrated. I don't know what to do, our theory is only worth about 2% of the final HSC mark, which is disconcerting as the prac...

    Related text choice for 'Navigating the Global'?

    I have just found a related text for the topic 'Navigating the Global', it is a song and its corresponding music video. I think the cinematography, lyrics and everything are nothing short of brilliant. It actually made me laugh because it got across more in 3 and a half minutes, with such...

    Waste of potential?

    I am in year 11 and just recently received an ATAR estimate for my performance so far in the year. It was above a 98 which came as a bit of a surprise really because I did not try as hard as I ought have. We also had to talk to some career advisers about our future prospects and I was thinking...

    Extensions on Assessments?

    I was diagnosed with clinical depression not too long ago and it has now begun to affect seemingly everything. I can't concentrate, stay idle without anxiety building up and essentially feel like crap every waking moment, I sometimes also stay at home for days at a time doing nothing. I have...

    ACER HAST test?
