    How one gets a 99+ Atar

    I holistically agree with Jazz, but I have to bring up an important point elsewhere: I do know someone who was it the bottom 15 at a selective school for maths, english and junior science in yr 10, came out of no where and scored a 99.65 and 97th percentile UCAT. 99 ATARs come in all shapes and...

    How's everyone coping with Year 11 so far?

    From my experience, Yr 11 is a time to refine your study skills. Ideally, by yr 10 you should have gathered an idea of what works for you and what doesn't. So dont stress, but ensure that you are building not only quality content content foundations now, but also solid study foundations. For...

    influence of globalisation and CSR

    wow, my first reply since chem exam in November (HSC)! Thought I would check back to see how the community is doing Funnily enough, I am pre-reading lecture slides on CSR right now (unless there are two different things with the same acronym), so let's see if I can help you break down the q and...

    HSC Marks Thread 2019

    wow ok, I found 2015 much better if I can remember - I guess tomorrow we will all find out, and scaling is based on cohort performance so it is out of our control really Best of luck for tomorrow!

    HSC Marks Thread 2019

    I think it was a fair paper and thus, i'm thinking scaling will be following historical trends On the other hand, almost every person I have spoken to found the paper harder than usual, or on par with 2018/2013 (which I don't completely agree with, although 2019 paper had some harder sections...

    ATAR Estimate Post HSC

    Whilst waiting for my results, and considering HSC is officially over, I would like to gauge where my ATAR will be at (using official NESA ranks) I have based my predictions for my exams published answers for each exam (except modern and english, which were discussed with my teacher) School...

    Mathematics Predictions/Thoughts

    found the paper enjoyable - did all questions but the h=pq one in q15 - was pretty fair and would say it was a bit harder than 2018 - hopefully aiming for 88-92

    Mathematics Predictions/Thoughts

    I hope the last question can be churned out - if it is geometry or probability, I often can be there for 55 hours and still make little progress. For me, q16 is often very hit or miss - 2008-2012 was pretty good, 2013 i found hard, 2014-2016 was good, 2017 was fair, 2018 was challenging for me...

    Why does iron thiocyanate have a colour similar to blood

    It is a complexation reaction between the Fe metal ion and the SCN Ligand - assuming you are in yr 11/new year 12, a ligand is usually a non metal ion/molecule which bonds to a central metal cation in a coordinate covalent bond. Thus, because of the way the SCN and Fe interact to form a unique...

    HSC Standard/Advanced Paper 1 Exam Thoughts

    SMH article - its funny to read the comments and see how people receive the HSC. I often feel as if the large majority of people who comment on the these articles are old people disconnected from the experience of HSC students. Whilst the exams are not meant to be easy and of course, does favour...

    HSC Standard/Advanced Paper 1 Exam Thoughts

    Overall I found the paper fairly enjoyable - Essay was pretty tough as expected (I did 1984 and I feel the question was quite oddly specific for common mod) but the short answers were pre good - the last one was actually interesting - onto Paper 2 now, Mod A and B will be fine, C will be a bit...

    Atar estimate plssss

    I would rather receive a more genuine estimate from a 2016 graduate with a 99.70 ATAR and some HSC experience than a yr.12 student who is 15 days from paper 1.
