    CSSA Economics Trial

    So, how'd you all find it? I thought the entire thing was straightforward. The essays were a blessing, I chose Q25 and Q28 The short answers were straightforward, even if Labour Market isn't a forte of mine. Multiple choice were fine too, though the 1st question made me think for ages...

    B6 Raw Score

    What kind of raw score would one be looking at to achieve a Band 6 in 2U? I'm aware it'd change between HSC papers, but just an educated estimate would suffice. I think I've heard the figure 95 thrown around in previous years, but I'm not sure. Cheers :D

    Incomplete Dominance

    This just popped up in a James Ruse trial paper, and for the life of me I can't remember what it is. I'm sure I've known at some point though :S I assume incomplete dominance occurs when one gene is one allele is not entirely dominant over another allele, while co-dominance occurs when...

    Matrices Question

    I don't do 4U, this is for a friend who needs it desperately for an assessment task. He's doing the VCE, but I was told that Matrices exist in the 4U Maths HSC course. If so: Using a matrix technique find, in terms of k, the function g( x ) which represents the faimily of the quadratic...

    Explain the multiplier effect

    I understand the mulitplier, but I don't know how to phrase an answer to explain the multplier effect. The answer suggested by Leading Edge in our workbook seems to run around in circles a bit, and goes way overboard for a 2 mark question. Anyone have a concise answer?

    Bah!

    My teacher for eco told me my multiple choice result for our pre-halfyearly (still an assessment). I got one wrong apparently, so did my main competitor and friend, but on different questions. Thing is, we have no idea which question(s) we got wrong, they all seemed so *very* *very*...

    The Ranking of Ye School.

    I go to a fairly low ranked school, it was somewhere around the mid 300's when I checked last year. I'm looking for a UAI in the mid to high 90's. A trend I've noticed, whether it's right or not, is that the people who seem to be getting these high 90's UAI's go to well-ranked schools (40+) and...

    Random facts about your stories.

    Well, to get the ball rolling considering this forum seems to have become a bucket of mollasses (you're all off writing I imagine) I figured we'd get around to shedding some information just for the sake of curiosity. And no I'm not sure how to spell 'mollasses'. I don't know if that metaphor...

    Check out a few websites for me.

    I'm fairly new to web design and the like and don't have a registred domain name so I'm hitching a ride on my fathers webspace and utilising a few free hosting companies, so forgive any slowness in load times. From this site URL (Sublime Designs) you should be able to access Gemsce.net, Brennan...

    Teen angst - don't do it!

    About that teen angst thing. Our teacher said not to do it. The Extension Two Seminar Speakers said not to do it. Countless BoredofStudies.org forum members said not to do it. The head teacher of English said not to do it. And blow me down, out of a class of 13 people, 3 people choose teen...

    The Name

    It's safe to say we all want to come up with a name for our MW that is highly original, or encompasses the entire plot, concept or theme, or is witty and satirical, or is metaphorical, or is instantly engaging and exciting. To anyone who can get all of that in a title, well, kudo's to you...

    Does it fit?

    All sexual and weight puns aside, have you guys managed to fit your day's revision/study into a timetable as of yet? I'm struggling to fit 60 minute course study sessions (50mins revision + 10 break/light reading) onto the remainder of my day after school. Say you have 5 subjects in a day...

    Recommendations

    Moving into the HSC year, figured I'd get advice from the people who know what they're talking about. What study materials (and im not just talking about textbooks, any useful media at all is welcome) do you guys recommend for these subjects in particular. Mathematics Economics IPT...

    Organised.

    How are we all organised for the coming year. There's the people with their individual A4 books for each subject, some neatly protected with plastic wrap - others not. There's those people with the ginormous folder containing every possible little scrap of paper and bulging at the seems. There's...

    Decisions

    Hey guys, I have a bit of a dilemma regarding course selection for next year. I go to Castle Hill High School. My english teachers want me to pick up extension 2 english, and to do that id logically drop my poorest course (in terms of exam results) which is physics at the moment, but I'm...
