i fell kinda bad for 2027ers if they had a sibling at a selective school.
Our year was the last where, if you're sibling went to one you could go too

I don't think this is true. Both my siblings got into Girraween, but I got a rejection four years in a row. Am I just stupid? Inferior?

maybe you can make it on the fifth attempt

Extmath, advenglish, chem, physic, my home language (not sure tho cus it scales RLLY BAD, 70 becomes a 20) n maybe music? (Im a guitarist) or ancient

hbu?

Lowkey old ass post but you’re probably misunderstanding scaling. A 70 doesn’t become a 20 unless you somehow mean 70/100 hsc goes to 20/100 scaled which is utterly ridiculous

Maybe what they told me was wrong then

WHY U REPLYING TO MY OLD POSTS WE LEAVE THOSE IN THE PAST HELP

Anyways no the scaling for arabic continuers is rlly shit its one of the worst language scalers even my arabic teacher at school said if ur not aiming for 85+ on ur hsc dont do arabic

the highest atar someonee got with arabic continuers was 96.55 in 2024, and ext was a bit worse

you said :
"if you're not aiming for 85+ ATAR, then don't do HSC arabic"

so if we take the contrapositive of this statement which has the same logical value:

"If you do HSC Arabic, then you're aiming for an 85+ ATAR"
Conclusion: Take HSC arabic

ofc I'm only joking

Yeah it scales worse than English standard

 

[Socialism]

why though?????!!

Idk. I thought Arabic was hard

GUYS I NEED HELP WITH SCHRODINGER MODEL @Bendwhat?_over @tigermum111

what i understand so far is that the letter + superscript shows the number of electrons the subshell/orbital thing can hold. the number in front means the group of which the element is in. The order is taken from the periodic table s,s,p,s,p,s,d...


my questions
why are there shapes/what do they mean? What do the lines mean (like why are they diagonal?)?

my questions

The shapes are an image of the probability distributions of the electrons basically in quantum physics the electrons can be anywhere or even two positions at once (superposition) however they are more likely to be in the orbitals drawn it's a probability thing essentially more likely to be there than not.

and the diagonal lines refer to the aufbau principle which goes along the idea that electrons fill the lowest energy level first and the aufbau principle allows you to determine the order of energy so lowest energy subshell would be 1s then 2s then 2p then 3s then 3p and so on. so we would first fill out 1s which can hold 2 electrons that's why helium has electron config: 1s^2 because it has only two electrons and since we fill the lowest energy level i.e. 1s we'd fill that up first. Going further to say Beryllium which has 4 electrons we'd first fill up 1s with two and then we would move to the next energy level which would be 2s so we'd fill up 2 electrons there that's why beryllium electron config is 1s^2 2s^2 now for the third one we have the 2p subshell. So now if we consider say oxygen with 8 electrons we'd fill up the first lowest energy levels 1s^2 and 2s^2 and we'd have 4 electrons remaining, where do we allocate? well the aufbau principle tells us that directly after 2s is 2p which can house a maximum of 6 electrons so we'd place our remaining 4 electrons in there and overall the electron config of oxygen would be 1s^2 2s^2 2p^4 note that the exponents refer to the number of electrons in each subshell

idk why they're diagonal lol quantum phys is just weird

THANK YOU!!!
and yes i'm starting to think quantum is weird too T-T

also can you fill out the 2026 hsc prediction doc, it's on my profile

filled it

Heyy! What are your subjects for next yr?

Hm? Are you asking me or the other person?

 

[Bendwhat?_over]

maybe you can make it on the fifth attempt

I counted wrong. I, also, failed the fifth attempt. I failed in 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10.

At least I have consistent results. I suppose. Kicks rock.

I failed everytime as well because I never attempted... at least you actually tried

sry i meant the other person, i quoted wrong T-T
what schools did you apply for? yr 9 entry was the only time i did hast
