I did the battery thing and definitely felt like it helped. Could scrape out about 3 pages in my prelim in 40 minutes using 3 AA batteries, wrote 4.5 pages in my prelim without any batteries. What I would recommend is to have a pen with 3 batteries and one with two. That way if your hand gets...

Yeah, specifically for physics. I haven't done too much of the maths ones but I spotted a few errors in the physics topic tests in projectile motion (iirc)

I've seen it happen before, think it's just because it's referencing a private company or something. It probably would've worked if I'd split the word in half or something. You knew what I was talking about at least

I generally try to use the ********* books (especially the topic tests) as a general guide to the questions you can be asked. I will do past paper questions before, then some *********, and then more past papers. I only use it once I mostly know what the solution to questions in that style...

I'm pretty sure I saw the same thing multiple times as well in some of the physics questions and maybe some maths. The physics solutions would work towards an answer but then finish too early with an answer that was incorrect and they would explain what the final answer should be in the...

My old school only had 1 unique pick with good night and good luck by George Clooney. Other texts were crucible, and tempest/hagseed. My new school does wasteland for common mod (I genuinely despised it with almost every fibre of my being), and then we do tempest/hagseed and t.s. Eliot

I understand that it is general practice for early assessments to be out of lower marks, but I think the teachers at my school genuinely don't care. English was out of 30 and physics was out of 34, (I think) MX2 /45, MX1 was /48, maths advanced was /50, economics /57. I think my engineering...

The only reason I'm using the physics one is because my teacher gave us this stupid assignment (our third assessment task) which is literally just dot point summaries and example questions for every syllabus dot point from module 5 to module 7. I genuinely hate my teacher for it because it's...

Y11 eco wasn't too bad and it was mostly about developing skills needed for economics in my mind. My teacher spent more time on certain topics that would be covered again in year 12 like unemployment so we had a better understanding earlier. The hardest thing for me was learning how to make...

I can definitely see a use for it. Good mix between brown and pink noise so I'll probably use it to do questions and general study. Brown noise during past papers is definitely still my go to though

Never heard of it

Pink noise is definitely in the same category as brown noise in being better than everything else

Brown noise >>

That makes sense. It'll take a bit of adjusting to and will make some questions feel a little more confusing to approach in the beginning but I'd rather be safe than lose marks. I guess it should've made more sense to go from a known statement to what is given since that is sort of the approach...

I've generally solved the AM-GM inequality questions by working from what I have to the known statement of (a-b)^2>=0, but the more I look at solutions and from watching mcgrathematics they usually solve them from the known statement to what is given. Is it wrong for me to be working toward a...

My school learns content out of the In Focus textbook and does those questions but we are also given the Cambridge textbook. The difference in style of questions between the two is crazy to me and makes Cambridge feel super hard since we don't have access to the worked solutions. We now have...

I’m at a pretty low ranking school and my teacher said he would base allowing people to enter maths ext 2 based on prelims. 3rd place got like 65% and doesn’t want to do ext 2, yet some people who got below 50% still want to do it. I got a great mark compared to the rest of my class and...

My school uses maths in focus, but I found a Cambridge pdf textbook online for free and it helps a lot with specific topics and finding harder questions for those topics. Also, all of the topics (at least compared to MIF) are spread out a lot more meaning everything can be focused on for a...

All of the topics I can find that we’ve done are: 1. Introduction to information skills and systems, 2. Tools for information processing, 3. Developing information systems (which was just Gantt charts and stuff), 4. Introduction to databases. I think my teacher tried to follow the syllabus...

I doubt you’d get it. I’m not in a major hub (Sydney, Wollongong, Newcastle) and I don’t have a red head teacher. I have a class of like 20 or something and we handed in our second assessment a few weeks ago but haven’t gotten marks back. Our first assessment was basically a just research report...
