    Past Paper/Useful Docs bank

    tbh i haven't used the resources on bos much either maybe divide new and old syllabus resources for subjects such as maths and sciences with recent syllabus changes

    Past Paper/Useful Docs bank

    damn whats happening with your drive then? is the whole problem to do with the fact that you didn't post this in resources?

    YEAR 12 ADVANCED TRIGONOMETRIC EQUATIONS

    im guessing the question is just asking for answers to a few decimal places, which can be found on desmos as the x-coordinates of the intersection points

    Is Tutoring really necessary

    one-on-one attention? i don't think i got much feedback from my school teacher

    Is Tutoring really necessary

    generally grammar teachers are great but tutoring still helps imo for maths and chemistry, i covered the topics in advance so learning at school consolidated existing knowledge (and i could chill and talk in class) for physics, i occasionally fell behind and went to a tutor (every now and then)...

    YEAR 12 ADVANCED TRIGONOMETRIC EQUATIONS

    There is no way to solve this algebraically (the equation is a transcendental equation).

    Is Tutoring really necessary

    While tutoring isn't necessary, I think it almost always helps raise your marks. I do know some people at my school who performed amazingly without tutoring, but they were extremely naturally talented and usually passionate about learning. Again, it depends on the person, but I think that...

    Are you sure that the school sends rounded marks? Or maybe, NESA rounds them instead? I'm not too sure.

    HSC Chemistry SOLUTIONS / Thoughts / Predictions

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but the raw internal marks sent by your school seem to be rounded, and the ranks are given off the rounded marks. I don't think rounded marks would be used to calculate your internal HSC marks, as that would be unfair to some students. In your case, that would mean...

    What's the best way to memorise content?

    I'd suggest spaced repetition (i.e. learn a few pages today, go through those pages tomorrow, then again in a few days, and then again in a couple weeks). After every repetition, you'll know the content better, and you can give yourself a longer interval before going over it again.

    nah lmao i bet im dropping 5 random marks or sth

    HSC Chemistry SOLUTIONS / Thoughts / Predictions

    yeah im stilling kicking myself for dropping a mark on the last question bc i used 103g as the total mass but i haven't dropped any other yet i think?

    Also what raw mark would state rank be this year? I heard 98 raw was needed last year, but this year is a bit harder ofc (assuming im rank 1 internally, but i could be rank 2)

    HSC Chemistry SOLUTIONS / Thoughts / Predictions

    You can definitely get a 99+ with those marks! Hsc ninja atar calc gives a 99 atar to mid 80s english and low-mid 90s (~94) aligned for maths and sciences, which you should easily exceed.

    HSC Physics Predictions / Thoughts

    Wait damn what happened?? I couldn't find his vid yesterday, thought sth was up. Kinda feel bad for him bc i used his vids a lot throughout the past year. Also which questions did he get wrong?

    HSC Physics Predictions / Thoughts

    yeah i had q2 1.5 times of q1 which is what you got i think b is root 6 but i got 3 because of a silly mistake

    HSC Physics Predictions / Thoughts

    technically its not rly a limitation

    HSC Physics Predictions / Thoughts

    yeah "Special relativity applies to all physical phenomena in the absence of gravity" according to wikipedia would non-relativistic speeds get the mark?
