    2009 trials. what did you think?

    i didn't do the paper, just saying if (140-8x)/4 was what u put as ur answer, its not in simplified form cause (140-8x)/4 = 35-2x sorry if i misunderstood you as i don't even know the question, its just answers should be simplified

    Rough ATAR estimate possible, please?

    i think thats quite a high estimate, IPT rank 5/17 is about the 30th percentile in the school, but the school rank isn't that high, eng ext 1 is also 50th percentile in a low rank school. modern and ext history are good scaling and awesome rank, but its also hard to tell if that rank is a...

    Horrible at Competitions.

    some people may disagree but imo: school and uni: 80% work, 20% talent competitions: 80% talent, 20% work what makes u suceed more in life is ur work though. u will achieve better marks at school, better at uni, and employers will not go for the lazy even if they are extremely gifted. so if u...

    Australian Maths Competition

    Australian Maths Competition

    Re: How did people go in the maths comp today? i don't think it was either if that was to work for all fn(x) cause f0(x) had 2 solutions to it same with f1(x) and f2(x) though it looked so simple i wasn't sure
