I went to the 2-day workshop this year and thought it was alright In the first day, you basically have the presenter give talks for general tips and techniques for each section of the UMAT. Each section is covered through in 90 minutes (so 270 minutes in total). There are also breaks in...

I hope there won't be probability again. Probably won't since it was there for 2 years in a row (2016 and 2015) I wouldn't mind an Integration or Graphs one for Q16 though lol.

Yup.

Yeah parametrics will pretty much ask you the same thing especially for Year 11 3U (e.g. equation of tangent, normal etc.) Just remember that if its a tangent or normal question to differentiate the equation and then sub in the x-coordinate of the point in question to find the gradient and then...

I was more of an all nighter person as I didn't want to take the risk of missing my morning alarm or lacking the motivation to get out of bed. But if the all nighters start to get out of hand and ruin my concentration capacity, I either took strong coffee or had a 3.5 hour sleep. Bottom line...

Our school was banned from having muck up day since like 2010 since the year before that poured some random chemicals over the grass which resulted in our school having no 'greenery' for a whole year I think.

Private tuition and colleges both have their pros and cons. To be honest, I was always more of a college person but I also did some private tuition as well for math. Pros of colleges include: - You are normally given extensive and thorough theory books which have some useful tips for 4U...

You can definitely boost it up if you do well in the HSC exams. Remember that half of your overall HSC mark for each subject depends on how well you actually do yourself in the exam. Your internal mark for each subject however is dependent upon how well your cohort does and your current rank...

Well when you solve the equation you get the roots x=2/3 and x=1 Then just let one of the roots be alpha and the other be beta. Then sub it into part a). I think part a) is a bit weird since you can't tell which root will be alpha and which will be beta since you are multiplying each one by a...

I don't know about you guys but 2003 4U Q8 b) was almost impossible for me personally. I think it was proving that pi was irrational using integration or something.

Depends on the marker to be honest - ask your teacher if it's alright to have explicit language. My school is fine with it as long as your as analysis is legitimate and supports your argument.

Since you're in Year 12 next year, the current (old) syllabus will tell you what you need to study for your subjects. What you need to study will be in the dot points of the syllabus. For example, the chemistry syllabus is here -->...

Don't worry I was similar to you since I didn't do much study in Year 11. You can start afresh for Year 12 and really ace it. Just work harder in Year 12 and better results should follow. Try to take notes during the holiday break and learn ahead. In terms of ESL, just make sure you put a lot...

They probably won't specify Hollow Men again but I mean they technically could. In terms of examples from past years, I don't think I have seen the same poem asked two years in a row. I'm planning to focus on all the other 4 poems but then just have some quotes/techniques for Hollow Men just in...

English isn't my strong suit but it could probably reveal a lot about the composer's authorial context during the particular era. This is more for Module A for Advanced English in particular but for example I did Shakespeare's Richard III and Pacino's film Looking for Richard and I said how...

Firstly, don't worry - I was the same as you back when I was in Year 11 last year. The best way to use other textbooks is to use them during your free periods (if you have them) or at home when you're not too busy and you don't have exams looming around. For example, I currently use around 3...

Maybe try both for a while and see which one most suits you in terms of memory retention/understanding. Everyone has their unique study methods so I can't exactly pinpoint one specific type for you to do. Some pros of writing include: - it is what you will actually do during the HSC -...

Re: 2017 Trials Discussion Thread Learned some invaluable stuff during my trials: 1. Don't cram the entire Physics course in one day (I didn't end up sleeping till like 4.15am). 2. Study all poems required for a certain module for English. I did the poetry of T.S Eliot for Module B and...

Hi there :) Having done more than half of my preliminary HSC course by now, I am slowly approaching the daunting stage of entering Year 12. Some of the teachers at my school aren't the best at explaining the concepts of their respective subjects well, and so I have been doing tutoring at...
