    Business studies or Biology? NEED HELP ASAP

    Business is easier (a lot of it is common sense), but I would recommend you do biology (it's more interesting imo). If you wan to see the exam structure, look at the 2012 HSC exams for both subjects. Biology has 20 mcqs, short answers and 2-3 (including the option) long responses which are...

    Teacher's marking vs HSC marking

    If you can, you might want to give your essays to other teachers as well and compare the feedback they give you.

    Quick Question?

    Yeah, but the question is asking for the equation of the normal at point B, not A. So find the gradient of the tangent at B (and so on).

    does increasing the concentration of HCl increase ph?

    When you add water to water (I'm assuming this is what you're trying to say), it self ionises. H2O + H2O --> H3O+ + OH- In water, pH = pOH If water is neutral i.e. a pH of 7, then [H+] = 10^-7 Now pOH. pOH = 14 - pH = 7 so [OH-] = 10^-7 [H+] = [OH-] Even if you add more water, [H+] will...

    2013 exam predictions?

    Russia; I'm hoping for power struggle between Trotsky and Stalin or Soviet state under Stalin to be one of the options. Conflict in Europe; may be something from End of Conflict

    An atar of 95 with 10 units?

    Yeah, and you'll have to do better in your other subjects to achieve 95. But, seriously. Don't think about these things now. Stop worrying and start believing in yourself. Work hard next year and try to achieve high ranks, that's the only thing that should be on your mind.

    An atar of 95 with 10 units?

    Advanced Eng - 88 Biology - 90 Chemistry - 87 2U Maths - 92 Ancient History - 90 These are the approximte HSC marks that might get you just above 95. But obviously if you achieve a higher mark in one subject and a lower mark in another (chem: 90 and english: 85), you can still achieve 95.

    An atar of 95 with 10 units?

    Depends on what your subjects are. But yeah, generally you have to do well. Not necessarily 90+ in all your subjects.

    An atar of 95 with 10 units?

    Of course. Only 10 units are counted in your atar anyway.

    What to keep for Yr 12?

    Yeah. These are the main things I can think of from prelim chem that you would need for HSC: - the different types of bonds (intermolecular and intramolecular - including hydrogen bonding, dipoole-dipole, dispersion) - polarity (polar and non-polar molecules / like dissolves like) - solubility...

    Holiday Study Before Year 12

    Like others have said, rest. If you really want to do something, read books (not prescribed texts for English - books that you would actually want to read). Other than that, don't do anything. Take a break from year 11 and start with a fresh mind for year 12.

    Possible for Bio Cram?

    Don't do absolutely nothing, you might start to forget things if you don't revise. Even just reading your notes and doing a paper a week is better than doing nothing.

    Subject selection help!

    You can achieve 92+ with either of those sets of subjects.

    How long should your summary of summaries be?

    Try using index cards. My detailed summaries are 20-30 pages, then I write my summaries of summaries on index cards, 1 dot point on each side.
