    Biology or Economics?

    I quote myself from another thread: But on second thought... come again, bc I'm not too sure if you should take the all science path, I mean its sort of good to have some sort of background knowledge on eco... I'm keeping bio for my HSC (for now) purely because I'm attempting to do Med

    How long should your summary of summaries be?

    I made two sets of notes 1 really really detailed set, essentially a textbook in its own right (50pages per module) but getting closer to the exam I just listed out the shit I was required to know and then looked at them, recited a few notes in my head and yeah. I found that really helps

    Year 11 2013 Chit Chat Thread

    what the fuck are you on about? from http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/manuals/studying-hsc.html So yeah stop thinking you know everything lol. I understand it says "most" but you're just naïve for thinking its not official.

    What textbook should i use to really help me in Maths Extension 1

    Being a 3/4u student, I found that Cambridge really helps tbh But that's probably bc I enjoy doing the obscure "extension" questions... haha

    3D Trig.

    A few tips which my tutor has told me: - Always chase for tan (90% of the questions) - Always look at the base triangle bc usually the q will involve that or you can use that to find "h" or whatever.

    Tips for prelim trig?

    i found doing a million of them really helps. Sorry but I don't think there's any other method (from my experience). People call me elite at trig and the rest, and I can honestly say its because I've done so many past papers, which really gives you the experience on what sort of questions...

    How strict are HSC Markers?

    Well... im not too sure about that question, but from the science teachers that I've asked, and they do HSC marking... They say in trials they are as harsh as possible so that you can differentiate between shit and good students but in the HSC you try be as lenient as possible. Or well that's...

    Polymers

    yes as Kurosaki said, because of the long chain it is very hard for water to really get in between the polymers and dissolve them. Look at the relative sizes of water and polymers. Most polymers are typically what, 3000-5000 to 10000 monomers? so its yeah. Also, when coming down to specific...

    School Laptops

    I recommend reformatting tbh just reformat even if it was done for you this is bad, but as a hint install windows 8 and see if it is faster. the kernel was completely rewritten haha

    Chances for me to make into Hurlstone Agriculture High School!

    year 7 to year 8... hmm Hurlstone typically only has at most 5 spots I think it was about 3 in the year I tried out ;- (yeah I failed Hurlstone twice then gave up...)

    Biology Vs Economics

    I did both (regretfully). tbh I wish I did neither. LOL but honestly... I find bio a tad more bearable than economics. but maybe I just had trash for teachers. Eco is so... Like honestly I think eco has just as much bullshit as bio to study. And since you (will) do chem and phys, I really...

    Recommended Texbooks/Study Guides for Preliminary HSC?

    I think writing your own notes suited to the board of studies syllabus is the best (PEAK Science student right here) but still... idk I found its been the most hopeful. like the really easy identify q's and shit you've already got in the bag bc you actually read the syllabus (you'd be surprised...
