    Not enough qualifications to get into uni?

    I'm not sure about Sydney, but I know a lot of Unis really value tafe qualifications. As an accurate example, my boyfriend finished Year 12 but didn't want to go to uni so he was doing subjects like music, standard english, general maths, pdhpe etc..... He ended up with an ATAR of 50.5. He then...

    ATAR Estimate and help with Raw Mark scaling?... need 90. Help??

    Thank you guys! Makes me feel a lot more relaxed about exams... especially after having a look at the raw mark cut offs for Band 6. Hopefully the exams go my way. Half of the stress is my teachers telling me that I should be getting Band 6 in most of my subjects... I don't want to feel like crap...

    Belonging Essay Predictions!

    People tend to stress way too much about the question. Yes you have to respond well with the question. But you can go against what the question is saying... Most of the high scoring essays are those that interpreted and responded to the question in a distinctive way. For example the question...

    ATAR ESIMATE PLEASE :) 80 still possible?(IF i do well externally)

    Basically with most of these subjects the scaling is not so great... You need to do pretty damn well for it to be reflected equally in your ATAR. There was a girl in my school who did general maths, standard english, geography, Legal and Business studies. She worked her ass off (she wasn't a...

    ATAR Estimate and help with Raw Mark scaling?... need 90. Help??

    Yeah I understood there isn't necessarily a cap on the ATAR achievable if you rank first or very highly and perform very well, a few years ago we had two 99+ students in a class of 25, and we're smack bang in the middle of the country. I'm glad I am first, because I don't trust the people in my...

    Belonging Essay Predictions!

    My money is on the really horrible obscure dotpoint about belonging to/being excluded from a text or the world the text represents... There would be many pants crapped that day if they do go along those lines... If they are feeling kinder I would say it will be identity, which would work with my...

    ATAR Estimate and help with Raw Mark scaling?... need 90. Help??

    Hey guys, So I'm looking at doing a Bachelor of Physiotherapy and the entry at CSU is 94 and UoN is 96... with bonus points (for regional area and subject bonuses at Newcastle) I need around 90 to get in. I'd be ecstatic with a higher mark, maybe mid 90's but I'm not overly stressed as long as I...

    Quanta to Quarks, Rydberg Equation, Energy Levels, radii, spectral lines.... gah!

    Hey guys, so I have a few questions. I understand the Rydberg Equation and I get that there are derivations of it that let you calculate the radius of higher energy level orbits, but my question is, will they ever ask for that derivation or ask questions that need you to find it? i.e. the...

    Extension 1 Essay help??... too many texts, so little time?

    Hey guys, I'm studying 4U English and I'm struggling with Extension 1. Specifically, the critical response section - I'm prefectly able to write sophisticatedly with good thesis ideas, can analyse well + relate to my points, but what is testing me is the amount we have to write about! 2...

    Can someone validate the techniques in these for me?

    No idea what text/module/elective you are doing but I'll have a go... 1. "My son is everything to me." Not sure there is an exact technique here, it's more a powerful tone created by the almost monosyllabic rhythm of the words, and the short sentence. 2. "Then you realize where you are. Even...

    Speeches in module B - How the hell do I prepare effectively???

    hey guys, so is it just me or does everyone else think that expecting us to know 7 speeches (on top of our 3 belonging texts, frankie + blade, as well as however many of Levinson's poems + another 2 related texts) is just getting ridiculous? It's becoming a test of who can memorise more, not...

    North Korea

    If you ask my opinion, it's 90% all talk. One, none of NK's nuclear weapons have been tested long range - their technology is far outmatched by the US Two, NK as a country is already isolated in terms of international relations... their only strong relation is with China, and that was only...

    Magnetic Flux and Magnetic Flux Density Units

    webaddict and realise nothing, I'm not trying to sound arrogant but I'm speaking from both what my teacher has told me and what has been confirmed in the excel book... tesla is the same as weber/m^2, except the question is not asking for it in terms of weber. B is the correct answer, as it asks...

    Magnetic Flux and Magnetic Flux Density Units

    Magnetic flux density is a measure of Tesla per unit area. Magnetic flux is simply the amount of 'lines of force' (Faraday's term, not mine) that pass through a specific area. So if you are given an area and a magnetic flux density you can calculate the amount of magnetic flux passing through...
