Congrats to all the first in state students- especially the ones I know. I had a few surprises when seeing the list for the first time :) Thanks deswa and spiral and toan

I passed grade 5 theory a few years ago. If you want a good mark, Dulcie Holland's Master your Theory books are by far the better workbook. In the Blitz books Coates kind of skims through the knowledge that you'll need, as she tries to make it 'fun', resulting in stuff like 3-4 general...

Simple answer is yes, regardless how well you do in the other subjects Standard will make it much harder (almost impossible?) to get a really high ATAR.

Easiest way is to just look at the diagram, plot the last point, and count. So for example, draw the diagram, and you can see (1,5) and (4,2) are a pair of points which differ by 3 and 3. Then you have (2,-3), so the last point has to be 3 up and 3 to the left, which is (-1, 0). You'll...

Yep the essay was pretty general- but then the last few years have all been general. Different structure though, no asking for chords or symbols or keys or whatever thats usually found in Q1, but ok exam all up.

I got 11b wrong DO NOT WANT

I'm looking back at 14c the volumes question- and is it actually a circle? DA is r, but AB isn't r so it would be a parabola. It'll be too hard if it was for a 4 marker, and obviously their intent was for a circle but it looks a bit weird to me.

well, obviously there is 0.3 ways of putting coins in boxes, genius

I did, then i thought it would be much too hard for a 4 mark q. So I just used the circle- but it seems to be wrong, as it's not. Shame you can't put two answers.

2008 HSC 4aiii Let the base of the triangle in iii be x. Since A=1/2 Pr 4x= 1/2 * (8+x+sqrt(x^2 + 64)) * 2 Easily solve for x.

The focus is (0,-6/4), from the definition of a parabola. Now find the equation of the line joining the focus and (6,-6), you should get y + 1.5 = -3/4 x. Now solve this simultaneously with the parabola to find points of intersection, and you'll get two of them- one will be (6,-6) and the...

No need to work out a. Since the vertex is the origin, it has to be y = bx^2 where b is a constant. Sub (-1, 7) into it to find b, which gives 7.

1 bad creative, 1 belonging related, 1 module c related ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^

Yep me and two other guys from my music class got nominations into Encore. My one says "DVD of your HSC performances" so it's definitely performance, but doesn't specify if it was the Music Ext or Music 2 pieces that were good. Great work madharris, an Encore nomination is an amazing achievement...

Yep so I think you should go do B Com/B Social Work and go get a job in economics.

you are definitely not doing 25th in both 3U and 4U, nor are you 40th in english stop making up your ranks also, you do know that you probably should ASK PERMISSION before putting other people's ranks up here, just in case they DO NOT WANT AN ESTIMATE.

For some reason, not used to the 2 hour time. I kept going overtime for the first essay, no idea why. Somehow I think I did better in Paper 2 than 1, even though belonging is the easiest. But anyway, english is finished, therefore trials are over.

I heard jens the english king did excellently good today. He even went to have a poop break and still finished. I wish I had the ability to do that.

Too wordy, also not just connection with peers, but with places, groups/communities, and the wider world.

Not a whole year... just another 300 days. Something to look forward to I suppose :)
