Even though my fine motor skills are somewhat lacking, I still enjoy "solo sports" like Cross Country, Athletics (esp. high jump) and swimming. Gaelic football was th only team sport I enjoy this year in PE. Next year there are practical lessons but they only occupy 5% of the course time (6...

Tell me, why did you add 15 and 20 instead of subtracting: 20 - 15? Sorry; that was a really dumb question! 15 and 20 are both distances from the passing point, so to get the total distance you must add them together. :)

Let the cars be A and B. Let the amount of kilometres Car A (the slow car) is from Car B (the fast car) be x. When Car A reaches Car B, x = 0. When Car A is 15 km from Car B, naturally x = 15. Total distance travelled 60 x 80 = 480 km (that's a multiplication sign, not a letter). Divide 480...

*content... contempt refers to feelings of bitterness, envy, disgust... or is that what you meant? Who wouldn't be happy with a credit! I would be happy with that... I haven't got a UNSW Cert since Year 9 Maths and Yr 9 English last year.

Fantastico! Chemica è molto difficile! Mamma mia! I'm glad I didn't pick Chem, this marathon looks difficult and boring, and not worth it in the end! :) lol... please continue 'running'...

What a load of crap, Official. I know from experience that practise, practise, practise does NOT always make perfect. Enough with the quick-fix responses!

Thank you, that's good to know. If I find Year 11 Maths difficult, I'll just ask my teacher where I can get some past prelim papers to practice, so that I don't make the same mistake as you (rote learning from the textbook). Does HSC Maths include exam questions such as "derive the formula for...

Hello all, Basically all I want to know now is what the title says: what is the minimum standard expected of students entering the Prelim Mathematics course? I'm in Year 10, I study Mathematics Stage 5.3 and I average about 70%. Would I do okay in Prelim and HSC Maths (2 unit)? By "okay" I...

Wow, you really are bummed about not getting to do Genetics. Biotechnology must have sucked...

Sorry. I'm just going to keep asking you (in written word only): are you Riley F from MCK school???

Um, Namu...the Board of Studies got rid of the Belle Curve, mate... that was why they reformed the HSC from 2001... the marking process was unfair because marks were pre-decided by a Belle Curve... i.e. 5% of people got Band 6 even if in reality 12% of the course candidature achieved a raw mark...

Hello all, What's the best Biology option topic for the HSC? Purely based on your opinion, that is. Bias has a place here; I'm interested to see what people think. I haven't started Year 12 Bio, but the Genetics option appeals most to me if I had to pick one. Your thoughts? Vote on the poll...

You go to my school. Don't you? Leave me a visitor message if you haven't worked out who I am...

OMG You're Riley Finn!!!

I hear you brother! I'm good at math too, but like you I am SLOW at math! I just did the 2008 School Certificate Maths Paper (non calculator section) and got 18/25 ...not bad, considering it's a RAW mark, but it could have been a lot better (I didn't finish three whole questions). I recommend...

Hello all, My name is James, I'm in Year 10. I would like to study Physiotherapy at USYD in 2013 (after taking a gap year in 2012 - the year that the world supposedly ends)... will my subjects cover me for the assumed knowledge in a roundabout way? They recommend Chem and Phys as assumed...

LOL. I've just finished the school certificate science course and Reproduction was my favourite topic for the entire two years! :) (Seriously.) It was really fun because our teacher let us teach it to each other. One group made a rap: "When a man and a woman love each other very much The...

Pfft ... man, there are only about 14 days until the HSC exams start (if you do Business Studies). By now you really should be prepared in my opinion. I have already prepared for my SC exams, albeit they are much easier to prepare for, but they are on even later than the HSC exams. I don't...

I don't know if anyone has actually answered the poor guy's question yet, including me! Peter, you do NOT have to memorise any formulae EXCEPT for simple formulae: Pythagoras's Theorem: c^2 = a^2 + b^2 AREA OF PLANE SHAPES: Square: A^2 Rectangle = LB Triangle: 1/2 x bh The formulae for...

'Like' is superfluous in that sentence. You do 4U English and you should know that. :) 503? Do you go to a TAFE college? I remember that you're about 20, so I guess you do, right? Edit: LOL I hope I don't sound like a stalker...
