    Re: Year 11 Mathematics 3 Unit Cambridge Question & Answer Thread Yeah, usually they don't like to waste too many marks on these sort of questions.

    Is the ATAR calculated only with the HSC marks or the Trials+HSC+Internal Assessments

    Hey everyone, in need of some advice for subjects next year :) Please help

    Re: Is the ATAR calculated only with the HSC marks or the Trials+HSC+Internal Assessm Also, you may be interested to know that ATARs are calculated using raw (HSC exam) marks, before they've been aligned.

    Can I using a prescribed text that is from another module as a related text

    Curve Sketching

    Whatever is sufficient to inform you of what the shape of the curve is and where critical points are. Usually I would recommend finding x/y intercepts, odd/even, domain/range, asymptotes, and stationary points (inflection points as well if the question asks and/or the 2nd derivative isn't too...

    Abbreviations In Circle Geometry

    I reiterate what the others have said; and if you're unsure, it probs will only take like 2 seconds to write out the full thing (or a less abbreviated version)

    2016ers Chit-Chat Thread

    2-3 hours per day isn't too bad as long as they're spent well, but personally I'd recommend doing more study than that
