    Should I drop Physics, Biology, or Economics?

    I would probably suggest you drop Physics (as most people have suggested above), its probably too risky to be relying on tutoring to have a significant increase in marks, and you're probably better off putting the effort into Bio and Eco. I'd also like to question the validity of that source...

    Resistance! In motors

    Energy = P x t = VI x t now V = IR (substitute for V) therefore, Energy loss = (IR) x I x t = I^2R x t

    HSC TRIALS *LEGAL STUDIES* What's In the EXAMS!!

    this thread was created in 2005. I doubt it'd be much help for a trial exam in 2008.

    How many words can you write in 40 minutes?

    creative writing

    I think you would get penalised a bit for not incorporating the stimulus - at my school that would push you down to a C.

    Creative writing section

    i'd say just do what they want. give them the sloppy story with some kinda of personal gain and the happy ending and get it over with - don't take the risk (unless you are a really talented writer)

    Subsidies reduce prices and lower inflation?

    we have heavy tariffs on our motor industry coz their inefficient compared to international producers and probably cannot compete without the protection. the commodity/resources boom refers to the growth in this particular sector in recent years due to global demand and the fact we have a...

    Selective Schools: Good or Bad?

    hmm I personally don't have a problem with the selective school system, but I do agree that it does come with some disadvantages. I think that people have just taken the concept of a selective school to a level it was never intended to be at. From my understanding, the system of selective...

    How do you minimise silly errors?

    Re: 回复: Re: How do you minimise silly errors? getting it right the first time is easier said than done. i too am heavily prone to silly mistakes, and so far, the only solution i've found is to check my work over and over again. its more about training yourself to not check your work...

    What are some funny teacher's comments you've recieved on an exam paper?

    In an economics essay, I was talking about a teacher's pay rise (referring to WA teachers), and my teacher wrote: " Terrific essay (except for the teachers pay rise - what pay rise) "

    I have a couple of questions that need answers

    have you actually tried answering these yourself? some points you may want to consider when you answer these yourself: - cash rate = interest rate - what are the aims of monetary policy? what kind of figures will indicate the levels/state of this? - pre-emptive monetary policy

    Case study extended response.

    I would say so, but who knows, they may deviate from the alternating trend, or stick in something into some short answers - I'd still do a case study to be on the safe side.
