    Given up hope of 90 UAI, anyone?

    Don't let a few assessments get to you. You've gotta put it all into perspective - your school mark is only half your HSC. There are PLENTY of opportunities to improve and get up to scratch. I am currently aiming for 100. It seems pretty impossible BUT at least I know that I'm not...

    public school or private school to do better in HSC?

    Quite mistaken here. How about you go and and actually talk to some of the people from selective high schools. . . you'll find most are just as social as any normal kid.

    series

    Really? I just memorise it and apply it where I can. The formula is: A = p(1 + r)^n Where A is the amount p is the initial amount invested r is interest rate (in decimal form) n is the number of time periods

    public school or private school to do better in HSC?

    If you haven't noticed already, a majority of selective high schools kick butt at debating, public speaking and other extra curricular activities. Most kids there aren't even the typical "nerd" and are really social. At selective schools, the students themselves create the pressure; they all...

    Economic Problem - The Government

    I'm not too sure what you're getting at, but I think you mean the role of the Govt. The government intervenes in the market economy to ensure that socially desirable outcomes are achieved when the economic problem is solved. What to produce - illicit drugs are...

    Extremely concerned about assessment marks

    Your marks mean nothing without ranks. Ranks are definitely more important. Still, you're doing well. Stop worrying.

    Prelim

    Yeah, we got tested on prelim topics too . . . like 2 whole questions dedicated to it. Our school doesn't really make a distinction between prelim and hsc topics, there's a greater emphasis on learning the lot.

    help with my father began as a god

    I'd say the context is that of the last scene, because that's when the realisation comes about. I really don't think context is a big issue for this poem, its more about the conceptual ideas about life that are more important.

    Maths Dillema - To drop, or not to drop?

    don't be disheartened by one test. think about it. its ONE test. you need to think about it more wholistically. is maths your weakest subject? do you really struggle to grasp the concepts? or do you just underperform in exams? also, see if there is any more room for improvement. if you...

    You KNOW you're an economics nerd when..

    When you start analysing your diminished spending on muffins due to that price rise as elastic demand When all dinner table conversations seem to link back to Economics When you get really angry at John Howard for taking credit for the benefits of microeconomic reform (which he didn't even...

    Question: Explain the Multiplier Process 4 Marks

    what 2162 has said is pretty much what happens, but since its an explain process, you'd want some words to go with it: 1. Define the multiplier (the number of times an increase in national income exceeds the increase in aggregate demand that caused it) 2. Give a description of the process...

    Why is physics so hard?

    also make sure your graph scaling isn't odd - I got penalised for it in my last task

    Economics scaling?

    According to my maths teacher, the way they scale subjects also depends on what other subjects the candidature do and how well they do in these subjects If you've noticed, most people here who do Eco also do Phys and Chem, which is probably one reason why Eco scales pretty well Eco's...

    Is getting <50% common in chem or does my school just suck??

    woah < 50% is pretty low. at my school it usually varies between 60 - 95% most people are in the 80% area iono maybe your tests are just really hard . . . =/

    burnt out

    i feel kind of burnt out, and I'm kinda kicking myself coz if I wasn't so lazy and had written out my notes before I wouldn't be in this situation. I guess a solution is to work strategically - sus out exactly what's in the exam and just study that rather than everything. More time to sleep...

    Eco assignment help? (role of consumers)

    - look out for articles on inflation, interest rates and their effect on consumer spending - look for an article about young people so you can talk about their low saving/high expenditure - look for articles about different cultural backgrounds saving/spending eg one about an Aussie...
