    Standard vs Advanced

    isn't that what i said in the second post? but hey the more people that cast their view, the more reliable it is. :)

    co-ord. geom qs (no. 3!)

    well i would roughly plot the points. now you can calculate the two gradients of the sides, then you can get the equation of these lines because you know where they pass through, then you can solve simultaneous to find the point of intersection, ie. D.

    IPT Scaling

    sorry, but i'm tired of doing the hard work. you can check yourself here, http://www.uac.edu.au/pubs/pdf/2007_table_A3.pdf remember the scaled mark alone does not mean much, you can only analyse the data effectively by comparing it to how other subjects would have the same mark scaled.

    WTF I can't login to MyUNSW

    click the thing about forgetting the password. also if you just got you new id card, i think they reset it to the one on the receipt.

    raw mark?

    The board does not publish the relationship between the raw mark and hsc mark. regardless, it changes from year to year. and what you are talking about is aligning, not scaling, scaling is done by UAC, not the Board, for the calculation of the UAI.

    Help?

    do heaps practice questions, such as from the resources section of this site.. in doing so, you will remember the formulae. The more you use the formula, the more you remember it. If you are having problems, go and ask you teacher for help, or post here.

    Bring-info-into-examroom science assessments-

    well, i didn't memorise it. i just ripped out the relevant pages (well i didn't rip out pages from the text book, i just photocopied it), and highlighted the relevant sections so i could find it in the exam. one thing i forgot to mention before, is that, because we are not allowed to copy word...

    Standard vs Advanced

    put it this way. if all the advanced students, changed to standard, and then all the standard students changed to advanced, standard would get more band 6's than advanced. Advanced students get more band 6's, because advanced students, in general, outperform the standard students in paper 1...

    Bring-info-into-examroom science assessments-

    Yeah.. I had an assessment like this. They are pretty much open book exams. The thing is with mine, they told us the questions will be based on these 4 dot points. So I just wrote down my notes on a piece of paper and took that in with me. I ended up in an argument with the Head Teacher, because...

    Help with Teachniques

    hmm i think it should be changed to teachniques, its sounds so much better, lol. it is Lane, not Lance, right? Yeah, you might want to try looking at the whole autobiography rather that just a single line.

    another co-ord geo qs

    well this works by calculating the angle each line makes with zero degrees. i.e. the line horizontal from the origin. So if you change the form, 3x - y = 5 into y = 3x -5 i.e. gradient is 3. and for the second one, 2x - 4y + 1 = 0 4y=2x+1 y=1/2 x + 1/4 i.e. gradient is 1/2. Now we know that...

    Easy instructions for working out STANDARD DEVIATION on the Casio 82MS?

    Yes i know that General Maths students will most likely need to know how to do it on a calculator. I was just expressing my view, the fact that it is so stupid to teach such outdated technologies such as Graphics Calculators. You will never see a Mathematician, Engineer or Scientist reach for...

    Plagiarism in the 2007 Paper!!!

    lol.. this is where i think the board needs detailed policy documents. instead they have some cheap dummed down pamphlets, and some online course which is terribly hard to print as one policy document.

    Why is my computer so slow?

    does removing dust actually improve things? i wouldn't think it would do anything.

    PLZ help- journeys other related text

    it does have a physical journey, but it is more an inner journey. but it all depends on what you are going to talk about. what is your thesis statment, what is your idea of a journey that you will talk about. often the question will subscribe you with this, but not always, and often you can...

    Why is my computer so slow?

    i don't have an ipod, hence i don't need it. I have been trying to do that in the last few weeks. I really want to, but i have no disk space for it, and i don't have a large enough download limit for it. i wasn't going to use ubuntu, i was going to use fedora.
