    HSC Maths Exam Gets an F for Failing Our Students

    and herein lies the problem with the ATAR/HSC system "assuming your future study aligns with the subjects you took" The primary pathway into university from high school for most of the more "prestigeous" universities/courses (for worse, imo), is ATAR. ATAR has no concept of the subjects you...

    equilibrium

    Pretty sure that yeah it'll shift to the left, since increase pressure -> increase concentration of all gases -> Le Chetalier's -> minimise change in concentration -> favour reverse reaction -> shift to left

    Seriously - why the hell is English compulsory?

    According to https://educationstandards.nsw.edu.au/wps/portal/nesa/11-12/hsc/about-HSC/history-of-the-HSC It appears that English has always been compulsory (since the introduction of the HSC)

    vectors application (forces?) qn

    This is really a physics question tbh (Cambridge moment) Think about the net force on the green mass. (Hint: F_{net} = ma, F_{net} = F_g - T) (nvm my sol was wong)

    Atar Predictor

    All you can do at this point is wait and see. Have a backup plan for if you don't get the 69 atar required. Best of luck :)

    is state rank still possible?

    That disadvantages MX1-only students from getting state rank. Some schools may not offer MX2, or a student may be accelerated, or a student may have missed some arbitary cuttoff for MX2 and significantly lifted their game (yes, this can happen). Why should such a student be excluded from SR?

    is state rank still possible?

    Iirc this only works one way. MX1 results are taken into account for MX2 SRs but not MX2 for MX1.

    is state rank still possible?

    Sorry but nearly impossible. You'll still get an amazing mark though! But probably no sr (generally need to drop 0-1 marks for sr, so even for a hard year, you're going to be outside of the sr range).

    Subject Selection for Year 11, 2022

    Why would they make a class that forces you into standard and not just start w standard?? Whats the point

    Mathematics Extension 1 HSC thoughts

    Two thoughts on notme's answers; I'm pretty sure that 13c is false. It says is g the inverse of f, NOT the inverse function of f. Isn't the inverse simply the reflection in y=x? This would mean that arcsin(x) is not the inverse as it doesn't cover the full range of the inverse. For 14d, isn't...

    Physics and No Maths.

    There is no complicated maths in physics... it's all y10 or below math. Conceptually maths is helpful, but any actual use of maths is not complex

    BoS trials Maths and Chemistry 2022

    Not sure if my method is actually correct. But what I essentially did was Define the binomial variable with a known n but an unknown p Use this to define the sample proporiton variable & the sample proportion's mean and standard deviation (in terms of p) From the question P(phat < 4%) = 2.5%...

    I'm interested, how do you do 14a in ext 1? That really threw me..

    Can i get 90+ atar with these results?

    Most probably that's a bad decision. You can probably boost English with much less work as it would take to equally boost all your other subjects to compensate.

    CASIO fx-8200 AU - new calculator coming next year.

    From that one photo; The menu: looks significantly more intuitive - but looks a bit slower to navigate - I don't have to think about the numbers I need to use to navigate to do things quickly after using the FX-100AU for a while. The blue is bad, largely cause of the contrast being poor...

    atar estimate?

    Mate this guy asked for an atar estimate in 2021 and you gave it 11 months late, I don't think you're in a position to say skill issue

    Am inforced to repeat

    This is a large problem as I don't believe you are eligible for an ATAR if you don't complete 12 units of year 11. Talk to your principal/deputy ASAP, and see what is ACTUALLY going on, as this should be a warning, not an actual N award.

    Getting a 99+ with 2 units of music 1

    For sure you can do that. Do your best for externals and it will pull through
