    Yr 11 Electives Advice please....

    Who do you think you are? Some people need 99+ to get into their undergraduate courses. If you are saying that there are alternative ways to study degrees through e.g. graduate stream, that's fine if YOU are the one who wants to do it. This is about others' lives and you are not in the place to...

    Yr 11 Electives Advice please....

    That's only Georgia Stenning and your opinion. It's ridiculous that you're instructing OP to do what you would have done. Many people find Chemistry interesting. Just because you don't, it doesn't mean that everyone in this world finds it uninteresting.

    Complex Locus

    Well, use geometric argument and just write the equation of the circle with restrictions. That's prob too much for a 2 marker but just to be safe.

    Complex Locus

    Yep, but exclude (-1,0), (0,1)

    Complex Locus

    I think geometric way is the best way.

    Difference between galvanic and electrolytic cell?

    I'd be very careful and not say that. Water can both be oxidised and reduced in an electrolytic cell. Yet, it doesn't have a +/- "valency." It's just a dipole. So you must mention molecules as well. I wouldn't say "valency" too... It's dodgy. Charge would be better.

    Dry cells!

    Well I'd guess it varies slightly depending on the battery but ammonium chloride is the main component. You can mention a few other aqueous components in an exam if you want but ammonium chloride (26%w/w if I correctly remember from Jacaranda - and yes, I memorised it for the HSC LOL) should...

    Question on dry cell and button cell.

    LOL actually, for those batteries (which were exactly the ones I used for HSC Chem), Jacaranda Chemistry seemed the most reliable (I figured it out by comparing to various internet sources, etc).

    Yeah I saw it just now. LOL... Prob all those humanities/arts people did bad in general while the gap between good and bad marks increased (around the band 6 region).

    2009 HSC School Rankings

    LOL I thought we did well but school rank actually dropped. Prob there were more of both academically 'good' people and 'bad' people.

    Dry cells!

    Trust Jacaranda for this one.

    Good Tips for Year 11 Preliminary and tips to aim for 99.5 ATAR

    For Usyd combined med, the only assumed knowledge is that of the degree that medicine is combined with. I.e. If I do advanced science-medicine (which I will), MX1 or 2u maths is assumed due to the adv sci degree. They don't care what level of English applicants did for the HSC. And the...

    Locus question!

    Yeah but it's a hassle lol. 3u maths allows easier method.

    Locus question!

    Let P(x,y) be a point on the required circle. AP_l_BP from circle geometry - if you do 3u maths (angle in a semicircle=90 degrees) m(AP) x m(BP) =-1 (y+5/x-2)(y-3/x+4)=-1 y^2+2y-15=-(x^2+2x-8) x^2+2x+y^2+2y-23=0

    Good Tips for Year 11 Preliminary and tips to aim for 99.5 ATAR

    I don't know about other courses, but for UNSW med, Chemistry is recommended. (and English Standard is assumed)
