    general question

    As long as it's not something too obscure....I'm fairly sure you can abbreviate things like 'eternal sunshine of the spotless mind' to 'eternal sunshine'. But I wouldn't bother abbreviating things like 'leaving home' Just be prudent abvout it. If its likely to annoy the markers because they...

    Advanced Englishhhh Help: how to study

    Re: Advanced Englishhhh Help! I like doing a mixture of both. Essentially you should have a skeleton essay plan filled with quotes/techniques etc that are memorised. Then you can insert key words from the question as padding around this skeleton. I find this works particularly well for modules...

    Oh Dear!

    IMO....if you're a serious stresser/freaker outerer then forget your doing the hsc. Don't put the "HSC" on a pedestal and make it a big scary monster. Just forget its happening. Now, start getting the books out for 2 hours at a time and force yourself to take notes/do practice quesitons....then...

    Stress/ Relaxation tablets advertised???

    sif stress...I agree with exphate. Lead a balanced lifestyle, walk into the exam calm with the knowledge that you've done enough study. Drugs and medication are hardly going to help. If you're really stressed, drink some Chai Tea, but really you shouldn't be that bad.

    Drawing Displacement from Velocity (Motion Graph)

    Yes, to find displacement from a velocity time graph take the integral of the curve between whichever two approriate end-points (limits of integration). Remember the distinction between displacement and distance though. If trying to find distance, split the integral up and take the absolute...

    How to Perform Flame test?

    lol...we were heaps dodgy. We got a heating basin and poured some of the substance of interest in, add conc HCl and direct bunsen flame into it. Observe colour. Reminsice about dodginess of performed pracs.

    How many Skrzynecki Poems?

    Typically you'd want to address 2 Skrzynecki poems in considerable depth. 1 BOS Stimulus text and at least one related text. I only do one, but I do it in considerable depth, others prefer to do two. It really depends on how in depth you go and how much you can write in 40 minutes. In my...

    polystyrene

    I guess it depends how you define types. Both extruded (meaning you get the heated liquid polystyrene and blow air through it as it sets) and expanded result from the polymerisation reaction of ethenylbenzene. So they can be shaped in two different ways which results in them having different...

    Need advice/tips/help - 2 exams in one day

    Re: Need advice/tips/help Whatever you do...DO NOT skip lunch in order to cram. If you don't know it by then, the stressful cramming period won't help. You're better off having a decent lunch to replenish energy and if there's a few things you want to revise then read over your notes while...

    Displacement Reactions

    Eventually the reaction will stop as the cell also relies on concentration of reactants....once the Mg concentration becomes too high the displacement reaction will no longer be favoured so it will stop.

    how much study are you doing a day?

    it varies really.....been doing 6-7 hours for the past couple of days....but so far this morning i've been on BOS instead of AOS lol...see what i did there!!! kkthxbai

    How many subjects to study a day?

    I like to mix it up quite a lot. So one subject all day is definitely NOT for me. 6 hours of Chemistry/English....shoot me now! For me, 2-2.5 hours works best. So i tend to alternate doing 3 or 4 subjects a day. Though having said that, if I get into a really good rhythm on one subject I'll...

    so...... hot....... can't.... study.....

    I detest the hot weather...much rather study when its freezing cold and raining than hot like this. Not only is it uncomfortable trying to write when you're sweating so much...not only is it easier to warm up than cool down.......but its just so nice outside, making me hope schoolies will be...

    how much study are you doing a day?

    Get yourself a study timetable and make yourself stick to it. When you write it all down you'd be surprised how little it looks, and then pleased when you see all the blank spaces that mean breaks. Also, you don't have to be doing fifty bagillion hours a day to go well. Remember that 5 or 6...
