    SDD scaling for this year

    From memory, there was a bit of a political drama going on with 4 Unit maths scaling in 1989/90. The perception was that the scaling algorithm resulted in 4 Unit maths scaled marks being inflated. This was thought to be a consequence of them not being included in the initial 2 Unit scaling or 3...

    2 Questions From 2001 Asq Girls High Trial HSC

    It's a selection sort. You don't have to use a single array, thats just a more convenient implementation. I suspect the answer is supposed to be the ESCape character but who knows! I suspect this is a question relating to something the've done at their particular school. You wont be asked...

    Flip Flops

    The important thing to remember is that the resting state of the RS NOR latch is when both inputs are zero. This is the way the latch is for most of its life. It is only when you wish to alter the bit stored that a pulse (one) is applied to the appropriate input. If voltage is applied to the Set...

    SDD notes to upload

    I agree with Lazarus, whose comments are right on the money. If only those students who would have done 3 unit had sat for SDD last year then one would expect SDD to have scaled similiarly to the old 3 unit course ie. a bit higher. In fact for these students it probably did. It is wrong to just...

    Flip Flops

    The operation of flip-flops (or more correctly, the latch or storage or feedback part of the flip-flop) is difficult to explain fully in a textbook. An interactive demo is what's really needed, a good one, with good explanations can be found at...
