    Superannuation calculator

    I think he just wants it to check his answer for a question, not to take into the hsc, yeah? i've never seen one of these online calculators, but what was the question?

    Rounding in Physical Applications of Calculus

    I suppose it would depend on how the question was worded. If it said to the nearest month, then you would say 2 years and 11 months - like we usually round off any number. If it asked the date, or in what month would it occur, you'd say October (or whatever it was 2 years and 10.6 months...

    Creative Writing Questions.

    Yeah, that's the one! I can't remember them either... deleted from my memory, they were pretty crap =P I remember doing it on that picture too! I stressed out heaps on the spot, and even though I had other ideas I started writing about some social outcast... UGH! So stereotyped! These...

    Should you memorise a generic essay or write your essay on the spot in exams?

    It comes down to the whole flexibility thing - do you want to risk getting a really left-of-field question, only to struggle in trying to manipulate your pre-memorised essay to fit the question? For many, a very generalised pre-written essay with plenty of room for alteration is comforting and...

    Creative Writing Questions.

    Our school did the CSSA Trial papers for English, and I am hoping to get a copy of the Creative Writing question - it had 6 really different visual stimuli to choose from. Does anyone have this? If not, I will try and get it from my teacher. Here's some questions I've encountered in class or...

    howr u waking up for the hsc exams and at what time?

    wow, i have the same problem, depending on which exam it is tho! My aim is to get at least 7 hours sleep before each exam...trying to figure out how to get to sleep before english exam, it freaks me out! I have my phone alarm...but come to think of it, maybe more than one alarm is a good...

    Parametrics

    No - I'm pretty sure you have to also state the vertex and focus. We had a question like this in our trials and some people lost a mark for not mentioning them, even though the question didn't explicitly state that you had to show these co-ordinates. Either way, it's only one line, and it...

    13 years of our lives leading up to this moment..

    This is an exciting and nerve-racking time, and I think you've captured that beautifully! Can I just say this though - The HSC is important, and I'm sure most of us are feeling some significant pressure right now. For me, an absolute worry-wort, I know that I am constantly questioning...

    UMAT 2009 Official Results

    lol... i had a sneaking suspicion it was a troll - but seriously, anyone who cares about entering some form of medical practise isn't going to completely ignore a possible release date - nothing has been lost in hoping, so to criticise someone only indicates your insensitivity towards such a...

    Neck pain while studying.

    Hi =] I get neck and back pain sometimes. It's often due to posture, and inactivity (sounds like you've been slaving away at your books for long hours!) Personally, I'd go for the natural approach. Here's some suggestions: - Invest in a heat pack, either gel or rice filling. These can be...

    All teachers are biased to some degree

    I have to agree with this. Some more than others - they're only human. I like it when some of my teachers request us to use our bored of studies student numbers as opposed to our names - just reduces the favouritism so that you know you really earned your mark. Actually, I have a question...

    Use of the word 'gay'...

    When you call someone a "homo" i guess it is generally directed at males, and unless they are homosexual themselves, you will be emasculating them by insulting their sexuality, thus their ego is taking a hit (generally speaking). i don't really like using the word, but it just comes out...

    Chemistry or Economics?

    I don't do economics, but I do chemistry and I must say I really like it (will refrain from using the word 'love' though...lol). Chemistry is ONLY dry and boring if you: a) don't understand what's going on; and/or b) don't have an interest in sciences as a whole. Chemistry has the potential...
