Gosford High jumps back into top 20 this year (from like 34 or so). Two 99.95 for sure. Might get let down by bottom end. Also no boys school makes the top 5. ?

@OP: Maybe try using SAM again, cos i put in 95s in your subjects and it came up with a 98 atar. Mind you, dont do senior science, its a joke.

@57o1i They wouldnt be doing them alphabetically if 'someone' received a call @ midday for an m subject because i know a certain person who got a call at around 4 for a significantly earlier subject. Also, maybe they told Sen Lin the wrong thing accidentally so they had to call again.

Generally the kids are more motivated, so it means you are more motivated too. However, if your the type of kid that can't stand being beaten and gets disheartened if you are beaten, then ATAR wise don't go. That said, if you are that kid you probably should go to kick some sense into you...

Thanks I thought she was pretty full of shit... the girl who said it tends to be a bit attention seeking like that, exaggerating and lying and all. Oh well, what about for other subjects like the sciences or languages?

None, especially not Maths or English. If you are having trouble, drop down to a lower level or pull your finger out of your arse. You can get practice from the plethora of resources in the internet eg boredofstudies. So it isnt as if you need tutoring for practice. I mean if you are sick or go...

The top two kids in year 12 at my school both got estimates of 99.95, however neither of them have ever had tutoring. Also, neither of them have obsessive parents. One kids parents want him to study less in fact because he has no life (mind you the other person is rather normal, just organised...

Theres a slightly quicker way to solve than using these simultatenous equations that our class got taught. Since (a^2 + b^2)^2 = a^4 + b^4 + 2a^2b^2 = (a^2-b^2)^2 + 4a^2b^2 = (a^2 -b^2)^2 + (2ab)^2 Now since a^2 - b^2 = 9 {eqn...

Just curious, what kind of hsc marks are required to get a state rank in different kinds of subjects. I was just wondering because someone said today at school that their sister came like top 10 in the state for business but only got a mark of 94. It just seemed kind of low to me considering a...

A girl from my school just found out that she got nominated. She did a series of absolutely incredible portraits title 'I Paint Therefore I am" which depicted various people and other things which contributed to her sense of self.

The varies religious texts provide no evidence whatsoever that god exists. However, there is also no evidence that god does not exist. It's one thing to disregard formalised religions because you feel they've caused harm, but that doesn't mean a god doesn't exist. Besides all that, if a...

You aren't dumb if you get tutoring, but by no means do you need tutoring to do well in the HSC. If its maths or a science based subject see your teacher first if you need help with something before going to a tutor, their job extends beyond merely the classroom. Also, some school have scheduled...

7-10 ranks mean absolutely nothing, as no one took it seriously. I hope I can keep all my ranks from Y11 going into Y12. Hopefully having English out of the way will make things easier. I guess the big thing is just time management and using your free periods efficiently. I think there will be a...

Heaps of people in my year are doing both extensions. Theres quite a few people doing Ext english and maths. It depends on how hard you work, much you like the subjects, and how talented you are at them. Honestly, doing 14 units is more of an issues than doing both extensions. Just take them and...

Thats genius! Why not do the whole paper twice? ....... I so wish I'd written an extra belonging essay now. Hey OP, do you think 2 add. texts would be ok if they were in different essays?

If you enjoy doing art keep doing it, don't worry about scaling. It seems as if youre talking a lot about chem a lot, but with no clear reason why. It isn't as if you would use all your frees from VA to do chem. That would probably be quite silly any way. You never know how everything will...

From talking to people who did philosophy last year, they said you mainly needed a band 6, but obviously the higher the better. This year will probably be more competitive for spots given that philosophy is the only course, so you will probably need a bit higher than 90. Don't get too...

Atwood and Deane :( Atwood worked fine, deane was a bit dodgy. Definetely my worst module. I'm amazed at how many people did Sadat, I dont think anyone from my school did.

thank you very much. I did the one from 2003 i think it was, where they asked you to find the area under the curve using something similar to the trapezoidal rule, except the curve was divided into uneven intervals. It was absolutely obscene.

Hey. If anyone could post past trial papers from James Ruse for 2U that would be much appreciated. Or even just q9 and 10 would help. Thanks heaps :)
