    Ext 2 Eng and Ext 1 Maths

    Whewww... 3 extension subjects that's going to be a massive workload but hey if you think you can handle it I say go for it! If it is too much for you it's not like you can't drop Ext 2 English or another subject. Then again what do I know, I'm in year 11 too.

    Chemistry help

    Firstly set it out in ratio form, there's nothing new here just what we know already 1.86 C : 0.39 H : 2.75 Cl From here we want to get the atomic mass of the element and divide it into said element, eg; 1.86 divided by 12.01 = 0.15 (2dp) 0.15 : 0.39 : 0.08 (These are the answers I got with...

    How do you stop making silly/stupid mistakes in exams??

    You've probably heard it all from your teachers and whatnot but just in case someone here didn't, here's how I'd prevent silly mistakes in a maths exam. If the question shows you what it's worth, that's normally a good indicator of how many lines of working out you need. That being said you...

    D&T Portfolio Help

    In my mind, the portfolio will end up to be a messy diary with well written entries in one section then the next will be a sudden change because I came across a problem and needed to change it. I was just wondering how one would generally set out the all-important folio in terms of the layout...

    help in math 3!!

    Don't really want to be a jerk or anything but the inequality sign only switches when you divide or multiply by a negative number. Eg. -3y > 4 y < -4/3 Check: -3 x -4/3 = 4 therefore anything lower than -4/3 should turn out to be greater than 4 -3 x -5/3 = 5 So yea just for future...

    Crappy maths textbook?

    My school also gave my Ext 1 class MIF and so I far I find it dead easy. The layout of every exercise is pretty much straight forward then the very last question will be slightly more difficult. The pages in this thing are so thin I'm scared to turn the page.

    Nothing better than gathering your group of friends and laughing about what happened during the week and ordering pizza watching the telly til late every once and a while.

    Will choosing 'Creative' subjects lower my atar?

    Textiles is cool, I've seen a couple of nice major dresses made from recycled materials too. Then again I don't know much about textiles I mean I didn't even get to finish my pillowcase in year 8 :( Yea I can't wait to get started either and it is still early to really choose what we want to...

    Will choosing 'Creative' subjects lower my atar?

    If you choose subjects you do well at there's no need to worry about what subjects are going to lower your ATAR because you'll do well in them! In my opinion there's no real point in choosing... lets say Biology because it has a higher scaling than whatever other subject I mean if you don't...

    Which career path would you like to pursue in the future?

    Something as an architect/engineer. I mean I've always loved the idea of designing my very own building in the city and say... after I'm all old and grey I'll say to my grandkids when we're under the stars gazing upon the skyline of the CBD glowing with a warm pink blended with oranges and...

    Anyone attending a school in the Manly area?

    I may or may not be moving up to the northern beaches depending on various reasons but I'm leaning towards moving, just wondering if anyone that is attending a school in the Manly area and wondering how that school is for them, the kind of people the students and teachers are, facilities and...

    Where are you going for work experience?

    Ray White Real Estate! yea... for future work experience people PLAN AHEAD, you dont want to end up like me where you couldnt get your hands on an architecture / engineering firm close-by then get rejected by a pet shop which leaves you with the option of letting the school stick you somewhere...
