I believe his aggregate is 379/500 ?

Our physics course does not deal with Einstein's general relativity, that clarifies the awkwardness people have mentioned above - an important factor is that the SPACESHIP was the object that accelerated away from earth, effectively entering a new space-time. The earth did not accelerate. This...

duder, the HSC isn't worth enough to consume your emotions like that. All that matters is getting into Uni, if you want, and if you don't get in there are SO many ways to get in otherwise - and once people are in, your uai is totally irrelevant. And english suxor. :p

I do Skrzynecki. They have never ever state 'discuss 2 items' from your prescribed text for the AoS. Look at some past HSC papers. I talked about 3.

the UAI calculator thingy (ozseeker) seems to tell me that only 3% of the candidature will get band 6 in physics.

Yeah, she is a ridiculously awesome teacher man. SO lucky to have her. But she does expect a lot. I just hope it all pays off. I really do think our class is pretty damn strong. physics was really really disappointing. Last year I was coming first the whole year, then ended up 3rd...

hmmm okay. I really need to push that up to above 99. I fiddled around with some calculators, and found that if I perform as well in maths as I'm doing at the moment, and make band 6 in all other subjects except english (which would be high band 5), I could get 99.85. I'm aiming high...

Do you mean for Latin?? Well, first, our teacher is methodical, but also very pragmatic. NSBHS always has a really strong latin class methinks, so she is only familiar with very good people, and only expects very good-ness. But I talked to people in other schools, who had top marks around...

thanks man. I would be really surprised if latin didn't count. I don't know. I know the trial mark and rank looks low, but it's actually a really really strong class, and the teacher has told us repeatedly that we could all easily band 6. I would seriously disappoint myself if I didn't get...

Yar... the irony that instead of typing this message I could actually IMPROVE my mark. Let's just ignore that for a moment: English Advanced: Trial = 81/100. Final ranking = 21/160 English Ext 1: Trial = 45/50. Final Ranking = 7/65 Maths Ext 1: Trial = 96/100. Final Ranking = 1/118...

I'm afraid it gets much much worse than that... Cast your eyes down two dot points, and you'll notice this: "Describe the occurrence in superconductors below their critical temperature of a population of electron pairs unaffected by electrical resistance." then, "discuss the BCS theory"...

Yes, it's true, some of the physics syllabus is effectively retarded. I am speaking through the blinding frustration of summarising the unit 'From ideas to Implementation' for my 3rd assessment block starting on monday. Anywho, this: "Indentify Plancks hypothesis that radiation emitted...

John doesn't know any better. He's conditioned too, you know. Conditioned by Shakespeare, the Savage Reservation, his mother.... I find Bernard much more irritating. John has a repect for other characters - he has the ability to love and care (Linda). Bernard is utterly selfish. He...

+:: $i[Q]u3 ::+ (if that is your real name...) - I agree with you. I think you're missing the point again Daedalus. The large picture is that the English syllabus is retarded. The rationale behind it being mandatory is that people were getting 100 in their UAI, then doing medicine and not...

I think you're missing the point. It's unfortunate that the English syllabus encourages memorising like this...
