    Share your 2012 HSC results here

    Sure, yeah I worried about the same thing when I started the HSC. My school rank was about 300, however our cohort's performance in 2011 was pretty bad. Our cohort was very similar to the cohort in 2010, achieving a rank of around 150.

    Do Protostars go to Red Giants before our Main Sequence Sun?

    I'm wondering about the life cycle of the stars of 1 solar mass, 5 solar mass and 10 solar masses, and I am receiving conflicting results. For 1 solar masses, does this occur? Nebula -> Protostar -> Red Giant -> Main Sequence Type G -> Red Giant -> Nova -> Planetary Nebula -> White Dwarf...

    Determining the gradient of a line.

    If there is a question that says, using the graph, determine the slope of the line, is the following way acceptable? The line starts at (0,0) and finishes at roughly (1, 1.6). You know it passes through exactly at (0.4, 0.6). Can you do m = 0.6/0.4? My teacher advises us to use the full...

    General Thoughts: Mathematics Ext 1

    What do you think the state rank mark would be? Would 68/70 be too low?

    Do you reckon it will matter if I did sqroot(900 + 1 - 30cosa) instead of sqroot(901 - 30cosa)?

    HSC Aligning and ATAR Calculation

    Can someone confirm that I'm understanding the whole alignment and scaling process correctly? Let's say Math Extension 2. Say the cutoff for an E4 is 70% and you get 70% raw in the test. This will then be aligned to a 90 HSC Examination Mark. (Let's just say the Assessment Mark was the same)...

    How many pages did you write for each section?

    5 for each Module - and I'm pretty certain that I wrote a tiny bit more than 3000 words (I do write small).

    Hand writing...

    That's brutal coming from a teacher. Another maths teacher came into my maths class one day and saw my writing. She told me a story of how she encountered a head teacher/deputy (I can't remember which one) and commented on his small writing. Her comment was along the lines of "small writing...

    Hand writing...

    The teachers all absolutely loath my handwriting - mainly due to its small size. Any suggestions on improving over the next 6 weeks?
