Howdy, sorry to sound cheap here, but -- is there any way to access the Young Writers Showcases' without buying it on the online eBOS store? Is it available in bookshops like Borders, Dymocks, etc? Or available on the, er, Internet? Cheers

If anyone can be bothered reading this and replying, then thank you so much! :angel: I'm not completely sure whether to take up 4U Math...I've read most of the 'If you're in YR 11, read this 1st' thread. For Ext1: - I averaged ~75% in 3U topic tests in YR 11 - I got 61% in the half-yearly and...

Howdy I'll be doing 4U starting Monday. I currently own the fx-82au, my bro has the fx-82au PLUS (which I find better). Seeing as I'll be doing ~2hrs Math a day for the coming 13 months, I may as well get as good a calculator as I can within regulations. What are my options? Heck, I'll pay...

Hi boys :P I've been accepted for Yr 12 next term. If I do end up going, I want to do 4U Math (+AdvEnglish+Physics+Chem). Apparently in term 4 we continue the 3U Math course, and late that term the whole grade sits a 3U exam, with the top 120 ranks making 4U....Meaning that I'll only have 9...

Is it true that we must paraphrase the essay question statement in our intro? That's the impression I've gotten this year, but when in exams I really feel that the question already there is fine, so I'd rather copy it. If I write anything else, it confuses me and then I've got two questions to...

Hey hey, I need some yearly past papers (with solutions) for Math 2U, Ext1 and Chemistry. Haven't checked in the Chem section yet, but unless I'm blind there's no more than a few 2U/3U Math yearlies with solutions in the 'Resources'. I only found a few from Blakehurst and Carlingwood...

Hi Just wondering how many final HSC trials/actual exams I'd have to sit for the following sets of subjects next year. Also would be interested in knowing the duration of the individual papers. Set 1: 4U Math Eng Adv Physics Chemistry Set 2: Math Adv 4U English Physics Chemistry Cheers

By ‘setup’ I mean how do you manage your bookwork/note-taking for each of your subjects? Where do you write your notes, put your sheets, answer questions? My handwriting’s terrible -- note-taking is slow, books are messy. Studying from my books is pointless: notes are strewn with random crap...

By ‘setup’ I men how do you manage your bookwork/note-taking for each of your subjects? Where do you write your notes, put your sheets, answer questions? Situation: Handwriting: painfully slow, messy Book: messy, strewn with random crap, answers w/o questions for, ugly cross-outs, sheets...

ie. starting a Prelim course in Yr 10? I've obviously missed that boat, but my sis in Yr 9 has been offered to for Economics. So, if she does choose to do Eco Prelim next year: - Will she only have to do 8 units in Yr 12, because she's already knocked over the Eco course previous year? - OR is...

When you enter your 'score' for each course into SAM, say I put '95' for Physics for the 'aligned HSC Mark'. Does this mean beating 95% of the course candidature in Physics, ie. my result for exam and internal course places me in the top 5%? Cheers

Asking a few q's in the Yr12 forum, as I'd prefer answers from peeps with experience and hindsight. 1) What the heck should I do these holidays? I'm considering knocking over some Yr12 2U math these holidays, OR practice heaps of essays (English my weakest subject). Wise, or should I spend my...

Got my half-yearly report...my previous thread contained my 'assumed' ranks, these are actual. Will update it with Chemistry which I haven't received yet. School ranked ~100. Math Adv -- 7/~70 Math Ext1 -- 10/28 Eng Adv -- 15/64 Eng Ext1 -- 6/21 Physics -- 1/35 Chem -- top 3/40 Cheers

:apig: ahem. Greetings. Not sure if this qualifies as 'News'... I overheard some peeps at school talking about the NSW Gov changing the Learner Driver's License eligibility age from 16 to 17 yrs old as of July 1. I didn't question them at the time -- too engrossed in Physics lol. Can anyone...

Howdy, my school is school ranked ~100 in NSW... Math Adv: 10/70 Math Ext1: 10/30 English Adv: 15/50 English Ext1: 15/30 Physics: 1/40 Chemistry: 15 / 40 Cheers!

:) Could anyone suggest poems related to both: - inner journeys - the 'Gothic' genre (vampires, supernatural, forests, castles, all that jazz) Something with a lot of meatiness/meaning. Suggestions of poets appreciated as well. I've got English assessments coming up on said topics where I...

Hey, I'm considering doing EE2 next yr, most probably a short story. I was wondering if its smart to start a draft or at least get an idea now? I'm aiming for 99.9 UAI so I'd be looking at getting >95 for Eng Adv, Ext1 and Ext2. That'd be swell if I were a genius, but...I'm not. :mad1: I'd...

Howdy all EE2er's, I'm considering doing EE2 next year, but I don't really know the rules with regard to Major Works. I've been a member of some writing forums (where members post up their short stories etc and get peer-reviewed). But say next year I post up bits of my major-work on the...

Ok... So my sis, currently in Yr9, is currently doing French and is considering doing it for HSC. I know it's early to judge ability and whatever, but she came 1st in French out of ~80 Yr8's at a top 10 school in NSW. I'm bloody incompetent and can't offer her any advice, so I have a few...

I'm planning to do Advanced English and maybe Ext.1 next year. What are the texts for at least Advanced English in Yr 12? Any mandatory ones or do we choose? I have some spare time to read considering its holidays and would like to be productive at the same time. :rudolf:
