"Internal and external marks both count. according to my HSC sheet: External: 50 Internal: 48 Total HSC Mark: 49 (the mark used for my UAI calcuation)" It's not the average. The mark you get is the average between what you score personally in the external exam and the score of the...

The locus there is correct. It's easier to do arg(w)=1/2pi + k pi and then expand and find the locus geometrically though.

Maths is actually vey subjective especially at a higher level and when teachers start to take the elegance of the solution into consideration. Of course this only applies to the last one or two quetions of the 4u paper since the other questions are just trivial speed exercises.

Well if you want to live your life being ignorant of deeper issues, feel free to do so. Still, I don't see how having a critical perspective is detrimental. I do hate English but it is very important especially for academia in Uni and elsewhere. There should be a compulsory 2 units of englinsh...

Re: Olympiad letter I got in to maths and phys but i don't know which one to go to. And it's due on the 20th. Thats 4 days away!!!

U don't need to study for any of the SC. If u can add subtract multiply and do trig, u'll get at least 90. Computer Studies is just trivial.

No they don't release marks but 3 or 4 of the teachers at my school are involved in the camps so some of the teacher's pets can find out.

I think I should mention that u only need 28 to get an HD but to get to the camp takes so much more. Possibly 40+. I'm not sure? Got HD in 06 and 05 with scores of like 29 and 32 but nowhere near the camps.

OMG!! That paper was not easy! 01 to 06 was so much easier. What do u need to get into the camps? I think i only got 40 or so out of 50. BTW, MCQ was trivial, Q11 & Q14 was easy, Q12 was too obscure, too many answers and Q13 doable but very lond and variable answers.
