Although I get the basics of what the experiment was about, there are some aspects of it I don't understand completely. Like, why the light was made to travel across ether, with and against ether, and what the interference pattern was meant to show. Different sources seem to explain different...

^ Yes, I understand why people say scaling isn't everything, but when it comes to such a difficult decision, the scaling is definitely something to thing about. So can anyone answer the last two questions I have - I thank the people who answered the above, and thanks to anyone who answers the...

So Without Wings, by "similar figures towards your UAI" do you mean there won't be much of a difference between the two subjects in the HSC? Because, personally, I think in that case I'd prefer Physics as it seems more useful. BTW, to Dark Phoenix, I also do Chemistry, Economics, Maths 4U...

I need some advice. First off, I'm not entirely sure how the scaling between subjects works, so if someone can explain that, it would be great. I'm especially considering the subjects Physics and Legal Studies, in deciding which one to drop. However, it gets more complicated. I got the school...

Thanks a lot guys. I've decided to stick with Economics, due to the many recommendations of others. I can work on my Economics mark if required, the scaling seems substantially better than Legal Studies, and since it gets more interesting in Year 12... Plus, it will most likely be more useful...

But the thing is, I'm currently doing 13 units, I want to drop a subject and take up Ext 2 Maths. About the scaling, that's not going to make much of a difference, is it? Won't it matter more how far above the average I am? In Legal I am 7 points above, Eco I am 3 points above. At the moment...

I was wondering whether Eco was a prerequisite/recommendation for any Uni course. Considering my options before ditching it. My teacher isn't that good, parts of the course are difficult to understand and I take ages to do work without getting back the results I thought I would get. I am...

Preliminary: 3U Maths 2U English Physics Chemistry Economics Legal Studies HSC: 4U Maths 2U English Physics Chemistry Economics Reasons: I'm good at Maths, so I extended. So, as a consequence I needed (to preserve my sanity) to cut down to 12 Units and there was a toss-up between Legal and...

I'm curious to know how many people here are doing any/all of the Science Olympiads. I'm doing Chemistry and Physics. How do you feel about the difficulty? How much preparation have you put into it?

Graphing is particularly important in Physics pracs, so make sure you are familiar with the linear/inverse relationships. I had one prac this year on Electricity, and it involved an electromagnet. So... I suggest studying broadly and know your concepts fairly well. The bottom line is make sure...

Most people are commenting that the workload has risen dramatically. For me, I don't feel that much of a difference. My free time has slightly declined, but there isn't that much I planned to do with it anyway. I just have had to push myself a little harder than last year and that's about it...

Re: Preliminary HSC Assessments-Thoughts/Results v1.0 My first English assessment went well, got 19/20, and it's worth 10%. But I'm always pretty good at English. Just had the first week of my half-yearlies. English went well, while everything else was OK/random. Studied for Economics which I...

I am in the middle of my half-yearlies. English went well, my first Maths exam went OK, Legal and Chem were both random. So... I have no idea how I went. Still got Eco and Physics to study this weekend :sleep:
