Stronger HSC standards-future syllabus changes made by BOSTES

[conic curve]

Man. The good thing is that it's going to be implemented after I've learnt this stuff. The bad thing is that even then how will I know what extent the HSC goes into and how to help students out haha

Um, you could try to self learn it and through that you could help others out...

Oh nah I had a look. 100% of the content I will have done at uni before the syllabus gets implemented

I just don't know what's the restriction on HSC content

What do you mean?

[RuiAce]

Uni level questions will be substantially harder than some high school questions conic lol

And also may examine more concepts at once

Also, solid thread rename haha

True

Yeah I know haha. I changed it so then it could make more sense to people who could not understand what I was talking about whenever they read the title of the thread

I think for the chemistry syllabus they are introducing moles as part of the first topic

They are having "units" and "modules" now, something we don't really have.

I don't really think we have the "history of science" anymore

When I checked, Lavoisier, Davy and Arrhenius are still there

But otherwise yeah.

I don't think that they're a major part of the syllabus though. To my knowledge, they're currently in the metals module and nothing else. Is Mendeleev still there?

[RuiAce]

Acid-base theories are currently in the HSC, not prelim.

I didn't mean their periodic table development if that's what you interpreted, sorry

Whoops, I'm not up to that yet hahaha

I don't think they will integrate the history of science in physics though...

Do they still have implications to society?

Lol Im a bit late to the party so just bear with me..

I wouldve loved to do Extension Science Picked Senior (from Chem) thinking it would be more like all sciences but its really just a revision/bit of progression from Year 10 Science

Plus Mathematics with Reference Sheet + No geometry = heaps good!! Why couldnt these changes have happened just 3 years earlier... Oh well. Life sucks

Nah feel free to come in anytime 

Do you mean extension Senior science or extension physics/chemistry?

IDK they planned it to be like that

Very, very envious of Extension Science and many of the changes to the Maths curriculums (particularly the additions of Matrices, which almost every other state focuses on the entire year because it's pretty much all the maths you'll need for the first few years of Uni)

It's interesting how matrices got put in 2U

(P.S. I'm envious of physics)

They're not putting it in 4U maths though

Rightfully so! Matrices are easy once you get the hang of it, it should be a 2U method, and 4U students will still learn it
