Why do they award you 5 adjustment points for band 5 or 6 for english at unsw? (1 Viewer)

Because everyone who gets good marks in this trivial subject are absolutely morons at math, struggling to get even a 60% in Math Advanced (at my school). Therefore this doesn't prove intelligence. Just for perspective, they only award 2 points for band 6 in physics or chemistry. Quite unfair that someone who got a band 6 in a worthless subject can get a higher selection rank than you if you did good on the harder subject - physics or chem. Funfact: A Levels, which is the UK equivalent of HSC doesn't require you to do english, even though those people founded the english language.

Also why does USYD even award you for band 3 or 4 in advanced math? You have to be mentally disturbed to get that low.

Funny how Macquarie Uni awards you adjustment factors for extension 2 english but not extension 2 math for Actuarial Studies, a subject that requires math, not the latter. Who are these admissions people, clearly they have never touched math other than basic addition and multiplication in their life.

you have a right to remain silent buddy why are you dobbing on yourself. you sound mad that you're flopping english advanced AND you're using a crazy combination of anecdotal evidence and poor logic to have a sook abt it online

to answer your question unis are desperate to get more ppl to join and pay them money so they'll hand out adjustment factors like candy so more ppl are eligible to hand over their cash and sanity. i thought this was common sense
