people have their own strengths but i get 2u isnt the hardest of subjects, but i feel like instead of blaming them, you should be held accountable for your own english performance

My year (2024) scaled unusually lower than the other years. Based on this fact, I infer my year had too many fucking drop kicks (which was out of my control)

Legit I can blame them all I want.

Just look at this graph, you see 2024's curve. The only explanation for that minimum point is cause of a fucking asshole retarded cohort.

Only my mark range was effected by this scaling bs. Every other mark is totally unaffected. (so no, it had nothing to do with the fact 2024's exam was easier (it wasn't anyway))

is it not your fault for getting in that range though, like YOU got the 60 raw

The English teacher also told me "I'm dragging everyone in the class down" in a bid to get me to drop to fucking standard English.

Like shut the fuck up, I'm also getting dragged down by the entire state cause y'all can't even fucking scrape 20/100 in two unit of maths.





This begs the question, why can't the vast majority do basic 2 unit maths?

well if you had just done better, there would have been no issue but instead you continue to blame others

the teacher blamed me first, so I'm hitting them back with the same energy.

I legit lose 10 scaled marks since the vast English cohort in the entire state couldn't do fucking 2u of maths in the year 2024 - apparently 2024 2u maths was soooo hard, despite it being quite a surface level paper ever.

did you even try for english though?

It's not even about trying, I clearly tried harder than people who can't even a 20% in math (despite getting 5s and 6s in English).

You're telling me someone who gets a 19/100 in 2u maths has a higher atar contribution than me who got a 60/100 in english advanced?

You don't have to try to get a 19/100. I could've gotten a 30/100 from year 10 in math advanced. Yet UAC still gives them a higher atar contribution.

UAC scales maths too high at the low end (raw 20), while English too low at the mid end (raw 60).

thats quite unfortunate, but theres nothing you can do about it. Out of curiosity what atar are you even aiming for

85. I would've been in a much safer position had I actually gotten those 10 points. 340/500 scaled marks is what I need and I come dangerously close to not hitting it, mostly cause of English (39/100)

you better hope 3u and 4u clutch up then, but those weren't the hardest either so scaling might not be the best

yup, im in a good position for 3u, but for 4u idk cause the fucking dropkicks might drag down my assessment mark (like how they dragged down my 2u assessment mark from 92 -> 90)

4Us scaling goes crazy anyways, a few marks here or there wont really do much i imagine

 

[coolcat6778]

Don't rush the multiple choice section, it could make a difference between getting a band 5 or band 6.

Don't be verbose, being verbose doesn't get you any more marks

you shouldn't have heeded any of this advice, given the 2025 physics exam was a pile of . the physics exam this time was a legit english exam (3 essays), meaning u had to verbosely write. MCQ was also piss easy and silly this year

This advice only held true for theory questions (i did score full marks on most (actual) theory questions by just writing within the line count, most notably the uniform vs inverse square gravitational one).

 

[GoldenMango]

Should've dropped to standard or do better in advanced mate. It's on you, no point in blaming others in your inability to do good in english

Doing the maths it means you need 76/100 - seeing as you do/did physics, chem, mx1 and mx2 you should be good?? Of course it depends on how you did in physics

 

[BionicMango]

I just put english adv, mx1&2, physics and chem in uac’s calculator and getting an 80 in everything except english adv (60) gets you 87.5 so yeah
You’ll get there!

Also just based on your signature you’re ATSI right? Doesn’t that mean that you’re able to get lowered atar cutoffs for many courses/higher selection ranks?

bring back the lc

with so many students doing accelerated programs, so many going to tutoring companies after school, so many syllabuses overseas so far ahead of nsw, i reckon it’s time to consider bringing back the lc.

many teachers don’t even know how hsc started. it came about as a result of the wyndham scheme in the 1950s replacing the 3-year ic and 2 year lc with a 4 year sc and 2 year hsc.

the result in 1967 was for the first time in nsw there was a year 12 and they had to wait an extra year before going to uni, and most students going into first year uni were forever after 1 year older than before

undoing the wyndham scheme and bringing back the lc would mean 5 years for high school, not 6 before going to uni. it would also mean first year uni students 1 year younger like it was before.


that be wyndham
