    First round interview offers

    I'm just hearing all these stories about people getting super high ranged ATARs and mid 90's UMAT and not doing med in either UWS/UNSW.. an this really scares me. Is the 93.55 a definite cut off? or is it just where they start accepting people... eg. 90 spots and top 90 who have the ATAR above...

    First round interview offers

    I go to Fort Street High School and I'm ranked about 60 out of 150 kids, would I be able to get a high band 5/low band 6 with this? Also, I'm elegible for a GWS application for UWS.. What would the ATAR requirement roughly be for me? Thanks for all the replies!

    First round interview offers

    Oh, and @Dylanamali , When you say aim for a high rank, doesn't that mean doing well in your internal? I don't get how you can stuff up an assessment mark and still get a high rank :/

    Discuss the potential of cellulose as a raw material.

    I'd say you'd get a 1 or a 2 if you're lucky. The question is a DISCUSS, therefore you have to present PROS AND CONS in your answer- and seeing that it's a 3 marker I'd assume the criteria would be a least 2 pros and 2 cons. You've only addressed 1 and a half of the PROS section, meaning your...

    Differences and similarities between the 3 HSC dot point books

    I think I know you.... Sydney Tech? Anyway, First one is short / a few long response answers that closely follow the syllabus.... MINUS the pracs. Disadvantage is it barely touches on pracs, which are important. PHYSICS INVESTIGATIONS covers all of the pracs that you'll be doing in class...

    Relationship between homeostatis and feedback??

    Hi, I'm really confused about this concept of "feedback". What my understanding of it is, homeostatis involves the detection and response of a CHANGE. The mechanism that brings about this change is referred to as feedback. Is this correct? Also, what does the statement "In Feedback...
