    Passing mark for kurt entrance exam

    1. Yes thats right, even if you get in you'll never know the mark you got. 2. Kurt mostly determines if you get in on an individual case by looking at your answers to see if you know what you are doing 3. Just try your best, don't worry about the passing mark. Good luck!

    Chatswood is pretty smart because of the top selective students(I think there's generally about 3-5 99 ATAR's) they mostly carry the school ranking(with some help from other selective/Gifted and talented students.)

    how many hours of study

    The sample papers released by Nesa are only 17/18(out of 20) because it would defeat the purpose if people could just copy someone else's 20/20 and use it in HSC.

    Why is AUS in a recession and was not in a recession during the GFC? Was it because of China?

    I agree that MP was another effective tool in the GFC but when you say that "Because MP can't be used effectively anymore is also why I think unemployment increased so much because interest rates can't be decreased further." I don't agree with that part because the UE increase was inevitable...

    Why is AUS in a recession and was not in a recession during the GFC? Was it because of China?

    Absolutely because they were both effective supports to help increase AD of the Aus eco. 1. China was demanding large amount of commodities to build infrastructure and stimulate the eco(Avoid recession) 2. Economic stimulus helped lift the level of AD by giving money out which would be respent...

    Difference between FULL selective and PARTIAL selective school?

    I used to go Chatswood High(was my 3rd/4th preference?) in the selective stream, reading some of these comments, I didn't really feel a selective vs mainstream(there was also a gifted and talented class.) I was able to transfer into a fully selective school and it's incredibly different...

    anyone know the total cost of the stimulus program?

    It was around $210 billion including the $130 billion Jobkeeper stimulus but then an error meant that it only cost $70 billion, so in total the federal govt spent around $150 billion($17.6 billion for Welfare recipients, $66 bn for Welfare seekers + Jobseeker, $70 bn for Jobkeeper)

    Don't open the thread :)

    You should have in-depth knowledge about each poem and it is expected that you have a paragraph or more about each text in the case it is asked but most commonly, they will ask for at least half of the poems that you've studied so you can make a choice. I feel like missing out on 1-2 paragraphs...

    Need help for subject selection (year 11)

    If you are looking into actuarial studies, it is strongly recommended to do Extension 2 Maths in Year 12(Although, its definetly not necessary).

    Hey, so my friend got into Normanhurst in Year 11 and he told me that it was a relatively straightforward exam with a maths and english section. I believe the english section changes every year because it has been a book review/creative over the years but I would say be prepared for...

    Why must a CAD equal a KAFA surplus?

    Maybe a more simple way to look at it is that a CAD means money is being paid out of the eco into the global eco. So in order to balance that K leaving the country(from BOGS or NY), there must be an inflow of I theoretically and thus, including net omissions and errors CAD + KAFA = 0.
