I think that if you can do well in a subject you have taught yourself you will have no problem at Uni because that's what it is like there. People can do well in the HSC but not necessarily Uni because Uni requires self-motivation and discipline which some don't have.

I have a simple answer, don't use timetables - for me anyway, they simply didn't work. I just did what I felt like keeping in mind that I needed to devote extra time to english cause it was my worst subject. I don't know how people stick to timetables. I mean I think they are too rigid and...

Under the BOS system, if everyone meets the Band 6 standard then everyone can get into band 6. Of course this will not always be the case. Yes you are correct with respect to HSC marks but with the UAI there is only a specific number of ppl who can get 99+ or 90+.

The UAI is a rank. Hence only a certain number of people can get over 99 every year. That doesn't change. Standards referencing does not apply to the UAI. It only applies to HSC marks. Even though the HSC marks were inflated this year it has no effect on the UAI as UAC uses raw examiation...

Yeah thats correct. Either commerce/adv maths at sydney uni or commerce/adv science majoring in maths at UNSW. Thats why I'm going to the sydney day because I want to find out more about the adv. maths program there.

Yeah I taught myself the entire course and still made it comfortably into the top band. I ended up knowing more than the maths teachers at my school cause they could only teach 3 unit and hadn't learnt 4 unit.

Re: 4 unit A lot of extra study for it because I had no teacher.

4 unit maths cause I like it and am good at it.

I got 98.5

I don't like britney, holly valence, christina aguilera, and kylie minogue, they all suck and they can't sing for crap.

Armidale itself is the biggest hole and so to is UNE (I had to go there to sit my UMAT exam).

you are lucky u ended up one uai point above your estimation, I ended up with one below my estimation.

I was pressured from all sides when I did the HSC this year, as somehow everyone thought I would be getting 100 (which I knew was never going to be the case). There was pressure from my friends and other yr 12 students, even from the school. I just didn't take any notice of it and ignored it for...

Yeah I hate all the political crap that goes into who gets what awards. At my school it is so biased and unfair that in the end ppl don't see the awards as meaning that much.

I think once people complete the HSC and officially finish school, dux loses its importance in the wide scheme of things. Nno one cares about it, because they aren't at school any more and they have more important things to think about. It's hard to say really, that if someone beats you in...

Yeah it should be.

I don't think it makes much difference about your rank. I mean seriously I got ranked 4th in phys and chem out of 8 students, 2nd out out of 21 students in english adv, first in 3 and 4 unit maths, and still managed to to well by doing well in the HSC exams.

Yeah it must have been. I think it will be better than the open day simply because there will be less ppl there.

My reference was really good, and had everything I would have wanted in it.

So very true :D
