Is there even an enrolment day??? I thought all the accepting and enrolling takes place online...

Yeah, I accepted and enrolled online today - it DOES feel odd, especially since I don't quite know what I'm doing. I've got a list of courses and i basically selected all 5 courses for the year...dunno if that is what I was supposed to do.

Wow, your school is doing nearly all the texts then? (i assume your other text of study is The Bone people) You're actually only required to do 3 and I did the 3 texts you mentioned. They're very good, I suggest you use The Shipping news for your creative task - it's got such a rich storyline...

Simple say: As electrons are lost, the oxidation number increases, since oxidation is the loss of electrons. Therefore, elements have an oxidation state of 0, Na+ has an oxidation state of 1. Cl- has an oxidation state of -1, since it has in fact GAINED electrons, hence not undergoing oxidation...

Fight fire with fire eh? I don't think it was his intention to be rude, so no need to be rude urself just to boost your meaningless post count.

Well done Mambomeg! Yeah, I put Vetsci as 3rd choice after careful deliberation- I can see it's not for me, but it's good to see you got in after your year's wait.

I got my second preference: Medicine @ Newcastle :|

Essentially our pracs are the same, but I'm kind of going by the book's practical set-out (Jacaranda)

Hmm, well I'm assured of Vetsci, but still nothing on med...so I'm confused, are they still going to publish something on monday in the paper? If so, will it include our names and the courses we got into? I remember something like that happening last year.

But they really shouldn't be compared with Advanced when you think about it as most of their content is different.

So basically, you're telling me that a 90 in standard is as good as a 90 in advanced -very well...or rather...NOT WELL!! I simply cannot believe that standard candidates can't achieve marks usually beyond 80 - they should incorporate ESL into the mix and see how it goes. Meh, I'm done with...

lol - there you have it folks- the guy from my school who got 100 with ESL.

Jealous of whom??? I said already, I got what I wanted!

Survivor, Standard is obviously better at english than you (or rather they should be) - that much you can't deny. The raw mark could be quite high for Standard actually- there's no way to tell. Similarly the raw marks for ESL could be quite crap. The BOS alligned marks are what bring out the...

Yup, I'm discriminating between right and wrong, buddy. :D Survivor: don't you see something wrong with that??? The candidature for standard is so high and yet hardly anyone is permitted to get above 75...yet the ESL ppl can score an easy band 5, by doing something much much easier. I...

Cyph please...read what I'm saying - because I seriously can't answer that question AGAIN

omg, how can you say that I'm wrong when I'm looking at table A2 RIGHT NOW!! Please, explain to me if i'm interpretting this table incorrectly, but let me refer you to Standard english scaled marks for the 90th percentile: HSC MARK: 37.5 SCALED MARK: 28.4 DIFFERENCE: 9.1 Now here's...

Nope, that comparison is flawed. You don't see why I'm disputing this! It's because ESL gets reasonable > good scaling, whereas general maths gets pathetic scaling.

idiots. of course i understand what ESL is, that's why I suggested doing a BRIDGING course. I don't think either of you understand what I'm saying. As for being jealous, how am I? I got the UAI I aimed for, now I'm simply voicing my opinions on the system. It's not my fault you can't get your...

-Cuz he killed ESL, go figure. IN FACT, I've just had a thought: a better alternative would be to make the subject "capped" as we once thought Standard was, since no one who can do that well in ESL should be even doing ESL...
