    what if you don't get UAI you wanted?

    nonoo! i meant 97/105 would be 93% and id have no idea how well that scales. id think around a 95%? not sure though. not that any of us can be. and; i think 84-85/105 would be a good mark for an aligned 90.

    State Rankings

    yeah; i accelerated advanced english. and, fallenstar i think thats about right. because, usually, 100 is 100. so, in the higher spectrum of band 6, marks are pushed up 'less' but more greatly aligned when theyre a low band 6 or high band 5.

    what if you don't get UAI you wanted?

    honestly. 40/45 for paper 1. possibly even 39. paper 2. 58-60/60 worst case scenario looks like maybe a 97/105 which is about a 93 raw. unless. like ive heard, its 40% paper 1. 60% paper 2. which would be more like 35.55 + 58 = 94 raw. these worst case scenarios are still fairly hopeful.

    dp624; how about english? how many points can you expect a raw raw mark to go up by before settling with the final aligned mark? ranked 1st in a top 10 school, if that changes anything.

    what if you don't get UAI you wanted?

    trials vs. the reality of hsc. plus, that was only for catholic. i misinterpreted/misread questions with trial 2 (independent) and ended up with a fairly unimpressive. 98/105.

    what if you don't get UAI you wanted?

    dp624; i did better than you in english (103), but, oh my, crapped out in paper 1 in hsc. that is; i screwed up any shot at a state rank. but my lord; your trial marks are blindingly spectacular. i hope you'll be sitting comfortably on a 100 UAI.

    "Assessment Rank Order from 13 November"

    Only doing 2 subjects this yr. Advanced English - 1/53. Biology - 14/59. Just another question; I think I did orright (not superwell) in English, but I'm ranked first, and I'm in a top 10 school; should I be hopeful of a 95+?

    Extension 2 English Thoughts: Poetry.

    Oh Lordy Da. I felt like doing poetry for the Major Work - but, meh, still deciding, unfortunately. I think - that a stream of consciousness will def. be looked down upon. A set structure that follows past techniques and styles, with alterations to suit the way you express yourself and what it...

    Anyone else disliked tht test?

    Noo. I quite liked it. My questions were preetty simple: In the Wild, Wordsworth and Malouf. For Mod. A. Citizen Kane for Mod. B. Wayy too simple. And complexities evident within the nature of powerplay? I liked engaging with, focus was Antony and Cleopatra.

    LINKING TO THE QUESTION - Let's get this down straight.

    I've been racking my brain and nerves about this for a few days now, and am annoyed. Everytime I attempt a practise question, my involvement with the question just gets bigger and bigger.. and sometimes bigger than my damn analysis. So. I want to get this straight. HOW are we supposed to a...

    Is anyone using already prepared essays?

    Well, I think the top 5 ranks in my school have done that. And I'm ranked first, so, God-willing, we'll ALL do well.

    Is anyone using already prepared essays?

    Me too. @ sirfeathers, last years was pretty specific for in the wild, 2 differences, but everything prior has still been pretty general. Hoping for the same sort of thing this time. and, gah, Module B: Citizen Kane, same sort of thing, I thought last yr's question (ONE INTENSE RELATIONSHIP)...

    Do you think this is an effective way of studying?

    I concur with u-borat. Everyone has fancy prepared essays memorised. Your skill in English is determined by your ability to adapt your prepared material to the question, imho.

    Physical journey - understading of the world

    I don't do Skryznecki but Huck Finn. And it should generally be the same. A physical journey is a movement from one place to another. That consequently brings about change and learning. So, person A goes on journey. Encounters obstacles, which force person A to reconsider their understanding of...
