    Half Yearlys

    Yeah I'm going to start summarising my summaries. My family Law summary is about 30 pages but it's heaps detailed. Plus it's really daunting come HSC if you've gotta read 30 pages of notes for each subject. Anyway i'm thinking I'll just go on the sylabus points and put the main point or trigger...

    What's with the Bands?

    Okay I get what your saying but i've seen the standards packages and I mean what they put as bands 1 and 2 could really just be band 1 i mean if you can't even be bothered to learn katakana you should get band 1 not 2. So yeah I think there standards could be higher for certain things. Gems

    What is the Image topic all about?

    Hi i'm kindda a bit lost. We just started the image topic but as my teacher organises the outdoor ed stuff he was out at yr. 6 camp. Anyway I'm not really sure what exactly Image actually means. All i've been able to work out is that it's possibly got something to do with the way people see the...

    What's with the Bands?

    Okay I still don't get it but it appears that their aren't really any answers to my questions. I will have a look on the really BOS site and check cos I asked my Japanese teacher about it and she said that wasn't right. So made SAM just has the wrong stats. Gems

    What's with the Bands?

    Ah okay. But there's still gotta be an average mark so shouldn't that average mark be a band 4. I'm just really worried by the fact that band 6 is the everyone band as i'm not all that good at Japanese, also I think it's unfair cos it means you can't outperform or standout in the subject.

    Bands?

    Oh okay didn't know that. I thought that your school marks went towards your HSC mark aren't they 50% of it?

    Bands?

    Yeah I'm year 12 this year. Yeah I know they are always a little off of course because scaling and candiature change but it's good to get a kindda average indication. I kindda do a give or take 10% thing on it so that I have a bit of an estimate. Anyway their the mark from the prelim course so...

    Half Yearly Exams.

    I got them in week 10 and 11 this term though I've only actually got 3 exams Legal, Japanese and Ancient. All the rest are hand in things. But the best bit is we still get the two weeks off even the majority of our subjects are doing hand in things. Gemma

    Bands?

    Okay here they are. I might not have put them in right. I assume we took it down to a one unit mark. Ancient: 24 English (standard): 25 IPT: 29 Legal: 30 Japanese (continuers): 36 Hope that helps it's still not telling me the bands though

    What's with the Bands?

    Yeah I thought about that but then the whole point of bands seems kindda pointless. I mean you would think they would just take up the cut offs for each band so that you could actually see where the average mark is and then the really high (top) mark and the below average. It seems in Japanese...

    What's with the Bands?

    Hi I just looked on SAM at what the bands are like for Japanese and was wondering why Band six has the majority of people in it? I mean I thought band 6 was supposed to be for the top students not the average students. What's with that? Someone explain it to me. Gems

    Bands?

    Um I put in my marks for my subjects and I clicked the button and got the UAI but all the bands said band 1. How do you get them to tell you what band your in? Gems

    2003 Exam, Question 8 - Finally resolved!

    Yeah Ziff that is how I would have explained it. Torts have to have damages. Contract is just that you didn't get what you expected. When you buy something you expect to get it free of defects as Ziff said, so therefore the metal mixed in was a breach of this contract.

    Legal Studies Exams/Trials etc..

    You can go look at the standards package from the previous years to see how your responses compare. I think every school gets those,just go ask at the library. They have a few examples of peoples responses at the cut off points for each band. There heaps useful. They show you where you are and...
