Ranks aren't submitted for year 10. The mark you get in the SC is entirely your own. Your own school might have ranked you to determine marks (A-E), but this information isn't given to the BOS.

Dodo is only unlimited for the first three months....

It depends how you do in that subject as well as your other subjects. Its very complicated. Just do the best you can and you can't control anything more than that.

Thats not for your actual HSC though, thats for the purposes of working out your UAI. Modern scales relatively average, if you are doing some other subjects that are towards the top of the scaling, you should be alright.

they will probably have one of each. Once general one for people that want to concentrate on one thing, and one open one, where you bring your chosen issues into it. Have a look at the BOS specimen paper, that is there to show you how it will be set out and the types of questions. I think one...

I don't think it would be that bad if they did, theres only 3 types of international crime so it would be easy to identify. Oh and FYI, I was talking to one of the teachers who set the exams this year, and all the social sciency people were told to be 'unpredictable'. So this may well mean...

I have bigpond cable...is that good (I don't understand all that talk). We get 1 GB a month and pay more if we go over.

No I do think that private schools should recieve funding, education is the government's responsibility. However there are many examples of these schools getting MORE funding than public schools because it goes on the number of students you have. Smaller schools get hardly any funding, whereas...

Yep mandatory sentencing is a good issue, you can highlight how this is contrary to the separation of powers and how this in itself is a justice issue (the legislature is crossing over into judiciary jurisdiction), as well as the implications it puts on judges (the fact that this takes away...

Yeah its actually better to have something that hasn't been addressed as fully as is required to achieve justice. Have something that the UN has addressed in a treaty but that not all countries have signed/ratified so you can bring up the issue of non-compliance. Also explain what laws in the...

Yep that is exactly what I was getting at! :)

Don't stress, its not as bad as you think. Have a template for your essay: that is, choose three or 4 issues within your topic that you will talk about. And then, have a look at the themes of the course. The question will be taken from this. When you are answering the question, just make sure...

Yeah we did an assignment on that, I did victims rights

btw this isn't a law + society question its a crime one

she's just going to attack your school and say you are underfunded and stuff, you shouldn't have answered

use them to illustrate & back up your points. The markers want to see that you know them but that you also know how to integrate them appropriately into your argument. i.e. if you are saying a piece of legislation says a certain thing, you can say "this was upheld in the case of X v Y (2003)"
