Care to give it a go then? You did your HSC last year, you can't use zahid's excuse :p

Which teachers would know the raw mark cutoffs? Only the judges that set them?

SMH photo of Caitlin Ruddock, hopefully the link doesn't die.

That is not how you presented it the first time, for example: and are both expressed as facts or truths. I don't see any "I think the British are to blame", you just came right out and said what apparently happened. It didn't, and that was the point of my post. Don't give me any crap about...

You neglected to mention that the Israelis also have a historical link with the region ever since the Kingdom of Solomon, founded c. 1021 BC (wiki), it's not like they just randomly turned up and said "we want to live here, for no reason at all". Also, I think you have your history a little...

I don't know if this is answering the question, but I seem to remember there were three types of things, living (eg. plants) dead (eg. a dead animal) non-living (eg. a rock) I think the thing you might be looking for is non-living, as in a rock. Otherwise, as Slide Rule said, anything...

The Panics are playing support for Machine Gun Fellatio at Manning Bar during USyd O-Week (Friday March 4th), although that doesn't preclude them from playing at UNSW too.

Different schools do different things. I had to hand in a preliminary proposal, which was read by the teacher to ensure we were on the right track, but not marked. We handed in a final proposal with our essay which was marked. I think the point of this was to recognise that research intentions...

The full text (English) is available here. You'll never be able to remember the whole thing though? So those quotes probably are more useful...

I would say no, and no. I think my draft was actually as long as the final essay, but I completely rewrote it from the draft anyway. Veridis is right, you should be basically trying to develop your basic arguments, don't worry about making it polished or anything - though in writing it you...

I know I sorta started it, but:

Ah, so it becomes a sort of scaling based on the quality of the candidature, like the whole HSC.

Why is this the case? If the content of Standard is easier, wouldn't talented students be able to score higher marks in Standard than dealing with the more difficult content of Advanced?

You do need some luck too. My assessment ranks were about as competent as they could be (1st at a selective school in Eng Adv, Chem, Phys, A.His, and Hist. Ext., and ~15th in E1 and E2 Maths, my school's strongest subject), but a few parts of the exams didn't quite fall my way although I tried...

Yes, the UAI is a rank, so what actual marks you get don't really relate to your UAI - ie., if you get all 75's, your UAI won't be 75 or anything. Generally, if you consistently get good marks, you will get a good UAI. It depends on how good your school is though, and how hard they mark...

*cough* rep *cough*

Yes, I got it. I don't think I'll do it though - although it looks fun and interesting, 1) I have heard people lose interest in the project and they usually end up unfinished. 2) I already have a Science TSP to do. 3) I am overloaded atm anyway, unless I can fix it (which I hope to do).

Counterexample :)

Yeah I think it needs to be clarified that paying $500 doesn't entitle you to 20% off the rest of your fees for that semester or anything, just a 20% discount off whatever you pay upfront (so for each $80 you pay, the Govt kicks in $20 to remove $100 from your debt).

Unfortunately, that UAI doesn't exist :) Perhaps 99.80?
