Yeah, I see what you're saying. And wow- I didn't realise Maths would require luck too - Bias in humanities is so prevalent, but to get a marker who isn't sure whether it's an 8 or an 0. Yikes. Wouldn't it go to another marker though if they were unsure?

Thanks <3 Zeph: Modern, EE1/EE2, Advanced English (Bet you did better than you think ;) )

I have, on Students Online. But it doesn't come up when I save. Is this the same for you? It just has a blank space where a phone number should be.

hahah as if we'd bag you out; acing maths whether you get a state rank or not is an achievement - I know I definitely wouldn't be able to do it.

Yeah, exactly. Now I am going to leave the house with no fear that I will miss The Call. Woo :P

Re: So Soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Me too...

Good philosophy. It's just hard not to expect one when all year, teachers at my school who have been HSC markers have built me up for it, saying i could easily get state ranks for a few subjects, etc etc... Not the best thing to do, because as you said, ranks are so hard to attain; I could just...

Me too; I'm certain that a few of us have an excellent chance at attaining a state rank (whether it be first or top 10 or whatevs). You, sonya, zephyrio, dp624 & all the other overintelligent users that populate this forum...At least one of us has to get a rank.

hahaha I'm beyond the point of being embarrassed about it. My family is making fun of my nerves and I just keep stressing.

Is that on the BOS website? I can't find it. I'll be out most of today. Ugh stress

I completely agree. Hahaha, I didn't know that was even a part of HSC Science? "Impact on society & environment" seems like it belongs in the SC syllabus.

Re: So Soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that is the best quote in your signature! so potent!

have you tried ABS?

Re: So Soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!! rofl a few weeks ago i thought i could just sleep as per usual and wake up via alarm at 5:30am or something, but that was so naive. i'm now envisioning a sleepless night of refreshing the screen and BOS...hahah

Haha, I didn't mean to, I just got on my Social Sciences pedestal. Good luck to you too, and congrats on your achievements - top 5 at ruse is amazing :)

I do agree that scaling plays a large part in general perceptions of subjects - as you mentioned the subjects which are capped do not attain such a high level of prestige due to their lower candidature and the quality of that candidature. It's when people argue that a state ranking in subjects...

That is so subjective. So you believe that for other subjects, people just memorise and regurgitate, like machines, with no talent? Talent is integral to excellence in any subject. That's an extreme example, but I can understand what you're saying. It's when subjects which have large...

Hahaha. Now, for the obligatory statement of equality: I would like to mention that attaining 1st in state for ANY subject is an achievement, whether it's CAFS or Physics. (I honestly believe this- and I have not done CAFS for my HSC.) Pretty effin' amazing. It's too bad that there exists a...

Hahah I can't imagine anyone actually resisting the urge to tell just a few people...In theory, it may be possible, but I know I wouldn't succeed. :P

don't give up altogether. just wait, give it time and the right person will come along, as cliched as it sounds. :)
