    Estimates and Special Provisions

    WTF? She isn't being any more "definitive" than statements such as this from you: I don't see any "I think it is not about whether you might disappoint yourself" or "I think it is not about whether you have family troubles" in there. You presented your arguments in just as much of a "I'm...

    Best URLs Ever

    Experts Exchange used to be expertsexchange.com (now there is a hyphen), and Who Represents (an HR company I think) was whorepresents.com

    UAI and Percentile

    Two questions: 1 - How does the Board compare you to your Year 10 cohort? Is this just an estimate of what the Year 10 people would have got, based on SC results or something? Or do they assume that people who left in Year 10 lie along the same distribution of good--> poor results as the Year...

    Misadventure/Appeal due to poor teaching?

    The front of the illness/misadventure form specifically says you can't lodge an appeal on the basis of "alleged deficiencies in tuition", so you probably can't use this channel - however if as Lazarus says you ring the Board there must be some sort of avenue you can go down.

    Estimates and Special Provisions

    What sort of problems are these? Not many people just drop out of school halfway through Year 12. And for those who do have significant problems, that is the entire point of Educational Access Schemes etc. which compensate for the disadvantage. If they had a choice, I'm pretty sure no good...

    Help With Section II

    Don't forget also to talk about the context of the historians and how it affects their interpretations.

    Why Do People Add Their Notes After The Exams Have Past

    People might also wait until they have time - eg. all my notes are handwritten, I'll type them out and put them up when I have 4 months of sitting around doing nothing, may as well do something useful - but right now I'm not wasting time doing it.

    Estimates and Special Provisions

    How would you feel if you were smart, had done really well all throughout high school and then faced some sort of problem in Year 12 which meant you couldn't finish the HSC? I'm sure she didn't carefully plan to have a breakdown so that she could get a high estimate without having to do work, if...

    Removing Norton Internet Security

    Argh, my mum forgot the supervisor password for Norton Internet Security 2003. This means I am unable to fiddle with my firewall settings (the firewall is actually locked in the off position, you need to be a supervisor to turn it back on :p ). My router has NAT and SPI so getting hacked is not...

    design homework for ethanol production

    We don't really learn about reactors I think, only the use of a dilute sulfuric acid catalyst.

    Raw band cut-offs. (Updated: 15/09/04)

    This should perhaps go in another thread, but generally the answer is no. Part of the point of moderating is to solve this problem. Going to a selective school should also help you out if you mess up the exam, because the rest of your cohort will pull you up somewhat, whereas if you were the...

    Raw band cut-offs. (Updated: 15/09/04)

    How did you know? The question was generally directed at Lazarus.

    Whol else thought the Industrial Chem questions were crap?

    The 7 mark question was not just based on a tiny dotpoint. If you knew: - the processes themselves (what raw materials they need, what outputs they need to dispose of, what environmental problems they have) - general stuff from CM&M about dumping ions into water - common sense then you...

    Raw band cut-offs. (Updated: 15/09/04)

    So does SAM take the aligned mark for a year, work out what the raw mark would have been, and then apply scaling to figure out your UAI? (If that's not a trade secret)

    Option 1 - Industrial Chemistry

    You were meant to make another emulsion too. I think we did an experiment to make cold cream (moisturiser-ish thing) but I couldn't remember how we did it, so I made up some stuff about researching mayonnaise.
