    UNSW or UTS for CompSci?

    I was initially going for UNSW (from prior recommendations) but recently I've been barraged by people (teachers and students) urging me to go to UTS. Now I'm absolutely clueless on which to choose @_@. I want to have a career in games development, but still have a fallback degree in case it...

    UOW or UWS?

    I want to do CompSci and my first choice is UNSW which requires 91~. However, my complete laziness for the trials have destroyed that dream, at least for the first year of uni. So, if I don't get the ATAR I need, I have two fallbacks that only require 75~ which I can go to for my first year...

    Dux or valedictorian?

    Dux or valedictorian, which do you like more? I personally prefer valedictorian. Sounds waayyyy more prestigious than dux. I mean c'mon, you reward your highest ranking student by labelling him/her a duck(s)? :s lol.

    Ranking and final hsc mark.

    Let me get this straight. So in a particular subject, do you get the hsc mark corresponding to your internal rank? So lets say if the 5th best mark in your school was 80% and you get the best mark of 98%, do you get the 80% instead if you were rank 5th internally? I've heard this been told to...

    Question lol.

    If you get 10% internal mark for lets say Adv. English, Physics, Chemistry, Economics, Mathematics, and Maths Ext 1, but you get full marks for everything in the HSC, what do you reckon your final ATAR would be? aha.

    Is 1300 words too long for the belonging creative?

    My story deals with belonging and not belonging, as well as personal belonging and belonging to a place, so maybe I might be able to dump and run? xD One can hope~ :D Oh yeah, is it fine to add textual excerpts in the story? Like I made up a blurb of a book and inserted that in my story.

    Is it fine for teachers to reuse a hsc question but change the marking guidelines?

    Good evening everyone. Today, I received my paper back for my SOR 1u half yearly, and my marks were appalling. However, I don't think it's my fault. I'm just gonna say that I got one of the highest if not the highest mark for the first section since I beat the usual top ranker (in all...
