As title says... does BOS Scale our HSC Marks.. In other words... is the mark averaged from ur exam mark and ur moderated assessment mark then scaled by the BOS? I've read a sticky in this subforum about raw HSC marks... but I don't quite understand. E.g. If I achieve a raw HSC Mark of 85...

For those that have finished their assessment component (which you probably would have by now), feel free to post up your final assesment marks that you have calculated, as well as your final cumulative ranks. :)

I'm a little confused about when it is needed to use the formulas: v = u + at s = ut + 1/2.at^2 v^2 = u^2 + 2as Are they only for motion under constant acceleration? So when I'm doing a projectile motion question.. i should use: x''= 0 x' = v.cos(t) x = vt.sin(t) y'' = -g y' = -gt +...

By using the rule: lim (sin nx / nx) = 1 how can we manipulate limits so that we can get it in the form above? e.g. evaluate lim (sin3x / 2x) ..

In the extended response sections... how would you structure your essays, or which areas would you focus on for the following topic areas: Implications/Impact of Sustained CAD Analyse impact of microeconomic and macroeconomic policies Aust Government Response to Globalisation Impact of...

I would really appreciate some advice on some of my pre-prepared ideas for Section 2 Paper One - exam is tomorrow! - In the half yearly, I wrote a story about a guy who is fed up of city life and city people... and goes 'into the wild', living a life in the jungle until he finds this tribe in...

After the trials, does anyone still have assessment tasks in any of their subjects? English crammed our last assessment 3 weeks after our last one, to be on the last school day before trials start... :burn: Apparently it was due to English faculty "tradition", they never push assessment tasks...

I have almost finished my practical where I had fast-growing radish seeds germinating in cotton wool in a petri dish. I placed one inside a completely dark place, and the other in an area exposed to sunlight. My results showed that the one in the dark grew MUCH faster and higher than the one...

Generally, do people usually get a better mark in their HSC Exam or is their Assessment mark usually higher. I know this can vary from student to student and from school to school, but as a general guide..? My worry is that If I work consistently and well throughout the year and obtain a great...

I've got a practical assessment tomorrow based on a titration, with some questions involved also. I have studied alot about volumetric analysis, but I would appreciate any tips for undertaking a titration, particularly in the context of a practical exam. :)

I reckon the moderation of assessment marks is unfair, because basically all the marks we obtain from assessment tasks are useless, as the BOS only uses our internal ranks, and then 'transforms' our assessment mark to the respectively ranked examination mark obtained by the school cohort, in a...

Title says it all.. :cool:

The pressure of half yearly exams starting building since early last week, and now its really taking its toll on me physically - im sleep deprived, get migraines, and chest pains sometimes.... and literally feel like crap. The point of this thread is to ask everyone what they plan to do to...
