not necessarily considering that your ATAR is a rank while you get a mark for IB. Every year, there can only be a certain amount of people with each ATAR for the HSC, making it much harder to get a good score. That said, people who get 99.95 in the HSC might not get 45 for IB, and vice versa...

Not really sure tbh HAHAHA But here is an article from the guardian which actually praises the HSC over the A-Levels http://www.theguardian.com/education/2009/nov/17/a-levels-degrees-narrow-education-broaden I also think that, other than IB, HSC is one of the broadest qualifications out there...

I was looking into it this year, but I ultimately decided against it cause A) 2016 would be its first year running so there are no guarantees for the quality of the course B) I don't know any French (even tho courses would be taught in English - socially I think I would have struggled) C) Not...

While IB is probably more recognisable, HSC is a pretty well regarded qualification overseas and is accepted in the US/UK.

lol In any case, Newton is a great guy and, as his marks already show, crazy smart as well. Plus, at the end of his lessons he can serenade you with his sick guitar skills :)

I don't have the mathematical vocabulary or ability to precisely describe it but I find Benford's Law fascinating and very strange https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benford%27s_law

There is approximately a 50% chance of two people sharing the same birthday in a room of 23 people

Thank you everyone! ^_^ (I'm also the guy in this video http://youtu.be/jVu3xb8IQew HAHAHA if anyone's interested)

but what about the other 20%????? U r too intelligent to get beaten by them!!!!1!!1! on a serious note - getting 99.5 probably only places you in the top 35% at ruse LOL

rofl I'm actually in this video HAHAHA Yes! There is like 1 in every grade and they are usually REALLY REALLY smart. My grade has 1 non-asian and two halfies so that's like what, 2 white people.

Actual Ruse ^_~

Agreed. In any case, they can't make English optional without fundamentally changing how the HSC works. I think English is probably the best yardstick for scaling there is lol. All for the new syllabus change however - though I doubt this will change anything. People will still complain about...

This years one threw me off initially cause it was all plain form and there was lots of casual language as well Other than that, a fair paper. (There was thing in the listening that stumped me but that's not really very surprising)

Well India was under British control during the romantic period and I told the story from the perspective of Englishman working in the colonial administration. And since, Coleridge's Kubla Khan is set in Xanadu, and Shelley spends a quarter of Frankenstein in the North Pole lol (that being said...

Did not like the romanticism creative stimulus at all romanticism is so much more than just "being 1 wid da natural world!!!!" but the stimulus really restricted its scope. I guess it was fine if you did a typical nature creative but mine was about overcoming racial prejudice in colonial India fml

I think you do because representations are influenced by the composer's personal views, and thus, informed by context. in any case, English is over it can't hurt us anymore

The Citizen Kane question was basically my school's term 2 assessment HAHA Mod A was fucked though - social divisions in letters to alice??? no thanks The mod c question was so generic that I had trouble understanding what it actually meant rofl

I did director's folio this year and I absolutely loved it It is a lot of work though - arguably the hardest out of any IP (along with film) from what my drama teacher told me. I think it's because you have to do a bit of everything. There's a bit of costume design, there's a bit of set design...
