    What Would as an external mark of 77?

    A raw mark of 79 in last year's paper aligned to 91.6 (or a reported mark of 92) so I agree with b3kh1t.

    HSC plus and AAA scholarship

    You'll have to forget about HSC bonus points for combined law as it is ineligible - go hereto check : http://iaro.online.unsw.edu.au/pls/non/hsc_bonus_points.main . You can use the 5 AAA points though.

    Simple Question

    From the BOS website: •Band 1 = 0 - 49 marks Each band is aligned to what a student at that level of performance typically knows, understands and can do. The 'average' performance in most courses is usually a mark in the mid-70s (Band 4). Band 1 indicates that a student has not met enough...

    Raw marks for exams

    You're right - last year a raw mark or 84/120 or 70% aligned to a 93 (from a fellow BOSer who got his raw marks & posted them - this was his 4u mark).

    Bachelor of fine arts/ cofa

    If you get a band 6 in VA that will effectively "lower" (for want of a better word) the ATAR to 76 as UNSW give out HSC Plus points for subjects relevant to the course (VA is the only course COFA consider for a Bachelor Fine Arts). These "bonus" marks are automatically added in when considering...

    Combined BE BSc Program

    Thanks sikhman. Which faculty said that, do you remember? Do you know if it is affected if you DO actually meet the pre-reqs for honours (but don't want to do it - he'll be there for 5 years as it is :))? I ask as my son is actually taking all the required physics pre-reqs for Honours as they...

    Can you get a Pass with Distinction in a Combined Program?

    I KNOW THAT - I said in my OP : "In a straight BSc, if you just complete the pass degree (ie don't do the extra honours year) you can be eligible to receive it as a "Pass with Distinction" if your WAM in the courses contributing to the degree is 75 or higher. " I want to know if it applies to...

    Can you get a Pass with Distinction in a Combined Program?

    I posted this in the Engineering Forum but, as it is a question regarding the BSc degree component of a combined BE BSc, I'll post it here too - hopefully someone will know the answer because no-one at UNSW seems to - they keep flicking you between faculties. I'm posting this on my son's behalf...

    Combined BE BSc Program

    I hope someone here knows the answer to this because no-one at UNSW seems to - they keep flicking you between faculties. I'm actually posting this on my son's behalf who is doing the double. In a straight BSc, if you just complete the pass degree (ie don't do the extra honours year) you can...

    Telecommunication Engineering or Electrical Engineering?

    What a bored person you must be to comment on something of absolutely no significance to anything in this thread. If you must know, that was HSC year of interest to me at the time I was looking around this site for any helpful info - obviously not the year I did the HSC. Does it matter?

    Telecommunication Engineering or Electrical Engineering?

    Go to First year course information & click on "Course availability" & read this entry and the one below it on choosing your 1st year Physics course. My son studies PV Eng, did both MX1 & MX2 in 2008 HSC but not Physics. He chose to do PHYS1111 Fundamentals of Physics in Session 1 (scored a...

    Advanced engineering at UWS or engineering at UTS

    Isn't this a bit of a moot point now? Preferences closed at midnight last Wednesday and if you get into what ever you had down as your first preference don't UAC just disregard the rest?
