    How the heck is the Atar calculated?

    Ive got a question about rankings. I know that whatever is the best result in the external gets awarded to the student that topped the subject during the school year and then the rest of the students get the following marks. But, let's say for example i come 5th in a subject with an assessment...

    Confused about this whole leaving early thing.

    Im in a similar situation. Ive got 13 units with general maths definitely being part of those 3 units that wont count in the end. I didnt study but still put in a decent effort and finished the paper with 40 minutes left. I really didnt wanna be in there so just left earlier.

    General Thoughts: General Mathematics

    It was an easy paper, though ill probably get something like a 70. I really dont care about maths, im glad im done with it for the rest of my life. Though, if i studied a bit and put an effort in it, i wouldve got a 90 for sure. People that knew what they were doing wouldve smashed this paper.

    Modern History Essay Guide

    Thanks for the reply. Now, for the quotes. My modern teacher told us to neglect quotes, historians and historiograpy and focus more on content and its analysis. However here i see most students actually pay a lot of attention to historians and their thoughts. So do i have to incorporate quotes...

    Modern History Essay Guide

Yesterday in the english exam, i had few minutes to spare so i actually counted my pages, and each page has about...

    Supervisors never allowed us to take the papers with us. Apparently were not allowed to take any paper out of the exam room/hall/whatever. Ok, i didnt see that you edited the post. Thanks a lot for that :) Btw, for Q19, is that the question asking what does a cash flow statement show? I chose...

    What mark must I get for Health, to not get scaled down?

    According to the ATAR calculator, 86 is the lowest mark that scales up, anything below will scale you down. 75 scales down to a 65. Now im shitting myself lol

    Supervisors consistancy questions.

    1. We got told to specify whether were advanced or standard. 2. We also had to write the name of the section and text we were doing. 3. They never asked us to put our names down. 4. I reckon that they never got any formal training cos they are inconsistent. I ask one marker if i should put all...

    So since it's all over, thoughts on raw marks for band 6?

    Thats just ridiculous. Honestly, 75 isnt easy to get, but its not that hard either. Were there a lot of band 6s last year?

    Do you have strict supervisors for your HSC exams? Yes or No?

    Does anyone have a supervisor thats younger than 60? Seriously, they are all the same, old, mostly polite and extremely slow. It takes them 2 minutes to deliver the extra booklets. And i got told off for writing the name of the section i answered when they were collecting papers after the exam...

    What emotions did you go through when you when you saw the questions?

    After they gave us the papers, all you could see is people turning around and a lot of confused faces. It was really funny haha. To make it even worse, my whole school had no water supply, so all students were in the quad all day screaming and running around. Modules A and C were pretty generic...

    Module B Hate Thread

    What BOS is doing this year is cracking down on prepared essays. They want us to study all year and when you sit the exam they give you a suprise, a question thats not generic. Hamlet was a really big suprise this year and im not sure if i linked the extract well enough with the other parts of...

    Section 3 - Extended Response

    This paper was perfect for Skrzynecki. I didnt have a prepared essay, but i was gonna do feliks, 10 mary st and ancestors with "another brick in the wall" as a related. When i saw that it was place i changed ancestors with post card and used the scream as a related text cos it fits better. Even...
