    Board of Studies reveals 2004 raw marks

    Sorry to bump this, but has there been any updates on any appeals going to the BOS? They are under law supposed to keep records for seven years - are any old-timers that expressed interest before still wanting their marks back? /Has anyone got their raw marks since the decision in Jan 2005 I...

    English scaling.

    That quote wasn't in my post, so I'm afraid I am not on the same page with you there. You're right in that there is fewer band 6s because there isnt enough quality in the responses to get band 6s - but that's after scaling. A standard student might get a raw mark of 92 but because the course...

    ANY1 STILL HAVEN"T STARTED WRITING IT?

    My concept was changing rapidly too, right up until Term 1 Week 3. So I frowned, crossed out the word 'change' and put 'evolve'. That way, you can say how it progressed in your Journal and how you built upon it. Now, when I felt the concept was clutching at straws I evolved it until I had...

    Premium Membership

    Fixed, the problem was I was going into 'Resources' ----> subjectx -----> workx' without previously logging in. It didn't give me an option to log in after that, but I went back and its all good now. Thanks for your patience though

    Sorry, lol, I just noticed! I've tried to access resources though and it says I still need to sign up, that was why I was thinking I wasn't activated yet.

    English scaling.

    I always thought the reason standard english gave out so few band 6s was a combination of a lower callibre and that it scaled right, right down. I always try and update my knowledge of this Secret Service's scaling and marking methods, but it seems impossible to keep up with them...

    Graduate of 2007 - Willing to help HSC students of '08

    It would be great if you've got some helpful notes on the imaginative journey, its always good to get a wide range of sources and notes. Could you send any notes via PM or attachment though?

    Who started BoS?

    and have since started to capitalise by making people pay for all the resources and support they need. Not that there's anything wrong with that. It just all used to be free though didn't it? This kind of stuff interests me too... why would the BoS creators not be administrators? What have...

    Premium Membership

    this appears extremely coincidental as I also paid for premium membership not long after you did lol and im wondering the same thing. Of course, I know its not going to be instantaneous but how long on average would it take to get processed?

    Post Discovered HSC Websites Here

    Yes, but unfortunately MediaFile's no longer hosting is, a bit of a shame though, that particular website made it into the Showcase.

    To be shortlisted for the Showcase...

    A handpicked high-scoring, top-ranging HSC major works from each of the different categories from the year. It's very hard to get a story in, as so many people do it.

    Post Discovered HSC Websites Here

    I am fairly sure that the Multimedi one of, if not the lowest (apart from 'Film') submitted categories across the range. So, for any of those future-seeking people (2008-whenever they finally remove the Ext.2 course, and they have been thinking about it) who need to review past websites or...

    To be shortlisted for the Showcase...

    A person at my school got 48 externally, and got not only nominated but accepted for showcase. This was for a speech though. They have stuck to 49s and 50s in the past, are now considering 48s that are particularly outstanding in the category. Of course, internal marks mean something -...

    Answer to the following scenario is???

    Your reasoning seems sensible, but you're not totally correct. Internal marks - do not count for your HSC. It is the ranks. The Liason officer that spoke to our school explained it. Your scenario doesn't take into account the fact that.... Sally 1 is 2nd in cohort with an internal...

    Radical/Crazy Change of M/W

    Okay, let me start out, I thought the website media would be originally great and everything, a form I knew well and one which was a little more relaxed in terms of word count. But now when I've been developing my concept I've realised despite the fact I have read so many texts which can...

    Hence why I source-reference, and piece together my own thesis taking into account a wide range of sources rather than merely copying. The non-profit book was merely speculation, I don't seriously believe there wouldnt be a lot of red tape in doing so.
