    How much of marks would you lose in module B if you left out the "what extent part?"

    I made reference to the question in this section and made detailed reference to the poem they asked for, but I didn't make the "to what extent" part too clear? I said she does so "cleverly" and harwood "shows the importance of memory in comforting an adult" but I didn't specifically use the...

    Do you think I should be worried?

    The only person I have access to is my school teacher and then there are teachers who don't teach me, but teach the other Advanced English classes. So how exactly do you get access to HSC markers?

    Do you think I should be worried?

    Thanks for that! I'll perhaps send it to another teacher for a second opinion and re-reading what I just posted, I need to fix up that grammar!

    Do you think I should be worried?

    I've been getting 15-16/20's and about 11-12/15 for my essays before and for trials. However after trials I re did all my essays and stepped them up a notch! I sent my essays to my teachers to mark them and they all give me 14/15 and 19/20's for everything. Should I be worried, since they...

    Umat Results

    Re: Umat like I said somewhere in the thread, I know of girl who tops physics, chem and Engineering studies in my school and scored 0-20%. I am not even 1/2 as smart as she is and I scored in the 97th percentile. I don't think the UMAT, is necessarily a test of intelligence and I can assure you...

    Umat Results

    Re: Umat haha true that in away :)... she does 3unit though, but I don't know her marks, bcs I don't do 3 unit. I guess I just find it hard to accept that some one who scores incredible marks like her bombed out at the UMAT!

    Umat Results

    Re: Umat Thanks :) I doubt it, she scores almost full marks for physics as well. I'm honestly sad for her.. she'd make such a great doctor + such a nice person!!! My careers teacher, asked her to send it in for re correction - do hope there is a change for her sake! Trust me I'm only 1/2...

I feel...

    = firsts (Good god)

    Re: = Fuckin firsts (Good god) if you work it out according to the BOS regulations (omitting the outlier) then it is (97 + 90)/2 = 93.5 , but since it rounds up 94 and then your final HSC Mark will be (94+97)/2 = 95.5 which rounds up to 96, and it doesn't seem to make much of a difference...

    = firsts (Good god)

    Re: = Fuckin firsts (Good god) I think the best way to find out is to e mail the BOS and provide them with this similar scenario and see how they go about responding. In the case of them, saying they average the two, regardless of the difference, then perhaps approach your school and tell...

    = firsts (Good god)

    Re: = Fuckin firsts (Good god) the board of studies states that they average the two highest external marks. but I' pretty sure they are open to the fact there can be a gap between ( a massive one like in the 97/88-90 example) and that to me looks like an outlier..the only way to confirm this...
