    what is so bad about UWS?

    Yep, when you're stuck with something, you have no other choice but to love it, even if at heart, you despise it.

    Is it true that for 2008, the cut off for an E4 was 48? Or was that ext 2?

    General Thoughts: English Extension 1

    I do module A, SF. The question was very good. Though with my essay, I was running out of time and only managed to complete two booklets - I had so much more to say...

    URGENT: Eng. Ext. 1 Exam

    However, I know that they can ask anything, but do you think that the likelihood of something of this nature being asked be likely? After all, 2009 is the year of weird and whacky HSC questions...

    URGENT: Eng. Ext. 1 Exam

    A friend of mine told me that he called up the BOS' advice line in regards to creative writing. He told me that the call operators were briefed to advise students that the creative component of the exam will encompass something similar to: You have been asked to attend a student forum...

    General Thoughts: Biology

    I can't be bothered searching through the previous pages, but MC Q14 - phenotypic changes over a number of generations - Convergent, divergent or punctuated equilibrium?

    General Thoughts: Biology

    I think that our exam featured a greater need to draw diagrams, relative to the previous papers... My biggest gripe would've been the five marker in the communication section... Everything else seemed to be okay. I reckon the easiest question would have been the kidney diagram - extremely...

    Band 6 subjects

    I'm on the same boat with Maths... I probably wasn't born for maths or anything calculative in nature.

    Band 6 subjects

    I know that this is the wrong thread to post this, but who bloody cares. To the chick, today, who sat next to me at the SL studying maths and revealed to her friends that she "accidentally" visited the men's room during her toilet break, you made my day. I kept giggling on the way home like a...

    Band 6 subjects

    I'm ranked third in English and second in Ext. 1/2 English. Hopefully, knowing that I've practically whacked my exams out of proportion, my ranks will rescue me from the depths of oblivion. Oh and my major work... the thought that it's already marked an my mark is lingering somewhere on BOS'...

    How many pages

    You sound like a replica of me... I tend to harp on about nonsense, from my perspective; when the exams turnaround, the mark ends up being positively unexpected. Hopefully, just hopefully, hoping not to jinx myself, my marks will be better than what I expect... at the moment, I'm not...

    On the day of HSC results, what is given to us?

    Sorry, Eldore44, it's just that the more I think of the notion of the ATAR, the more convoluted my mind gets. Yeah, I know that the HSC mark is the average of your internal and external marks and the idea of the student retaining their rank throughout the external examination process. What I...

    How many pages

    Approx. ten, coupled with writing synonymous with Arabic, for each of them... I'm fearing that my responses were too vague, in terms of what they answered... My ATAR aim has dropped another notch...

    On the day of HSC results, what is given to us?

    ^^ So practically speaking, your rank in a subject is pretty much useless, in terms of what it can do for your ATAR? Fantastic... what a great Christmas present...

    On the day of HSC results, what is given to us?

    Folks, I'm getting confused as to what UAC utilises for the calculation of the ATAR. On their website, it states: "The actual calculation of your ATAR is a complex process that begins with scaling your raw HSC marks and ends with ranking you among your entire Year 7 cohort." In terms of...

    13 years of our lives leading up to this moment..

    If only I could sing along to Sinatra's song, "My Way"... What's done is done, I suppose [all that lazing about, my marks that are beyond the capacity of being salvaged]... Nonetheless, good luck to everyone; merry Christmas and I wish you all a prosperous 2010 [DJs is starting to sell...

    How many ASIANS do 4 Unit ENGLISH?

    I do ext. 2 english and am of Asian ethnicity (technically, like someone said before, we're all Australian and I have a strong stance against the cultured notion that all who are of Asian ethnicity to be mathematicians and end up being doctors or lawyers). I've been called a wannabe white by a...
