In my physics trial my teacher literally took like 15 marks off of me for 'not being concise'. Yet, when I look at HSC marking guidelines, it's more like a checklist of considering enough points on the syllabus. I enjoy writing out long elaborate answers for like 9 markers - will I be punished...

Anyone gotten offers yet? Suppose to come out sometime from today to this week.

I felt as though that was way harder than 2020 and 2021. Multiple choice was pretty difficult, and from question 14 onwards many of the questions felt very abstract.

Hello, Just wondering if any bos'ers who do or have done music 1/2 could provide some general tips/structural tips for the aural exam this thursday. I did pretty good in the trials; but want to elevate my mark to cover for any hiccups I may have encountered in my performance exam. Thank you!

Does anyone finish comprehension in like 30 minutes? Idk what my problem is... I got decent marks (18/20) for comprehension, How do I slow down????

I am so tired English is actually created by some evil monsters. Why cant we be like every other country, and have just comprehension skills as the normal english course. I do not care about Margaret Atwood, she is a terrible writer. No, 'Hag-seed' isn't good, it's terrrible. T.S Eliot is an...

Hello to the possibly the deadest forum on BOS, I heard that if the markers are taking a while to call in the next student, it usually either means theres a discrepancy between the marks, or that they're considering you for an encore nom. Anyone know anything about that? Cheers

fellow bos'ers; my decision to choose music 1 haunts me to this day. My school is ranked in the low 100's. after trials I am ranked tied first with an average of ~ 96-97% in music. (4-3 students get a band 6 in a class of 8ish) For English, I ranked first overall after trials with a trial mark...

hello bos'ers, i'm currently doing maths extension 2. my school isn't the greatest (top 100ish); but it's mathematics cohort is very strong (i believe we placed top 30 2 years ago). i'm currently 3/7 or 4/7; but the gaps between the ranks are about 1%-2% each. Will this greatly affect me because...

What's the meta strat for trials for the ext 2 exam? Obviously I know I'm not gonna be able to do a few fair questions in 15/16; but, finish all the questions I know to do and try to spam the hard ones until done/maximise the marks? Daunting tbh... Any CSSA Doers?
