    Share your 2009 HSC results here

    You seem very pleased with that english result - simply put you shouldn't be. If all your other results are correct, then that would suggest you have a good work ethic and have a pretty decent memory. Would it not have been worth the time to memorise english essays? Even someone who is very poor...

    Did anyone actually memorise 4+ essays for the HSC?

    Personally, I would memorise a few quotes for each text, read the question in the exam and just start writing. And despite how it sounds, that actually worked for me (93 exam mark in the HSC, 95 HSC mark). Then again, I am one of the only people I know that can go in there and write a coherent...

    'Premier's All Rounder' award.

    Damn that stupid list. Won't lie though, in no way do I regret not doing the work in maths to make it on.

    What! 98 was a state rank! God damn, you just gave me my first regret for the entire HSC.

    Clerical recheck of marks

    I would be curious to see how many of these clerical rechecks actually find any mistakes. No offence intended to OP and others, but if many people do far better than expected by simply having an extraordinarily good exam, isn't it just as plausible that you simply had a bad exam? Having said...

    Hahahaah I just noticed this.

    Who thinks the HSC is unfair?

    Which is why I never said it always works that way. Although I was referring to what the majoritys opinion would be, VA is one subject that has extremely split ideas on it. However, even then I believe the majority opinion would be that Extension 2 maths is far more difficult.

    3 band 6's but didnt get a 90?

    As someone just pointed out, the UAC doesn't just randomly pick and choose how subjects scale. It is done based on complex sets of information relating their relative performances in all subjects (however English has the most importance). Essentially, your entire post is completely incorrect.

    Who thinks the HSC is unfair?

    I know you love to say this, and you even corrected me before. However I already knew this, I just think it is a far simpler explanation to say that the harder a subject, in general the better it scales. I know technically it has NOTHING to do with a subjects difficulty, but across the board a...

    Who thinks the HSC is unfair?

    Ahhh man do I love bleeding heart hippies. Anyone who can say - with a straight face of course - that they would have prefered to be born into a nomadic aboriginal society rather than living in Sydney, a city with some of the highest living standards in the world, is a flat out idiot...

    Not sure where you are going with this one, but hey, whatever floats your boat.

    Would anyone believe this?

    You cared enough to reply with an insult. So, at the very least you care.

    Would anyone believe this?

    Hahahahahah ok this is just getting beyond funny. What I do find interesting is that the majority of people have decided that not only did I study hard, but that I also did a lot worse than what I have claimed. Only a few have come to the conclusion that perhaps I did get 98.5, but that I also...

    Share your 2009 ATAR here

    No one screwed you over. You had relatively poor marks, and I am assuming they were in poorly scaling subjects. Simple as that. (PS. Before you start complaining about scaling, the reason your subjects were scaled poorly is because they are easy)

    Share your 2009 ATAR here

    (Quote in reference to people defending a post that claimed a 96.5 ATAR with minimal study) I find comments like this absolutely hilarious. There are all sorts of people in this world, there were people who studied hard and landed themselves <50, and there were those who did minimal study...

    Would anyone believe this?

    I am not sure what you are implying.. You seem to be saying, if I did harder subjects that I would HAVE to study for then my story might have made more sense.. Unfortunately that seems rather counter-intuitive to me. I did relatively easy subjects (other than 4 unit maths and english advanced)...

    Would anyone believe this?

    Hahahahaha man this shit is funny. Can't be bothered to reply to all the insults and such, but really, I couldn't care less if people don't believe me. But hey, all the abuse is really more of a compliment in than anything. Keep it up fellas.

    Who thinks the HSC is unfair?

    Somehow I think your definition of "really well" differs from that of the general public. Once again, repeat after me, scaling can not be blamed for all your failures.

    Would anyone believe this?

    Crap! You're right! I had my monitor upside down so I could read this cool website, and I forgot to turn it the other way! Sorry everyone, Spammy is right, forget this post I actually got 68.Upside-down 5.

    Reckon I'll get into a BA here?

    I would say the few years would add much needed general maturity as well.
