    So the idiot that I am has only just realised that the aligned marks we got yesterday does not get used to determine our ATAR. Now, I put those in the ATAR calculator (I know, inaccurate, but I couldn't help it) and was okay with the result (93.15) Now that I've realised that those marks are...

    Handwriting.

    Why should you try in HSC ...

    Why should you try in HSC to get the best mark, when in essence, you will be receiving the mark that is in accordance to your rankings. (So, if you're ranked 2nd in English, you would get the 2nd highest mark) Don't worry, I'm obviously going to try, but I was just thinking today, what's the...
