I was hoping to get into Commerce/Law at UNSW this year however my school stuffed up the academic achivement award because they gave it out before ATAR's were released. I got an ATAR of 98.45 which would have secured me a position with the bonus points from the award, however they gave it to...
I agree, if the uni had to choose between a student with 96 ATAR plus 5 and one with 98 ATAR plus 5, the 98 ATAR student would get in - simply because their raw atar is higher (even though both students ATAR's amount to 99.95 with bonus points).

- the lares were present during important rites of passage...
The question one chose probably depended on the emphasis the teacher placed on the topic. My teacher placed particular emphasis on the Persian Wars so our school cohort did A, even though B was also doable.
For A:
- Role of of Themistocles in diverting funds from Laurion to the construction of...
For those who did part (a), how did you approach this question? Did you state that the Athenian navy was the only reason for victory, or did you say that it was tempered by other factors such as Themistocles strategies?
Yep, I also said that they were present during important rites of passage such as marriage, births and funerals and were offered fruits and pine cones - symbols of fertility. I was also at a lecture and they actually talked about the house of the vetti Lararium - which was actually found in the...
