Do the bonus points from universities equal the same amount in extra ATAR points. i.e. if I get 2 bonus points from a band 5 in Advanced English for courses at UNSW does that bump my ATAR up 2 points when I am considered...

    And the Fish appears in EVERY SINGLE SDD PAPER

    So. Basically, for some reason the Software Design and Development exam writers have an obsession with putting something about fish and/or fingers into the SDD exams.

    Do you believe in true love? (srs)

    Do you believe in true love? As in, an undeniable, unconditional and infallible love for another person? Do you define true love as something else?
