thats true..Maybe for the HSC but not always for life :O
so excited that its finally finishingOnly 3 more weeks left.
Yep seems strange they don't do that for other languages, I guess because Latin is a 'dead language' its harder to work out what they are meant to know..Shit! I wish they gave me something that extensive for French, we're supposed to basically divine what is expected that we know on our own. There's a couple of constructions we're told we need but we don't get anything like that. It's sort of like 'French: go'.
Or internal transferso excited that its finally finishing

Yeah, you can't really go on exchange to the Roman Empire for the summer holidays hahaYep seems strange they don't do that for other languages, I guess because Latin is a 'dead language' its harder to work out what they are meant to know..
but we're not allowed to take in latin dictionaries into our exams, whereas iirc French and other Modern Languages allows you to use a dictionary in the exam. we aren't allowed.Shit!

boo hoobut we're not allowed to take in latin dictionaries into our exams, whereas iirc French and other Modern Languages allows you to use a dictionary in the exam. we aren't allowed.
Really? That's so bizarre. Though to be honest I almost never use mine because it takes me too long to find anything. I wonder what their rationale for that is though. Maybe that there aren't native speakers taking the exam so they don't need to make adjustments to even the playing field or something?but we're not allowed to take in latin dictionaries into our exams, whereas iirc French and other Modern Languages allows you to use a dictionary in the exam. we aren't allowed.
not able to use dictionaries in Latin and Classical Greek is a major factor behind the difficulty level and high scaling...Really? That's so bizarre.

Presence of native speakers who can obviously smash 2U and have a huge advantage in 3U is why the living European languages don't scale as high as they should.not able to use dictionaries in Latin and Classical Greek is a major factor behind the difficulty level and high scaling...

UWS #noworries
U do know UWS also accepts mystery marks students.Well with the mystery mark that I'm set to get... It's TAFE ftw
Wait are you being serious though? What course accepts a mystery mark? Not being mean, genuinely curious :OU do know UWS also accepts mystery marks students.
I am not sure what courses, but I know a friends who know another friend who got into Engo but he got a mystery mark.Wait are you being serious though? What course accepts a mystery mark? Not being mean, genuinely curious :O
Maybe there's lots of demand for people with that particular dual speciality and they're trying to encourage people to take it (if UNSW feels like doing the same with science/law that would be really lovely of them) Though I can't see them attracting too many extra people with a difference of .3 in the required ATAR. That's just weird.UNSW Actuarial Studies. FTW
What baffles me, last years ATAR cut off for actuarial studies at MAQ was 96.55, however dobule degree (Actuarial studies and science), atar cut off was 96.25
