bruhhh thats what theyre telling us. THeyre telling us trials and crap dont matter now idk who to believeAh okay awesome thankyou, the teachers at my school (which does rank top 10) keep telling my rank (which is not as high as i would have liked it to be) is fine and the school will push us up but I don't want to solely rely on it ya know
they're right in that they don't matter anymore once you're done because you can't change them now, its better to just focus on the hsc and forget about trials
they would tell us before we even sat the trial exam (like literally 5 minutes before the exam "trials dont matter they're just a test")
im guessing that they're just trying to calm down nerves but theyre sorta right in the sense that usually they're only weighted 30% of your internal, which is similar to a normal in-class test
exactly ^^^^
scholarship (as you said)yeah I’m probably going to do civil engo at usyd which gives 10 bonus points for rural kids so I only need an 80 atar
were u rural
no
that makes me feel better maybe it will help
I don't actually know if it did I just made that up...
I have a very strong feeling that we go to the same school
your external mark will still be whatever you get in the HSC, your internal mark, say you're 10th, would be whatever the 10th highest mark someone in your cohort gets. This is a simplification of what they actually do (Cause they look at how your internal marks were distributed, etc) but it shows basically how the system works, so you 100% should work hard for externals but also pray your cohort does well so your internal mark is good as well.
how is your atar 98.75 with those marks?
HAHA THE FACT U ACTUALLY CHECKED. Also those calculators arent 100% accurate
