I'd prolly off myself.
Nahh
I'd just go to UWS...

You know i was suprised at how good UWS campbeltown looked. it's nice!

 

[axlenatore]

Ill probably break a few things, scream, shout, run like crazy and then get a job at maccas....

Yeah I know.
I actually do want to get in there.
I like their lake, and their copy of the district court is schweeet.

 

[midifile]

Probably be dissapointed for a while but then get over it. Then work out what I want to put for my second choice.

I wanna do comm/law at UNSW. Just say I dont get the uai I need (which is a very viable option considering it is 99+) does anyone have any idea whether it will be easier to transfer from bus/law at UTS or commerce (international) at UNSW? Ive heard from some people its easier to transfer within the uni, but if I do bus/law at UTS id've done a bit of law.

dammet...m soooo stressing out for my HSC results........i feel like running away on the day......i m getting HSC results.......and i very well knoe i wont achieve the UAI m looking for.....its soo killing................totally freaked outt !!!!!

You guys make it sound so nice. I don't feel as bad as putting it as my 2nd choice. Lol.

I always thought

104+ raw = 100
102 - 103 = 99
100 - 101 = 98
99 - 100 = 97
97 - 98 = 96
94 - 97 = 95
ETC

Hold on, this is what I thought too. What's all this talk of percentages out of 100 and then aligning that? I'm confused! That would constitute an entirely different system of aligning compared to other subjects!

Don't worry about it, english is whacked ahaha

gah, now I want to know; I always assumed raw marks out of 105 were aligned to a mark out of 100. I hope a moderator can explain this or something.

 

[iEdd]

All 2 unit subjects are aligned to a mark out of 100.

 

[fallenstar]

All 2 unit subjects are aligned to a mark out of 100.

Yeah, of course. But in the case of Advanced English, how do they create the aligned marks if the exam is out of 105 raw? People on this thread have suggested different ways to meet this end and I'm confused as to which would be correct.

lol, then what about 4 uni maths, 3 unit maths and 2 unit maths?

I think they have set raw - aligned marks scale

yeah
ergh I can't be effed to understand. I'll just wait til Wednesday and hope my approximate raw mark aligns sweetly.

 

[iEdd]

Simple (well, simply said). Each subject aligns differently based on difficulty. BOS forms a cutoff scale with the marks to which each raw mark aligns to.

yep

yeah, I understand this, theoretically. But I have trouble applying it to subjects like Advanced where the maximum raw mark is 105 and the max aligned is 100. Sorry, I lack mathematical logic; I'm a literacy/history buff.

Well it's actually 40% paper 1 and 60% paper two. So that's 100 marks.

Say i got 10/45 and 50/60 (shock horror). I'll not be at 60/105, but rather 58.9/100

 

[fallenstar]

82/105 (80%) in english was aligned to 90 in last year's Advanced English.

Any comments on this?
In light of what you've told me, dp, I don't think it's correct.
If 82/105 aligned to 90/100, does that mean the mark out of 100 raw (40% Paper 1 and 60% Paper 2) was less than 80? That can't be right, to get a band 6...

actually <80 is about right for a ban6 cutoff. its about 77-78 each year i'd expect.

77-78%?
or 77/78 raw out of 105?

(once more I apologise for my mathematical ineptitude)
