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'.

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..

Yeah, you can't really go on exchange to the Roman Empire for the summer holidays haha

And Harrypotterfan, for your English technique question, 'the veil' could be considered metonymy for an oppressive regime? It's all I've come up with haha

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.

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?

not able to use dictionaries in Latin and Classical Greek is a major factor behind the difficulty level and high scaling...

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.

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

Wait are you being serious though? What course accepts a mystery mark? Not being mean, genuinely curious :O

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.

I think it's all done by the combination of EAS and bonus points ( suburb one )

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.
