somehow i managed to get a 89 exam mark for modern, no fuckin way i went in with no quotes, didnt know apartheid, didnt revise power and authority and got done in by every question couldnt have asked for more idec about my atar im just happy i did good in this shitty subject for once they def marked quantity>quality and im buying my paper

yeah i got 89 as well but i prepared so much for it all, i think i got cooked by sections 3 and 4 but I'm sure i aced section one like i kinda ate that up, and i had a 25/25 for section 2 so probs did ok in that
but i got 92 overall so it's fine

i know its the the percentage of band 6/e4 papers sat... but look at how many IPT there are, a useless shit subject.

Mate ur actually tarded, ruse has even more useless subjects like agriculture and what not

they legit have like 5 different accelerated subjects whereas nsb only has 1

 

[literallydomfike]

91! same here i was so anxious abt my history exams i thought i messed them up completely but i got 93 for ancient and 91 for modern :-D congrats to both of us!!

yesss the histories saved me i ended with a triple b6 - 91 modern, 96 ancient + 48 hex

 

[justletmespeak123]

thats not how ranking is calculated.

yeah but there's a smh tiktok/article which reports on these kids making a discord group chat to share "math and other problems", implying that they beat them in math

98, 95 raw 2023

Its not really helpful unless for general uni things like asking how the social life of one uni is. Ur better off using reddit if u want to ask specific questions

yeah thanks to r/unsw i found out about goonsoc, very helpful!

The uni reddits are pretty useful for the course reviews and advice - but for social advice? uhhhhhh......

idk whether to go to unsw or usyd...and whether I should do a bachelor of advanced science if I get in

have you been to their open days or other events? They can help you get a feeling for the campus and if you enjoy it there.

Both USYD and UNSW have great reputations for science and are high in the rankings. Though don't put too much stress on rankings, they aren't always a great representation of the uni as a whole. In saying that, both unis are well-regarded and you will most likely get a high-quality education from both.

Do you have a very specific career or area of interest? If so, look into each unis research in that area; one may have lots of interest/academics that specialise in it. If not, don't worry too much about this. Both will have opportunities and if you have something specific you want to do later, and you can easily move if needed or change unis for honours/post grad

Don't underestimate the value in which uni seems more enjoyable for you. We think so much about education, marks, employability etc, and forget how important it is to enjoy life. If you love uni and life in general, you are much more likely to study and succeed, in turn making you a more employable, high achieving graduate also. Whereas if you hate your uni, you aren't going to study and will fall behind and make everything harder for yourself. For example, imo the usyd campus is MUCH nicer that unsw, its closer/easier for me to get to, and its closer to the rest of the city. I'm going to usyd partially for these small reasons, which add up to a lot more. If you enjoy being on campus and enjoy learning, you will do better. For some, unsw might be more convenient, or there might be other specific factor/groups/events/programs that entice them there. So think about your uni student experience too.

Remember you can get multiple uac offers (as long as you change your preferences), so you can give yourself both options.

As to the advanced science, i would say do it if you can. You can easily drop to the standard b.science if needed, without repercussion. You just continue you're degree, though often with some changes as to advanced units later on. My understanding is that you get different prac classes to the rest and some other advanced units throughout the degree. No harm in at least trying it, but not a huge deal if you don't get in.

Finally, don't stress too much. You have two great options, and things can change later on if needed - uni is a lot more open and flexible than most people seem to think. Good luck! Also have a look at the uni websites, there might be some more events in jan if you want to have a look around each uni

question - for the results services check can they give lower ATAR than what you originally got? I have seen people say they can't lower it only increase it or keep it the same but on the UAC website it says:



@jimmysmith560 ?

 

[nitto]

now that it's simmered in for a few days, how yall feeling about the offer rounds on monday if you haven't already gotten a conditional offer

i think this is definitely a possibility, but i honestly wouldn’t worry about it too much. it’s a lot more likely that they would miss marks than allocate more

FWIW i also found this post on atar notes forum which says:

For the 2017 HSC 1304 results checks were filed, as of April 13 (whilst it's likely around 3000 "items" were requested, I can't know if this includes raw marks and paper requests).

Of these requests (either out of 1304 or roughly 2600), nine resulted in a mark being changes.

This is obviously extremely low (0.69% success rate).

https://archive. ********* .com/forum/index.php?topic=178584.0 (sorry idk why it’s censoring ?? it’s just atar notes)

so when it comes to results checks there’s a very small chance your ATAR will be affected at all

 

[karamazova]

speaking of results checks, does anyone else thinks it’s BS you have to order one alongside your examination response? aside from the minuscule horrifying chance of getting a lower mark/atar, i don’t even want a results check! i’m happy with all my marks and it’s an additional $22 on top of the $45 for each subject. literally all i want is a copy of what i wrote but it’s totalling to $221 for three subjects.
