University economics is quite different to high school economics. It really depends on what side of economics you get into I guess, but the employment probably isn’t as stable as say accounting where you can work towards a specific accreditation to get a certain job.

Kind of. By upgrade, I mean trying to get a higher selection rank at uni than your ATAR to get into a course with a higher cutoff.

No bonus points if you’re not in y12

Just note that some courses may not be offered in the preliminary offer rounds, or some offer rounds may be reserved for early entry only. Don’t be shocked if you don’t get an offer in a designated offer round - it’ll defs come later provided your ATAR is sufficient and you aren’t trying to...

and students are not entitled to receive it either.

Blue is not allowed. Not sure about penalties but I think it has something to do with the scanning. I'm sure that they make the same pen in black... Tbh it might be best to look for a favourite black pen. It's better to use a pen you're familiar with, rather than the convenor giving you some...

SRS is an early entry scheme... https://www.uac.edu.au/future-applicants/scholarships-and-schemes/schools-recommendation-schemes

Their special offer comes with lenience applied for most degrees at the traditional offer round stage.

As I said before, I honestly don't think early entry should be viewed as an entitlement. There will be considerations put in place for all students in the traditional offer rounds with COVID in mind.

Have you thought about how COVID could be compounding on top of their own disadvantages?

If you’re not in a gateway school, are you eligible for seifa? If not, then no.

Nup! Nobody has an entitlement to an early entry spot tbh. Macquarie believes that their scheme allows admission for students whose ATAR may not be the best indicator for success, and UNSW uses their scheme to target disadvantaged students whose ATAR may not be reflective of their capabilities...

UNSW does not have an SRS pathway for all students, whereas MQ is open for all students. They are 2 different early entry programs so there is no reason why they'd be operating in the same manner.

This. Alignment is based on standards. Band 6 doesn't mean 90+, rather, it's a qualitative set of outcomes like "Effectively demonstrates....". You may not need a 90+ to demonstrate such outcomes. If someone in advanced successfully gives the borderline scrape band 6 vibe, whilst only scooping...

It is *aligned* in such a way that advanced band 6 = standard band 6 in terms of English capability. Very very few standard students can show a band 6 advanced level mastery, so very few are awarded band 6s. This means that adv and standard scale *exactly* the same (as intended). It is just...

Yes, I agree that it should be up to the individual to argue their opinion. Some students in the advanced cohort at my school tried to add critic’s analysis but not sure how successful it was.

Some subjects it’s pretty impossible to push the band 6 barrier so any B6 is a state rank. A while ago, state rank standard English was low 90s whereas state rank advanced would require 98-99

nah it's actually quite involved and delves into the nutrition/food science industry aspect

In no particular order * General maths (old syllabus) * CAFS * PDHPE * Society and Culture * Food Tech * Senior Science * Music 1

MX2 is not as other-worldly as people make it seem. But yeah it’s probably the hardest HSC subject. Now where’s the thread on the easiest/bludgiest subjects 😂
