Didn't read it Just saw "butterflies"

That's actually not quite right either, but close. Your relative difference to other people isn't preserved in moderation due it the moderation curve being quadratic, and not linear. Someone who is 50% behind first could go to being 10% behind first - it depends on the performance of the cohort...

I literally only analysed the word "butterfly" and discussed the importance of it being in italics twice

It's a lot more complex than that --- very exceptional cases would be determined on a case by case basis by the Board. However, if the mark is the lowest mark in the cohort, then it undergoes an automatic check. An estimated lowest Mark is generated automatically (I can give you the formula if...

That's incorrect, I'm afraid. Your internal mark doesn't depend on other people individually, but on the cohort as a whole. An example of a class of marks, in the form of Actual Internal Mark/Reported Internal Mark/External/HSC 95 - 88 - 88 || 88 87 - 84 - 88 ||86 82 - 82 - 80 ||81 73 - 76 -...

The way it works is that your 'internal mark' is some portion of the total marks achieved externally, determined by rank*. However, if a student underperforms externally, they are (along with their mark) excluded from this pool of total marks. Additionally, your external mark isn't affected in...

I call this one "Whales in the Sky"

I didn't mind, I was thinking about how I can pretend to have studied a piece for my additional topic the whole time

I used modus tollens as an English technique today suck on that English markers who don't know logic :spin:

-insert whale noises-

So, next BoS meet at the Maritime Museum?

How did you feel about that exam? I wasn't prepared for them to ask for a mandatory piece AND an additional topic piece, had to bullshit soooo hard

I love walking

bye bye ATAR <3

I'm using as i think i am by Vi Hart, and I've also got Shackleton by Paul Jarman prepared.

If I remember correctly, you don't write your student number down anywhere. You get given personalised booklets with your number already on them

Although the recent trend has been to use really short quotes, I prefer longer, more substantial quotes. I'll take a sentence and replace parts that aren't necessary for my analysis with [...], then analyse the quote as a whole and maybe focus on a smaller section to further push a point.

Been dealing with this since like year 11 half yearlies tbh Just find a way to relieve that stress I was using the bee filter, but they REMOVED IT A DAY AFTER PUTTING IT BACK I'm heart broken
