Marks are more important than ranks, provided the assessments are consistent with HSC standards. Let's say you're 3rd out of 50. Sounds good right? You're only 1 rank from 2nd, and 2 ranks from 1st! But now let's look at your marks. 1st and 2nd have marks in the 90s, but your mark is in the...

Not necessary in 3U.

Re: UNSW chit chat thread 2016 Last exam ever on the 8th, and it's an afternoon exam!

Grades aren't everything, but even if you do get a conditional offer, you will need a 96 ATAR. No, not limited. Your extra curricular activities are the most important aspects of the application. You need to demonstrate keen interest in Electrical Engineering, as well as other skills that...

95 in Business is around 92/100, whereas a 94 in Physics is around 89/100. You need to gain more raw marks in Business. But a 95 in Physics requires around 92/100 as well.

Why are you comparing two different marks? Comparing 94 for both and 95 for both, Physics scales higher.

If it's unavoidable or you are overloading by choice, then you just do it. A few weeks will be quite intense, especially if you have courses with group work.

Those cutoffs are for 2016, they are not for you. Unless a university specifies a guaranteed entry score for 2017, you are competing against everyone for a position. The cutoffs indicate the ATAR of the student who received the last available position. If there are still vacancies, then an...

In Modern and Ancient, you learn history. In Extension, you learn about history. There are schools of thoughts that argue history is merely a construct of what historians tell us. Others say there can be absolute, objective history. How has 'history' developed over the years? There is a clear...

Small chance because if you don't receive an offer for your first preference, it means all possible offers for that course were handed out. But of course people may decide to reject that offer, meaning you may have another opportunity in a later round. Good luck.

None of that shows or proves there are 'inflated' WAMs at UNSW - ask any average or above USYD student and they will 100% agree with me. In fact, you're just showing USYD has shit a marking process and shit lecturers. I would be more concerned about a uni not awarding marks where deserved and...

It's scaling for the higher versions of certain courses, not 'advanced' courses. Not all advanced courses have both a higher and normal version. Both versions are graded together, which means it's quite normal for the higher version to be scaled appropriately. Please don't make it sound like...

from a source that is from 16 years ago... please In no way does that show unsw inflates their grades.

Can you even read a graph? That distribution excludes the fail grades. It even says "Cumulative Proportion of All Passes". Around 6% of grades are fail grades. The average is definitely lower than 70.

For the 2016 entry, there were still vacancies at the Main Round stage, meaning that 91 cutoff which was shown was just the advertised cutoff. [1] I think you should definitely put it as your first preference, and apply for FEAS, but I think you should be able to get in without the need for all...

Yeah what about it? It doesn't say anywhere that they average is 70.

Where does it say that?

Do you think you will be eligible for bonus points?
