I've got the UWS "Most Outstanding Year 11~" award - 20k USYD Commerce scholarship - 30k i think it's called the Inspired by Business award AAA UNSW scholarship - 4k I was going to take the UWS one and do the whole adv science pathway to medicine, but i'm just wondering how hard is it to get in...

Hi guys, i'm in a bit of a dilemma regarding my preferences. So I'm interested in the business/legal aspect of things at the moment. I've received a scholarship of $30K from USYD for Commerce, which covers the whole course and it gives me an almost guaranteed entry into the course really, with a...

Hi guys i just got discharched from hospital today after having surgery for my emergency-admitted ruptured appendix after being in hospital for a week. I've been so depressed and full of anxiety during that time to present because i have no idea whats going to happen to me. I know this will...

Thanks for the estimates guys! Just wondering though, they are a little lower than my expectation, is it because of my horrid school rank? I'd appreciate it if anyone could add some more estimates! ta. :)

Finished trials, just wondering how im going thus far to getting a decent ATAR. For the trials we did the CSSA paper for all except for maths 3U and 2U. So, here are my finalised trial results & ranks and overall ranks. English Advanced: 96/105 (1st), Overall Rank= 1st Biology: 95/100 (1st)...

Got chemistry back today, 84%, 13/20 for multiple choice? wth?! -that's horrid. Well im 1st anyway, by far, so that's pretty good :D I'm just waiting on 2u maths now (wasn't CSSA), which i think i'll come in 2nd, i think i did quite atrociously. rank 2's still good right? :(

Yeah, you can drop it whenever -even the day before the HSC for MX1, my friend's uncle actually did this for maths extension lol :)

For belonging; 15/15 for unseen texts 13/15 for creative 15/15 for essay haven't gotten modules back yet, but overall i got 96/105. I think i got low A's for the modules. -.-

Well they shouldn't be telling your marks to anyone, but they are allowed, as far as im concerned at my school. However my teachers would never publicly announce a horrid mark and then proceed to ridiculing it, they'd just simply name the person and follow with a comment like "Marks were not...

91% for maths extension 1, WOOT! Thought I totally stuffed that up!

Work hard with consistency throughout the next ~60 days remaining. You won't ever get these fleeting minutes leading up to the HSC back, so use them well.

kill externals.

Did an all nighter combined with maths and I got 91% overall...I totally screwed up the last essay though, got 15/20? LOL. But seriously, i was not expecting marketing and management and change! second highest was 83%.

Would there be a large discrepancy between the 'harshness' of the marking between schools of substantially different rankings if they all did the catholic paper? Don't the teacher's get a marking criteria or something they need to adhere to? I know of course there will be a slight difference...

Oh my gosh I've been bludging like crazy for the last week since trials ended last friday... i have done absolutely nothing. with ~60 days left starting from tomorrow no more internet for me if its for anything that isn't related to studying...so that's no msn, no ebaying, no gaming, yeah.

Focus on representation and meaning, you need to emphasise construction of the text to convey meaning more than anything in this module and don't disregard the obvious public speaking skills - eye contact, loud voice, dont rely 100% on palm cards, etc+..

Hey, got bio back today for a little bit in class. MC - 19/20 Short ans/long - 52.5 option- 23/25 - but i think my teacher is considering giving 2 marks due to a possible marking error.

Well i haven't exactly gotten my bio paper back due to a disruptive assembly today, but i'll tell you tomorrow when i do get it back. What option topic did you do btw? I did communication.

Haha thanks, same goes for you! lol yeah, the actual HSC doesn't allocate half marks do they? :S

CSSA results; English advanced: 91% overall 1st Biology: 94.5% overall -1st Business: 91.5% overall -1st Getting Chem back this friday! Pretty freaken happy :). School rank: mid 340's. Now I can go compare my marks with my 'selective school cousin' without getting the excuse "you only...
