    Band 6 Cut Offs

    Depends on what subject you are talking about. Assuming you are talking about English, then a raw 90 may scale up to around 94-95. It also depends on moderation of your internal marks, which will depend quite significantly on cohort performance, as I believe aggregate of HSC marks = aggregate of...

    fkn inequalities mex2

    One more point I wanted to add is that usually with Question 16 of 4U, a good portion of the entire state won't even attempt it. So in some ways, any marks you can get in this question are golden for your overall performance. With regards to Question 16 as well, I would leave around 40-50...

    Maths Ext 2 Predictions/Thoughts

    Just wanted to say good luck for everyone doing Maths Extension 2 tomorrow. Also passing this message on to Maths Advanced students and Maths Standard 1/2 students as well 👍

    still haven’t started doing anything for maths

    I'd say if there's a subject out of all of them you may not have studied for, it's kind of good in a way that it's maths. That just may be coming from me, but unlike content-heavy subjects like English and the humanities, any level of maths is just learning the theory and applying it in the form...

    Common Silly Mistakes

    I would also add: Forgetting to add units (questions on currency, area/volume, measurement) For indefinite integrals, make sure to add the constant of integration for completeness For integration in general, forgetting to write dx Not testing nature of stationary points for graphing (using...

    HSC English Marking

    I don't think everyone does that though. People with a regurgitated essay may just rewrite it, sometimes potentially without thinking about the question. You also have to consider about the fact that writing topic sentences isn't just re-wording the question, as some students may think it is. It...

    MATHS ADVANCED

    You'd think that people would recognize what it equates to, but you may be surprised at the fact that some people may go about this in a very long and unnecessary manner.

    bye bye studying

    If it's unconditional, there shouldn't be any inherent requirements (apart from just completing the HSC), but you'll have to look into the details of that as I'm not 100% sure on it.

    extra points for being in an LGA?

    I think the link --> https://educationstandards.nsw.edu.au/wps/portal/nesa/about/news/covid-advice/hsc-exams-and-major-projects/covid-19-special-consideration-program , mentions in detail how it works and what you can apply for specifically.

    bye bye studying

    Are your early offers ones where you just have to finish the HSC or do you have to get a minimum ATAR to be eligible for them?

    UAC question

    I'd say Year 12 would be the highest level of schooling completed (being in the middle of HSC exams insinuates you have finished Year 12 formally, and just have exams left) ... but on a technicality, you could argue Year 11. I don't think they would be too fussy about it on the UAC application...

    Proving fundamental theorem of calc

    https://educationstandards.nsw.edu.au/wps/portal/nesa/11-12/stage-6-learning-areas/stage-6-mathematics/mathematics-advanced-2017/content/2606 The link above explains in depth about what it entails. But essentially, it is a theorem which shows how the integration of a function and the...

    Bachelor of Medical Science Lateral Entry to Medicine

    I believe USYD, apart from their usual 7 year medicine program (3 of which is a bachelor of science followed by a 4 year medicine degree), they have a postgraduate 4 year MD program. I've attached the link for it below. https://www.sydney.edu.au/courses/courses/pc/doctor-of-medicine0.html

    https://med.unsw.edu.au/sites/default/files/documents/Lateral%20Entry%20Scheme%20for%20UNSW%20Medicine_March%202020.pdf I thought the above link would be useful to find out more information about the process. With regards to your initial question, I don't know anyone who has done it through...

    ASAP - titration - rinsing equipment question

    1) The burette should be rinsed with distilled water first, then the titrant at the end (solution which does into burette) to not affect concentration 2) Similarly, the pipette should be rinsed with distilled water first, then the indicator which will be transferred from the pipette (I think...

    Maths Ext 2 Predictions/Thoughts

    I think Q16 this year may have a difficult proofs question, as last year's exam had relatively straightforward proofs (not Question 16 standard)

    extra writing booklet

    Hopefully they are able to identify the issue 🤞 Did you put your student number on the new booklet? Because if you did, hopefully they can identify that you used 2 booklets and staple them together or something (not sure how they manage multiple booklets) when marking

    Modern History 2021 HSC Exam Predictions/Thoughts

    Congratulations on that ... definitely should be much more relaxing. Just curious though as to how you've finished so early, considering there's only been 4 days of exams?

    Science

    I have a feeling it may tend to lean more towards indirect, as based on the definitions @Hivaclibtibcharkwa gave above, it is more likely for someone to sneeze on an object or in the air than directly on someone (well I hope that would be the case anyway).

    Science

    I think just going through each of the options: It can't be D logically as indirect and direct contact are different Vector transmission is (according to Google) when a living organism carries an infectious agent to a new host (which I don't believe happens when someone sneezes) Direct...
