No he's 100% legit and one of the best tutors.

Except for maths and some science subjects, prelim was utter useless. Legit just scrapped a pass for extension 1 mathematics for prelims but did well in the HSC anyway cos I got my act together (check my signature for the rest of the story about maths).

Actually found him. His marks are correct but his head ain't though.

If you feel maths is gonna hinder you, stay away from it and destroy your other subjects to get that atar. For commerce, except for finance and financial economics and economics related majors, you do not need year 11-12 maths. Otherwise do an abridging course for maths afterwards if you feel...

Sydney Grammar

Was in the exact situation and I did try doing all 13 units for half a term. For some stupid reason, I dropped extension 2 maths because I thought chemistry was useful but now I recommend you pick up extension 2, keep 13 units for one to two months and decide which subject to drop since yr 12 is...

Nope, only way is to ask the state rankers yourself. E.G. 94 would land a State rank for IDT and 99/100 would land a state rank for all levels of maths but definitely 100 for extension 1.

Last year a 2u/3u student state ranked ext 1 so they also look at your 2u mark.

They also use their other maths subject as well to determine it.

Definitely extension 1 is helpful for engineering but not for finance, well depends on the uni. I had a friend who didn't do extension 1 but self taught himself and he did an engineering subject, coped fine but he definitely said extension 1 was beneficial.

No scaling depends on the entire cohort doing your subjects. I think you are confusing scaling with moderation for which BOSTES has fully explained this process with the following link. http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/hsc-results/moderation.html

Re: UNSW Chit Chat Thread 2015. Thanks for the reply. Two quick questions, how better is Joakim Bang compared to Henry Yip and how much harder is 2624 compared to 1613?

Re: UNSW Chit Chat Thread 2015. Will it be hard if I did two fins subjects next sem (2nd year 1st sem), FINS1612 and FINS2624? Any reviews on lecturers Jason Zein or Natalie Oh like which one is superior for 1612?

Yes but lift your game for mathematics when you sit the final exam. :)

Not everyone's cup of tea. I personally hate it (worst thing I have ever encountered) but I know many who really enjoy it and super enthusiast.

http://rawmarks.info/ if you meant by alignment not scaling. http://www.uac.edu.au/documents/atar/2014-ScalingReport.pdf and you have to have a look at the stats for 'scaled marks'.

Re: UNSW Chit Chat Thread 2015. Lol they're making it 45 minutes, paper-based and closed book for the next quiz after they found out about the screenshotting (No other reason to change it) ... Can they just have online quizzes at home please. Inb4 people take photos of the quiz lol.

Re: UNSW Chit Chat Thread 2015. This was the same story with FINS last semester (couldn't take the quiz though), this is why you choose later tutorials during the week. They honestly should've kept the online format (like 1A) like past semesters.

Wouldn't say nervous but seriously intensive.

Nah way more.
