My mum and dad are polar opposite; my Dad heaves on the pressure, referring often to the considerable school fees that he pays, while my mum is anxious for me to be relaxed, and would rather that I fail then stress out. They're divorced, and I have a half-week, half-week arrangement going, which...

Don't want to stroke his ego. Low estimate = work harder.

Mid 80s.

Kill 'em all, I say.

That bad, huh?

Fooled me.

Where does one partake in "pigging"?

Isn't polocrosse that posh sport where people ride around on horses and use fucked-up net-sticks to throw balls at each other? Polocrosse and pigging seem to be on different ends of the strange-ass-sports genre if that's the case...

I still have no fucking idea what pigging is. Anyone care to share?

Per 2 week cycle, I have around 18 (50 minutes each).

I have no idea what either of those things are. Pigging sounds funnier though, so I'm going to say that pigging is better to me.

My old English teacher taught us sex. Statement Example (ie quote) eXplanation (techniques and so forth) So you remember a couple of those, and supposedly your set. Seems a bit neanderthalic to me, but whatever, it works for some people.

Whoops, my bad. I got mixed up. I've never used a UAI calculator before, and I should have known that it would have been based on the aligned HSC marks... whoops again.

There's also the alignment of marks to consider, but I don't understand the process enough to explain it comprehensively.

No, scaled does not make it a rank, it is a mere acknowledgement of variation in difficulty amongst courses. For example, getting a mark of 80 in Extension 2 Maths is a much greater feat than getting a 95 in VA, and the scaling system acknowledges this by SCALING the maths mark up to near 100.

No!!!! Only the UAI (or ATAR) is a rank. Everything else is a mark, scaled as it may be.

More inane than offensive, but I agree with you. Someone start a new thread and kill all the trolls.

Yes, I'm sure they were quite sophisticated.

Well... don't. And with regards to my sig, I'm thinking of changing it... but that's still my aim. She doesn't know anything about the ATAR though, so I could get an 85 and convince her that it's the equivalent to 99 UAI.

What? It was shock humour without the humour. I got a few good laughs out of it, but apart from that it was pretty boring.
