I'm inclined to agree with hYperTrOphY. In a problem question, if there is a minority judgment which is directly on point, you should always refer to it after you've dealt with the position of the majority. You don't need much, just a sentence or two to show you're aware of it - otherwise the...

If you are the only one, yes. It's not possible. Either there were more students or that is not an accurate description of their marks.

Hi Corey. :wave: Nope. You are immune for as long as you are ranked first. (By ranked first, I mean absolute first, equal first isn't good enough.) It is worth mentioning at this point that if you're studying a course via distance education through a particular institution, you need to be...

I used to be a huge fan of adventure games too. :) There's a bit of an underground community that has grown up around them, but not many new games are being produced - today's gamers don't really seem to like spending the time to solve and explore adventure games, or can't resist looking for...

Mmmm very interesting! Thanks for following that up DP. Very curious to see their reply. The implication seems to be that they hold the data requested.

That's usually the explanation, yes, but in this case there's a better one. The real difference in scaling between the two courses (at least in 2008) came from the fact that Continuers was capped at a maximum scaled mark of 47 whereas Beginners had no cap (max 50). While the students in each...

The studies I have read indicate that typically a student's performance in the School Certificate explains roughly 50% of their performance in the Higher School Certificate. The remaining 50% is attributable to a range of other factors (some known, some unknown).

We're working on making sure that doesn't happen again.

I'm not sure I agree with your logic. We know that at least one student who took SOR I last year achieved a UAI of 100. You cannot infer anything about the rest of the candidature from the achievements of one student. This is a difficult issue to analyse because the non-linear transformation...

Any news DP? I have become quite immersed in another project which I think will (if successful) outflank much of what we originally discussed in this forum.

Fixed.

Sorry, premium custom status was a casualty of the forum upgrades. It's coming back soon - this week.

Thanks Namu. I am currently awaiting another response from the Board which I expect to receive next week sometime - we can decide on the best approach once I have that.

Any news DP?

It might be easiest to just call them to ask whether they have received it and whether a response will be forthcoming. Don't say anything else to them. If they try to deal with your query over the phone, ask for a written response.

I completely agree. :) My english teacher gave me Wizard's First Rule to read in year 8 and I re-read both it and Stone of Tears a number of times in later years while I had to wait for the sequels to be released. It was almost a shame when the series finally finished last year. Truly...

Sorry, I thought I recalled there being other refusals. OK. BOS is concerned that you're going to determine raw cut-offs from them. You can seek to show either: (a) that disclosure of raw cut-offs is not contrary to the public interest; or (b) that there is no practicable way to determine...

Which parts of your application do you want to pursue? Just the exam scripts, or the lot?

LordPc is correct.

Well, they know me. :) I am not sure about James Sin though...
