I got 41/45 in my trial, so I really hope I can get around 44/45 or so. HOWEVER, the pessimist in me says <40.

The journeys question will test both standard and Advanced kids, so it will be accessible to both. As for the journeys creative, who knows. If they ask us to write a radio interview or something, LOL@me.

I don't think this is true. I've personally asked people who have done very well in English, what they did... and surprise, they've produced at least one generic essay on each module, and just adapted it to the question. One topped James Ruse, and the other came 2nd in the state... As I've...

Wow, some people are actually joking about this. Wonder what ever happened to the compassion around this place. Not surprised though. As for Susan, I didn't know you but you seemed like a cool person. I feel tremendously sad for you and your family, but glad that you're somewhere better now...

In regards to Germany? Yes, and they have asked us questions on that before. "Assess the role of conservative elites in Hitler's ascendency to power." You would discuss Hindenberg and the "back door" political intrigue by the likes of von Schleicher and von Papen, all of whom had either a...

I firmly believe that UMAT scores do not have much to do with the quality/calibre of a student.

Hold on a sec. You need at leas 187 to be considered for an interview? That is ridiculously high, and limits the prospective students to the of 4-5% of those who underttook UMAT! =\ I got an interview from UNSW with 178 UMAT... :\

Re: Fairfield Troung's recommendation - English Haha, yeah I should sleep earlier. Sleeping at 12am tonight. I've been working my arse off in English. Which is, needless to say, my best/favourite subject. =P

Wow, congrats on those fabulous ranks! What's your projected UAI? 99.9ish?

Sydney Tech?

In any case, hopefully 95 is 70/84 so I can get 48. The joys of doing 3U maths. LOLL.

Hm, I guess 70-75 would be around 48/50 then. I hope it's this so I can get 48! :)

I'd say that 90/100 or 45/50 would be around 55-60/84. I reckon 96/100 would be around 70- 73 ish. People tend to forget hat 3U scales ridiculously well.

Re: Fairfield Troung's recommendation - English I'm not denying the fact that Sefton's English department is perfect. Far from it, actually, and I do tend to agree that Sefton's English marking criteria are usually harsh and, in some cases, unfair. However, I don't think there can be any doubt...

Lol, yeah. Though, it will depend on your school... at my school, internal moderation comes into play so if you got mid-60's in your trial, your HSC mark would be around 48-49. Really weird, because mid-60s seems to low. Meh. The benefit of taking 3U as a 1unit subject is that a 97 means 49...

Yeah. Some 98's didn't get state ranks. I hope to get 98 - state rank or not, I don't care. 98!! lol BTW, are you planning to retake 3U, Namu? You got 63/84 in your trial, right? That means that you'll comfortably get a top band, but that might not be enough for you! lol

Actually, the people who achieved state ranks from SBHS last year got 98. Anyway, this is beside the point. It's a fairly safe assumption to make that at SBHS, especially in a course like 2U Maths, there is not much separating ranks 1 to 10. This would show in their final marks too.

He goes to Sydney Boys, so 97 for a rank of 8 is very achievable.

Re: Fairfield Troung's recommendation - English I think Jayadore got 47 lol. Actually, she definitely did get 47.

Re: Fairfield Troung's recommendation - English Sefton's mediocre/poor results stem from the fact that there is a culture of focusing on maths/science, and not enough on English. Most people who complain and moan about the English staff are too lazy to do work, or just dislike English...
