Ahhh that makes sense...we never got the programs for some reason :P Phew, they only named two people for the Music Extension, so even though I wasn't nominated there is still a chance for a decent mark.

...I thought they didn't have nominations for Musicology. The time I went to Encore (in 2012), they didn't mention anything about it.

I went on the Students Online website today. While I could access my Assessment Ranks before, the link has now turned into just a black heading that I can't click on (ie can't see the page with my ranks on it). Could there be something wrong? I know there probably isn't but I just want to make sure.

Ok I'll join in...97.4

Wow great estimates, hope you guys achieve it! I've been playing around with a few ATAR calculators but been too superstitious to settle on a single estimate for fear I jinx it. Anyway, since my subjects are quite low scaling and considering I don't think my HSC went all that great, I'd say...

No problem :) But its probably a lot of wishful thinking on my part XD Same with you...well done on those great ranks! You're bound to do well!

Re: Do you think the Board of Studies is fatally flawed? Is the Bored of Studies flawed? They will be if they implement this reasoning. As many have said, failure is part of life. The way the system is now, the results don't tell you that you are failing but boy do they do a good job of showing...

I am thinking (hoping), maybe band 6 cut off would be 79-85 raw...so 67 would be a band 5.

Yes mine is the same...came =4th but it comes up as just 4th. Not going to bother annoying the school about it though, since I did not go down. Otherwise, all exactly the same as report :)

Yup....if you say so. I am glad they at lease acknowledge the HSC paper is the problem. If they want anything to change, that's where they need to start.

Not wrong, as long as you backed it up :)

Fair enough, but surely 700 (probably less) people admitted across many courses would not make that much of a difference? Does your course have any other criteria you have to meet? If so, you will probably not be affected in the least.

I did Musicology Extension HSC :) Choosing a topic was difficult for me also, but once I did it was great fun and I hope you enjoy it also. gee-dee-enn95 has already given you great advice, it's all about what you are interested in. However, the things I will add is that the markers are looking...

My two cents worth...I would say for a place like UWS its very reasonable to do so. Looking at the ATAR requirements for the courses, the demand is nowhere near UNSW/USyd and I doubt 700 students granted leniency due very understandable and stressful circumstances will leave anyone else severely...

I usually got pretty good marks for my creatives during the HSC so here are some of my tips: 1.Steer clear of the cliches, especially stories about teenage angst. Issues such bullying and body image are very common to teenage life, but it is because they are so ubiquitous that they have become...

Being "on top" is pretty vague, since there are many ways to achieve. Not sure if I would fit your criteria entirely (certainly not a genius and will never claim to be one) but here is how I handle 'achievement'. Some have said that they enjoy doing something because it allows them to prove...

Hmm don't feel like I've had the best HSC campaign. I was hoping for a b6/e4 for all subjects except for maths, where I was aiming for a band 5 but now that just seems way too far fetched. By far, my two worst mistakes were misinterpreting the belonging question in English paper 1 and missing...

Jack the Ripper is the sort of controversial topic that is best for the history project :) There is tons of stuff out there, so its best to narrow it down, but not too much. For instance I did Peter the Great of Russia for mine, then narrowed it down on historians' opinions on his reforms, then...

Don't worry! Mine had four characters (well three important ones, one played a minor role). I don't think they meant we had to write solely about two characters that never met, it just has to be a feature.

Couldn't believe my luck when I saw the question :) I had 1 good one and 3 that were really mediocre. The good one was the only one that ended up fitting it anyway, I couldn't stop smiling in reading time.
