    Is it possible to achieve 99+ ATAR from taking both histories?

    Anna...I just thought you could possibly confuse people by giving them so much information. And do they really need to know more than "do what you love and you will succeed"? And Shadowdude, no, you're name's not Edwin. It's Eddie. You made a comment on my BoS profile page that no one except...

    ITT: We discuss what you would DO to a pregnagnt girl if she was your Girlfriend

    I would love and care for her and the child during the pregnancy and its life. Don't be cruel. An embryo is alive as soon as the egg is fertilised. A foetus shouldn't be killed.

    Which is the easiest Option Topic?

    Well the class could ask to have a vote on it where the teacher's vote only counts for 1 and is not worth more. I'd do genetics, but that's because I loved it in Year 10, love it still and will maybe even do a Bachelor of Genetics at ANU. :)

    Scaling (need help on selecting subjects)

    Um, I was trying to help. I was not trying to talk him out of doing Chemistry. Sorry if it sounded that way. I have experienced these courses before. My friends did them and I have read the syllabi and textbooks. I'm not speaking from no experience, I'm speaking from some experience - there is a...

    How many words for 5 mark, 10 mark, 15 mark, 20 mark questions?

    Agreed, three pages for a 7 mark question is excessive, unless you draw diagrams at the recommended "half a page size". Anna's just so smart she enjoys writing more than she has to. Probably because she's Asian and pregnant. Joking:haha: I'm a jerk, lol

    Atar ranking system

    What you can do with ATARs is allocate each position a rank. Start at 99.95=first, 99.90=second, 99.85=third :)

    What is the most interesting HSC science course

    LMFAO :D "Renaissance man" dude that is classic~! 4 Unit Mathematics is a science. The universities consider it to come under the broad heading of "science" but the Bachelor of Arts at a lot of NSW universities also offers mathematics It's an artform and a science:sun: Very prestigious...

    Yr 11 Electives Advice please....

    Chemistry sucks. Don't do it OP. Georgia Stenning from Marian College Online) who did her HSC last year in 2009 told our maths class, "Chemistry sucks. No seriously, don't do it." Admittedly I believe she got a Band 6, but she's a genius and good at stuff she hates/hated. Covalent bonding is...

    Yr 11 Electives Advice please....

    The key word being was not is. The subject may or may not be capped in 2011. It is really impossible to say with 100% accuracy and certainty, "general maths will never be uncapped in its life". If everyone did poorly in the external HSC examination for General Mathematics in 2011 due to the...

    Yr 11 Electives Advice please....

    You do not need Mathematics Extension 1 or Extension 2 to score a rank of 99.95 (First place in the country, as ATAR will be nation-wide from 2010, except for Qld who are stuck in the past.) You can achieve first place in the state with those subjects. It is highly possible that if you work...

    Belonging: Related Text Suggestions

    Re: films for belonging Your school isn't actually allowed to mark you down due to their ridiculous anti-gay sentiments. That would put you at a disadvantage for the HSC, and their are rules and laws to prevent that happening. If you want to do Brokeback Mountain and think you know how to...

    Who is ready for yr 11?

    My PDHPE teacher didn't comment on my practical skills very much. She just said that my PDHPE theory work was to an excellent standard and that my practical skills showed competence in the sports we did. I got a B-grade overall. Would have got an A had the course been solely theoretical, like...

    Which newspaper do you read?

    I absolutely love The Sydney Morning Herald. Good Living and Good Weekend are my favourite liftouts. I love the foodie articles and recipes. I also enjoy the political news and arguments. Altogether it's a great read. Worth the money and the time for sure. :)

    Who thinks the HSC is unfair?

    Stupid. People who like Economics but don't like Aboriginal Studies would obviously find Aboriginal Studies harder. It comes down to doing what you love, that's what will be easy. Not "anyone" or everyone would agree that Economics is harder than Aboriginal Studies. They are completely...

    Is it possible to achieve 99+ ATAR from taking both histories?

    This actually deserves a negative reputation. You haven't bothered to PM me and ask what I meant. I hardly maintain that you are misleading. I just said it confuses people to give them so much information - it's like an overload. But if you want to misinterpret everything I say and take...

    Should I have kept English Ext 1?

    Technically almost every achievable mark scales down in almost every subject. You have to get >95 normally to receive a scaled mark (/50) that is a higher percentage than you original (raw) mark. Universities use your moderated assessment mark and raw HSC examination mark to calculate the ATAR...

    Should I have kept English Ext 1?

    No marks "scale you up or down". That is not how the universities work with your marks. They do not look at them and say, "easy subject, minus 10 points." Or "super hard MX2, plus 50 points". That's not how ATARs are calculated. This "scales up" and "scales down" business is just a simple way...
