i summaries it into the dot points. so i just remember the several key ideas that i can talk about (depending on which are relavent to the question). i don't memorise word for word because then i find it hard to adapt to the question and time limits etc. the idea is that if i have writtien and...

scaling is not linear, while the low end of one subject may scaler better than another, the top end may do the opposite.

put it this way, if you come 2nd at school, then they all bomb out in the hsc, then your high hsc mark will push up one of theirs's assessment mark, and your assessment mark will be not so great. but usually if they beat you in the school assessment, then they will perform about the same as you...

well i only know of one recent attempt, which was by hugh parsonage. the most recent thing i have on this is a SMH article and and ADT report, which doesn't really go into the matter at hand. on the other hand, i recently made a request. 1st time they partially granted my application (raw marks...

you have taken that out of context. it all depends on what you consider plagiarism to be, and i only think so in some situations. also, as far as i'm aware mods can have opinions. if you still want to discuss this, then please do it in the other thread, not this one.

the idea is you should try to get your assessment rank as high as possible.

yeah.. if you take a look at the people at your school who are in the bottom half of English standard (excluding selective schools etc) then they don't generally come here because they don't care about education. i mean, this is an educational site.

well the stats say Members: 243,388. needless to say, some of those are spam bots, etc..

scaling has nothing to do with it. they give out less band 6's simply because very few produce work that the markers consider to be band 6 work. Well, the consensus of people, (including the Board and UAC) refer to this process as aligning. You probably shouldn't name it scaling because people...

Yeah sorry flair101 I should have said that in a more subtle way. And also I second what Karen said about you getting a 95+ UAI. fOR3V3RPINKKKK, I don't have the permissions to move it.

Sorry, unlike you I have had no formal training in education. However I was mealy trying to joke about the situation.

i would rather the teacher just stood there and talked. and used the board when presenting diagrams, etc. copying notes straight fom the board, or dictation is a waste of time. unfortunately this is what most students waste there time doing. a better approach would be to photocopy it and hand...

hahahahaha EDIT: I just saw that the latter part of this discussion is based on this. Personally I hate "leet speak" it is terrible hard to read and comprehend. I agree with what Tulipa is saying. hmm well at my old school you wouldn't. from experience (not that I do it) they just tell you to...

hahaha.. your school must be so short of staff and lack of funding that they have resorted to employing kindergarten teachers for HSC English. They must also have had to cut the cost of text books, hence they decided to get your year to create the teaching materials that will be given to the...

I take it you are referring to this, http://community.boredofstudies.org/showpost.php?p=3062828&postcount=134

if you persist.. then they could also make some lower caliber courses for the people who 'aren't capable' or don't want to do the higher caliber courses. i think that there needs to be more courses. but there is a real problem with this. you end up with more classes with less than 10...

yes which includes making harder courses

becaise the course is more invlolved and more difficult. its a higher standard. e.g. a 2 yr old won't stand a chance in hsc english. the same can be said for many hsc students. the educational system must provide for both the high end and low end of students. not everyone is of the same...

you should have posted this in the UAI/HSC Marks (Guidance & Counsel) forum.

In theory, it should make no (or little) difference at all.
