Aww wish my school did that. It would have been me then XD Our dux is just whoever gets the highest ATAR, which I suppose is the best way to do it.

I think it is possible, keep working hard from now till the HSC. Best of luck!

OMG! I took the advice posted here and turned the sophistication up a notch. Today I got it back and.. BAM! 20/20 :D Thank you guys ^^

Everyone struggles with this to some extent, I'm battling it right now. Did 4 hours of solid study today and feel absolutely great! Main thing is just to keep going. Don't be discouraged if you find yourself distracted. Procrastination is not a death sentence as long as you go back to your work...

It is impossible to tell unless you give your rankings, raw marks on their own mean absolutely nothing.

LOL sorry. For some reason I read it as "internal marks have no effect" my bad. So theoretically, everyone around the state who is 1st in a particular course is in the running for a state rank in that course?

But I thought internals are 50% of your final HSC mark...

Just keep working and do well in the externals. Getting your aim is not impossible at this point :)

Did mine today :) Pieces were fine, aside from relatively negligible hiccups caused by nerves it was ok. Stuffed up sight singing though -_- I know its only the first day and the majority would not have done it, but if you have post your reactions. I'm curious to know what you guys thought.

Update: I have been told today I am 4/38 in maths (the highest non 3 unit person), but that won't really change the ATAR estimates I have already got, would it?

Tbh, I think the idea itself is not as important as the world that you create within your story, both internal and external. The easiest way to make your story stand out is to have a different setting, I did this pretty much for all my creatives since year 9 and its never failed me. Try setting...

Really? How so?

Its ok, I'll see ur brother from Ruse next yr then, TAFE for lyf!! XD Thank you, my realistic aim is around there :) I think (hope) that he was being sarcastic. He posted insanely good results in another thread and I jokingly commented that they indicate a 40-50 ATAR. But thank you, if I...

I know this board has been flooded with these lately. That's probably the reason I am doing this, since it made me even more curious. School Rank: Somewhere between 110 and 130 (Partially Selective) English Advanced: 2/32 (2 marks behind the 1st ranked person) English Ext 1: 1/10 Ancient...

Come one that's a bit harsh... If he gets his act together I think he totally capable of 44 or 45, who knows, maybe even into the 50's! Naah but in all seriousness, these are amazing marks and ranks. Probably the best I have seen on BoS so far. Provided your brother does well in the externals...

So does that mean, since I am only 2 marks apart from the person coming 1st in English Advanced, my final mark would be about 2 marks away from his?

Yayy, just found out I topped the Trial in advanced English :) Also, 100% for my last ever maths test.

I was in pretty much the same position. Dropped physics without a second thought and never regretted it for a moment. I think it comes down to what you feel you would do better in. The HSC is, after all, pretty much all about those high ranks. Just have a look at your Ancient cohort, if its...

Wow! Mine was due way back in June! Passing it is not impossible. I wish you the best of luck :)

Do you mean at school or to study? At school we use Antiquity 2 and two Pamela Bradley Books, one for Pompeii and the other for Ancient Egypt. Her Pompeii one is especially comprehensive. I studied from it for an exam and completely smashed it :) For overall study, I prefer to make my own notes...
