    How well did u go for first HSC assessments?

    What do you think happened though? As long as you can improve your rank later, you'll be fine. ^_^

    Trouble memorising notes

    Well if you understand the topics and know the relevant points, then there isn't much use "memorising" your notes is there? The responses you write in exams and in tasks need not be carbon copies of your notes; in most cases, you will need to modify or amalgamate your information/knowledge into...

    Trouble memorising notes

    Hm, do you understand the topics? My maths teacher says, "Gosh, people write but they don't actually WRITE!" - in other words, people may write, but not register what it's saying? You might try recording your notes and listening to this as you read over your notes? Or colour code your notes...

    Hey particular source help

    When analysing propaganda, take some of these points into consideration: - Propaganda does not aim to provide a balanced view of an issue; it is there to persuade and convince the audience of a particular viewpoint. - It often uses exaggerated language to create emotive appeal/connection with...

    Hey particular source help

    I would agree with most of this, except for any source analysis, your assessment of its reliability must come BEFORE you state how useful it is for something.

    How well did u go for first HSC assessments?

    Depends on your school, subjects, actual marks and ranks.

    How well did u go for first HSC assessments?

    Well it works both ways. For my 3U assessment, I got 39/46. It was weighted 15%. So converting it, I got 12.7/15. This is rounded up to 13/15. Conversely, my friend who got 41/46, got 13.3/15. So this is rounded down to 13. Theoretically, anyway. It might not actually happen to this, but...

    How well did u go for first HSC assessments?

    Yeah, it has. Really, it should be 24.2/25, but they only work on whole numbers or halves. At least, at my school anyway. Don't worry though, the weightings are calculated at the end anyway, so if you get a mark like say 24.3/25 in another, ended up with 48.5/50 (hypothetically), this will be...

    How well did u go for first HSC assessments?

    Cal, 61/63 is 24/25. So your score, when weighted, is 96%. Damn good.

    How well did u go for first HSC assessments?

    Wowowow Yeeshu =) You've done really well. I wish I could have accelerated in geography. Instead, I spent year eleven withering away in biology -.-

    Honest opinions needed

    Try aim for around 2 or 3 band sixes for your subjects for a 93UAI.

    Honest opinions needed

    Girraween is quite a good school. To firmly entrench yourself within the mid-90s UAI range, lift your ranks and I'm sure you're going to do fine.

    James Ruse, nsghs, sghs

    Okay. And yes, as illogical as it sounds to me, some people do move. "some people just have their eyes set higher and want better chances in their HSC" How insulting to NSG, which has one of the best records in the HSC. In what ways could going to Ruse actually help you improve your UAI? NSG...

    James Ruse, nsghs, sghs

    Just because the masses do it, does not make it sensible in the least. The fact of the matter is that people leave, from top ten selective schools, for other schools which are ranked only marginally higher. Where is the logic in doing this? Why spend your time fitting in and whatever when you...
