Thanks for the help. So Im assuming state ranks are simply determined on the highest overall HSC marks?

The more you go on abou Wales the more confused I get Koray. I don't think i'll ever understand what you were talking about. Basically, cosmology got kicked because the Board of Studies is really poor and more people finished philosophy and its more popular. p.s. @ Pwner Kebab: remember you...

having all homework done on time. Keeping up to date with summaries for subjects. Allocating time each week for revision. Actually using free periods. hand in assessment tasks completed early so you can do multiple revisions if needed.

If you think youre going to enjoy 4U over business then do it. Just remember, extension 2 is a lot of work (way more than business). If youre 1st in 2U and 3U then you should be fine. It would help if you want to do science of any kind.

Ask your teacher. When you approach they're usually pretty helpfull, especially if you come across curious and wanting to learn rather than critical. If you seem to be saying "Im perfect and amazing. Why the hell didnt you g ive me full marks for this question?", then they probably wouldnt be...

I was just randomly wondering, what happens when 2 people are tied for rank 1 internally in a subject and they get different external marks? Do they both get the same internal mark or does the one who did better externally get the better internal mark as well? Also, at my school in year 12...

What other people got probably isn't going to give you any idea what youre going to get. You have no idea how smart they are compared to you. People get really high atars/uais (i.e. 99+ or even 99.95) with nearly any combination of subject. But then again, people get low ones with most...

Pwner Kebab is devastated there is no cosmology for him. =( Hopefully this won't be the last year for philosophy. Hope not many people drop

Not easy. All of them were somewhat doable though. History and memory was pretty simplistic, but mod A was all a bit unexpected. Exploring suffering and identity in Donne & W;t? what the hell. Mod B for speeches was pretty tricky, talking about the concept of justice in Atwood & Deane's speeches...

9.5, 8.5, 8.5 = 26.5. Pretty happy with that =)

Your best 2 units of English count no matter what. So if you do ESL, standard, or only advanced then both untis count no matter what. However, if you do 3 or 4 unit then at a minimum your best two count. Your best two being those which will contribute the most points to your aggregate for ATAR...

At least drop to 12 units. What are your marks like in ukrainian? Also you didn't mention liking legal so you could definetely drop that to start with. You dont want to do heaps of units come trials, or even worse come the HSC. Doing 4 units this year was painful enough.

Do it. Worst comes to worst you can always drop it again. I guess your teacher might just kill you though...:shoot:

Board of Studies News: Official Notice - Applications for the Distinction Course in Philosophy for 2010 Anyone planning on doing it? Unfortunately Cosmology got cancelled. Sucks if you wanted to do it. Probably going to apply.

Q1: 5.5 pages, 13 Q2: 7 pages, 12-13 Q3: 8 pages, 13-14 ... Hopefully Hoping 39+ total. Not sure I'll get it, was not too happy after exam. Looking slightly better in retrospect.

At Gosford selective '09>08>10 =( My year has soo much to live up to. Thank god I'm doing english early.

That would be too cruel. I think they would realise their mistake as soon as supervisors started calling up saying 'mass suicide at gosford high blabla bla". If they prescribed sadat id just talk about 3, but even so. Yuk. I really hope they don't prescribe a Donne poem for Mod A. It would...

A lot of people took the understanding of self approach. Personally I hated the question, it seemed a little out of nowhere. I found I had enough to write about, but i found myself having to say and this results in this which means... blablabla. Basically I spent too long on this so I didn't...

There's nothing wrong with taken 10 units to the HSC with 4U English as a part of them. Just wait til after half yearlies to drop to 10 units because it is such a self motivated subject. And don't worry about not doing maths for your HSC if you know you won't need it for uni and you don't like it.

Hey Jordy. 90+ Atar should be pretty achievable for you because you'll do really well in 4U so it probably won't matter if you drop to standard. Mind you, you would probably end up with a better mark doing advanced if you're getting 75+ raw because it scales better. Next year just don't try...
