Your internal mark DOES contribute to half of your HSC marks. However, every school will receive different marks internally, ie. some teachers mark easily, some mark more harshly, some tests are easier, some are harder. For this reason it is not your internal mark that counts for anything. It...

Are there any subjects that usually have a band 6 cut off ABOVE 90? Just out of curiosity.

Best: Italian Beginners, extension English 1 Okay: English Advanced, SOR1 Worst: Biology and Ancient None of the exams were particularly horrible, but that's pretty much in my order of confidence with them I was aiming for a raw mark of >90 in everything, and bio and ancient are the only...

I thought UAC worked with raw marks?

I'll miss high school but I'm not sad to leave! Yet.

Essay - 5 booklets Story - 3 booklets

Only 18 booklets? Pathetic!

Definitely a legitimate sexual orientation. I don't understand how people can think it's not, it genuinely doesn't make sense to me. I think that bisexuality transcends concepts of gender and instead focuses on the individual themselves. And it is only ever the extreme ends of straight or gay...

I thought that test was amazing, and they didn't pull any horrible texts. It fitted everything that I had prepared, though I admittedly had to tweak my story here and there, but it pretty much fitted the idea the question gave us in the first place! :') I wrote 3 booklets for my story and 5...

Oh God. I didn't realise they did this with every paper, and I had a bit of a freak out because my answering technique includes cramming as much information as I possibly can on the page and under the lines. I looked at the BOS website though: "Both sides of every piece of paper are scanned...

I doubt they will. They've never done it before, and extension is more about the ideas associated with the texts than the texts themselves. They're going to want to see how you apply your understanding of the things you have learnt about these ideas rather than churning out ideas spoon fed to...

So I'm doing Navigating the Global But I only have 2 ways of thinking - postmodernism and postcolonialism. I haven't been taught anything else and I can't even THINK of anything else. What could be a third way of thinking for this topic, just in case they get nasty?

Re: Paragraph Length - Should I split each concept over two paragraphs, two texts eac I went to a thing earlier in the year with senior extension markers. The lady who took my group said that the essay's introduction should be about a page, and your paragraphs should be longer. Don't worry...

How about do you know anyone who's cheated and hasn't been caught?

Re: extra marks!! I was always told killer was just a kind of colloquial way of saying cytotoxic

Re: extra marks!! How do you write to them? I know it's probably a waste of time but I want to do it too. I would have put cytotoxic or killer with confidence if we were only offered one or the other. I know my multiple choice was still pretty weak, (I completely forgot what substance...

There was someone at my school who I thought was cheating during the trials, unless they had a severe bladder problem. I should have said something then to save their sorry ass because apparently they're being investigated for cheating in the HSC: my friend saw the forms on a teacher's desk. I...

Subtle

I know there's probably a perfectly rational explanation for this But I still haven't laughed so hard in a long time

Well, they've never asked for more than 2 before. Hopefully this year isn't the year they decide excess cruelty is permissible.
