    Putting your trial marks Into a Atar calc.

    I think its obvious that the trial mark isn't your internal assessment mark. This is because the internal assessment mark has to be moderated in accordance to the HSC external mark. Therefore, the school doesn;'t give you it for your final reports. Myself, I only got 87 in the atar calculator...

    The Best Things About The HSC????

    I didn't know 'best' and 'HSC' could go into the same sentence. Hours of study, ontop of hours of disappointment and then you drive along the tracks of burning out. Hmm.. i say it is the beginning to more pain when we enter uni.

    To what extent can 'acing' the HSC improve your assessment mark?

    I've read people saying 'Acing the HSC', 'its 50%, you still got a chance', 'Its not over yet'. Yes, the HSC is 50%, but how much significant difference can it make? For example, say student A got 80% for internal assessment, but 90% in the external assessment. Would your effort and hard...

    How to get 63 atar?

    63 atar, can be achieved by coming average or abit above it. hell, if your below average, a 60 atar is manageable! If you are coming dead last, then you get a very cool thing called 'mystery atar!'

These include, but not limited to : 'I cbf doing this anymore...', 'Omg, 1hr to go? Ok... ill write ANYTHING'. 'Oh man, wish I was playing that super cool runescape game right now...

    English standard marking absurd!

    Go to the english co-ordinator, and get it remarked. Thats the only way you can prevent these bs. I got 14/25 for an assessment (Teacher was heaps inconsistent... even the 'lower-tier' students got 21/25, sooo naturally I complained. Got a 22/25). I could of gotten higher if it was first time...

    In yr 11, I remember looking at the 'Circular Flow of Income' and going 'Is my teacher on crack? What all this Y? I? X? M? Leakages and Injections? Oh man, and fiscal policy was the worst.

    Teachers and Bos in regards to marking

    Pshh, yah... flawss. I hate how hand-in assessments weigh similar to exams, but total marks are alot less then exams. Say, 20% for hand-in but only out of /30. Exam could be 25% but out of /80. Now, each mark in the hand-in is actually worth more % wise compared to the exam. Therefore, you need...

    what happens if you fail one of your preliminary exams?

    Tbh, no one mentions year 11 after they enter year 12. (Except for bragging rights?) Also : no one mentions year 12 after they enter uni (Except for bragging rights?) In short, once you move forward, you don't really move back. Why would your school ask you to repeat year 11? (Or if you're...

    UTS vs Macq for Business or Commerce with Comp Engineering + Question on HSC Plus

    From what I've heard, Business is really no different to Commerce, but I may be misinformed. (That is UTS Business is only abit different to USYD/UNSW Commerce). 'It is similar in format and structure to a B.COM' (Quote Wikipedia LOLOL http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bachelor_of_Business). UTS...
