This. Tbh I never really got why parents give rewards for doing well.

Nah its not. Back in the old days, there were only around 22 100's, and then around 45 of the rest. This is because the way they calculated it was that you got 100 UAI if you were above the 99.975th percentile, 99.95 if you were between the 99.925-99.975th percentile etc. So within every 0.05th...

Yeah no worries- though I don't think you'll find THAT much difference tbh... just more consistency and precision in expression

Sooo sorry for late reply. Anyway, we were tested on: MX2 -> All of complex, ellipses from conics and there was one question on implicit differentiation MX1 -> Integration (including substitution, volumes, Simpson's rule etc), trig (solving equations, differentiation etc.), graphing (using...

I agree that the student is the main determinant of their own ATAR but I also strongly believe I would not have gotten the ATAR I did at a comprehensive school. Reasons for this are 1. At a selective school, there are others of a similar ability to you. We could help each other, share notes and...

Yeah same- that would be heaps cool. I'll ask one of my friends who got a high state rank in chem to get his paper. Though I read his trial and compared it to mine and its exactly what you said. His 6/6 answers are the same as my 6/6 answers etc. -> the point is that he just is more consistent...

Check to make sure the markers marked every question, things were entered into the computer correctly (i.e. if a marker gave you 16/20, that it wasn't entered as 15/20) etc. It ISN'T a remark at all. And is anyone here buying back their exam responses? I'll probs get mine for phys, chem, eco...

My view- its year 11- stuff it. Year 12 you might get something out of it but honestly, what's the advantage in being a few weeks ahead of others in year 11?

CONGRATS!!! on your ATAR haha- I just saw it now lol

Does anyone know about Ruse?

My two cents: I am very against the 5 bonus points for AAA scholarship because the difference between a 94.7 and a 99.7 ATAR for law is absolutely ridiculously. I agree with elite athlete/performers points but not for year 11 (like for me personally- I qualified for sport stuff in year 11 and...

Yeah fuark- I've heard about this guy- some sex god :p

Hahaha I did the same thing as you for english-> 92 exam, 96 school = 94 HSC mark. I was soo happy with that though and my results in general :)

and state ranked the three sciences...

One of my friends got 89 and a BOSer I know got 88 so very well done to both of them

Nah its not anymore.

The exams weren't that easy imo- I personally thought they were a bit weird.

Yeah not going to happen haha

As in the full list of state rankers that'll be released tomorrow

Actually state ranks can influence ATAR's quite a but because the scaling algorithm isn't linear-> i.e. a 98 in chem is a big jump in terms of scaled marks from 97.
