School rank?

100%.

Sadly, some people think that anything less than 99.8 is bad.

Overall there's about 10 or so people that are ridiculously competitive, ~50 that are reasonably competitive and the rest are pretty chilled (although most care about their marks). At the start of the year MX2 was my most competitive subject but it's not anymore because it seems everyone else...

I work best in silence, but my family are noisy and annoying as fuck so I need something to drown that all out when they're home. White noise works well but I found that if I listened to it for long periods of time and then suddenly stopped my hearing went weird for the rest of the evening so I...

Re: HSC 2012 Marathon :) That's it. Can't believe everyone struggled on that one so much! LOL

Some uni courses have 2U as a prerequisite, whereas I'm pretty sure none require you to have done general - I'd reccomend 2U based solely on that, I don't know about the issue of actual marks though.

FUARK! Congratulations man! How'd you go in maths? Shit man, that sucks. I've had a similar thing but nowhere near as bad, only one question. Our school does the same thing, but I think it's more so that the teachers get a chance to talk the parents out of beating the crap out of their...

Chem last year. Put in no effort and I really regret it because I easily could've got 95+ if I'd applied myself as much as I apply myself to my current subjects.

I don't know if these guys are serious or just playing along with the joke. For their sake, I hope it's the latter.

Christ, we don't get ours till week 6 according to the school calender. However, I've spoken to a few of my teachers and they said they've finished their comments, so it might be earlier, who knows!

You don't know this? Come on dude. It's all a conspiracy!

THIS. All throughout the junior years we get about how the hsc is this horrible experience and you have to study all day every day. It really isn't that bad. It's kind of like in primary school when you get told that high school is so much harder because the teachers don't care about you because...

M8. You're screwed.

I was wondering about that as well.

In reference to the thread title; contrary to popular belief, improving your marks won't help your ATAR. In fact, it'll have quite the opposite effect and ultimately result in a lower ATAR. (srs) On a more serious note, obviously you can improve. Whether or not you put in the effort to do so is...

Yep, that derivative is equal to \frac{2-x} {2x^2 \sqrt{x-1} }
