10/15 for english short response. Surprisingly good considering the average was 6. The english teachers are starting to worry.

http://www.uac.edu.au/documents/atar/2011_HSC_Table%20A3.pdf Their scaling is fairly similar, especially at the high end, but they aren't the same. That being said, when you convert that scaled mark to an ATAR you'd end up with more or less the same number.

50/55 for legal which I'm very pleased with. I felt I was really underprepared for both topics, but especially family. Ended up getting 12/15 for crime MC, 14/15 for crime long response and 24/25 for family. Not sure about my rank, but I'd guess it'd be fairly good because nobody full marks for...

Our year advisor showed up on the morning assembly to say that she'd left the school and was teaching at penrith as of today. I'd heard rumours over the holidays, but it was still a pretty shitty start to the term. Got legal marks back first period and I did a lot better than i was expecting...

Ahh yeah, my cousin lives in the mountains, went to a private school there and (i'm pretty sure) got EAS, a scholarship and a centrelink benefit. In the grand scheme of things it's not much, but it certainly makes a big difference, especially if you're not from an afluent family. Also, I don't...

It's high, but they're both huge, $10k each iirc. I know there's lots of scholarships for primary education (especially if you're male), but I'm not sure about secondary. There's others, but a majority are for the so called "disadvantaged students" - people in rural areas, indigenous people...

I agree with this entirely. I don't see the point of doing past papers not under exam conditions, because that's basically the same as working through a bunch of questions from a textbook (although I do realise that sometimes exam questions can be in a different style to textbook questions)...

I haven't even done that.

Use the triangle inequality.

Lots of the time wolframalpha uses some ridiculously long method that utilises stuff that's way beyond the HSC course. But I agree in that people should check their answer their first and then post here.

Somewhere between 7 and 7.30 depending on how many times i hit snooze on my alarm. Vary rarely I'll have a morning class, which means I wake up at 6.30-7

Just out of curiosity, where are the practice questions the BOS have provided? I haven't been able to find them.

Yep, BUT. It's important to remember that they're only an estimate. However, they're estimated from the raw marks of numerous people over the past 5 or so years, so they're reasonably accurate.

Either dead or pursuing a Phd.

Astronaut. Preferably first man on mars. Either that or a physicist who actually makes a decent living.

Just rat on the bastards. I realise it's easy to say that, but there's not much else you can do in that situation. Also, I'd tell the principal/deputy that your teacher's leaving the room during exams, because I'm pretty sure they're not meant to.

Most subjects have around the same cutoff, according to the raw marks database posted somewhere on these forums, the approximate cutoffs are: English (Advanced) 77/100 Chemistry 72/100 Physics 76/100 Mathematics 94/120 = 78/100 Mathematics Extension 1 57/84 = 69/100 Mathematics Extension 2...

That's like saying "As long as you don't have any child porn on your computer you shouldn't have a problem with the police constantly monitoring your computer" or "If you're not doing anything illegal you shouldn't have a problem with the government installing cameras in every room of your...

Re: Just turned 18 with no work experience. Any tips on finding jobs and what type??? My pot-head friend got a job at woolies with no prior work experience and minimal extracurricular. I'm sure you'll be able to. That's also an option, I hear the pay's really good.

Hardly.
