    what are ranks

    So you will get ranks for each assessment, and an overall or cumulative rank. So say in your first assessment you come 3/10 in that particular task, then 4/10 in the second, and 1/10 in the third, your overall rank based on all three's results might be say 3/10. The final rank made up of all...

    College Interviews - Dress Code

    I'm a girl so I didn't wear a suit to mine obviously but I would say more casual than a formal suit and tie. For mine at a USYD college I wore black pants (not jeans), slightly heeled ankles boots, a nice top and a blazer, and I got in. Something like you would wear to maybe a sibling's...

    is memorising 1 creative writing enuf??

    Isn't it more skillful and better to integrate it figuratively or metaphorically anyway? I was lucky in that one of the options matched mine perfectly but it was stupid in my opinion

    why do so many people hate hsc english?

    I think a revised version more applicable to daily life should be compulsory, but I don't think it should be compulsory for your ATAR because it needlessly drags down the ATARs of people. Like for example someone who puts lots of work into english, and gets band 6 for every other subject, even...

    is memorising 1 creative writing enuf??

    Our school did CSSA paper and it said to make DIRECT reference to stimulus so if you didn't literally mention something about a fish you got marked down and told to adapt your response more, metaphorical reference wasn't enough even though in my opinion that would be more sophisticated. And it...

    How hard does General Maths get?

    I changed from 3u to general from prelim to HSC as I was bottoming 2u and ext, and ended up coming 2nd overall (girl who came first also did 3u in prelim). The actual content is not difficult but it is easy to become bored and lazy, and as others have mentioned the wordy problems are very easy...

    Belonging Essay Predictions!

    A few people have said the overall focus could be something relating to current situation in Australia, eg refugee/asylum seekers. I don't really know much but I guess it's a possibility, it would fit with belonging

    Different ways in which the prescribed texts for english scale...

    I don't know the exact details of how it works but there is definitely adjustment through aligning to account for differences between texts. I don't think they exactly judge which text is 'harder', but I think the different options are aligned differently so that a similar amount of people would...

    Funding residential college fees

    If you definitely have to pay for it all yourself there's not really much else besides a part time job for money really, if there's another way to get money I'd love to hear about it. Not sure about melbourne colleges but I know many colleges from second or third year you can be an RA...

    North Sydney Girls High School vs. Hornsby Girls High School

    I don't know much about either school but I moved schools for Yr 11 and travelled an hour each way and it got very tiring and I absolutely hated it. It really starts to wear on you, I personally found

    area of study

    Not really, if taught properly it should theoretically be no easier or harder for any year. And even if it was harder for the first timers it doesn't matter how you do in comparison to the year before or after, only how you do in comparison to your own cohort, even if one years exam was really...

    Are HSC exams anything like their same year TRIAL exams?

    The schools or organisations such as CSSA or Independent have nothing to do with the people that write the HSC papers, so it's not like the hsc writers will be like ooh better not specific the poem x in hsc 2013 because it was specified in the CSSA trial, it could easily specify the same...

    University of sydney merit, entry and faculty scholarships

    We don't get our after trial overall ranks till end of exams though, or most schools don't at least I'm pretty sure, so I don't know what else rank it would be. Also does anyone know what to name the files of your report and reference and things when you attach them in the email? like what to...

    Am i able to use my prescribed text for mod C for my related text for belonging?

    Definitely wouldn't advise it, my school told us board of studies didnt allow it but they may have just said that to scare us from doing it
