    Will the school's average affect this?

    Say someone coming 1st internally at school A (ranked 1st) And someone coming 1st internally at school A (ranked 250th) They both get the same raw mark in externals lets say 96. and 96 was the highest mark. Who would get a state rank?

    How hard do English HSC markers mark?

    Just curious as to whether anyone here would know, from previous HSC results or if you've been a previous HSC marker yourself. I always thought my school mark very "critically", because cramming 3 essays into a 2 hour time slot ain't gona bring out the best essays tbh. How lenient are they?

    One of the most bullshit I.T questions ever?

    you don't have to register software to receive updates/patches. That's provided by default on MOST if not ALL software applications today. and software upgrades, no because you usually have to buy a new version e.g. Norton 2011. should be B, most correct.

    What does show not tell mean for creative writing?

    Is it just using more descriptive words instead of directly telling the audience what is happening? E.g. Telling: John walked to his car. Showing: John steadily approached his vintage car. Is it right? thanks.

    What to do in those first 10 minutes reading time.

    I usually just flick through the paper quickly, and then focus on preparing my essay with the question in my head. After I have a sound understanding I then go to read around 2-3 unseen text. What do you do?

    So where are those HSC exam papers stored?

    ahaha just curious really, where do they store all these papers, if there's an excess of 80 000 students and around 50+ subjects, that a lot of dam paper to be kept tight and secure. How do they do it? And not let one kid see the paper. I'm sure people would have tried to roll the truck...

    How come no grid paper for Mathematics HSC exams?

    Why is there no grid paper for HSC Mathematics examinations? Right throughout my 13 years of schooling teachers have always said use an A4 'grid' book. But you get to the HSC and it's just a page with dotted lines. -.- How is that even helpful for graphing solutions in appropriate scales?

    How good is the Italian department at UTS?

    I was considering do a combined international degree, but I don't have much experience in other languages and I keep thinking two degrees will be too much. Also the expense of living overseas throws me off. I do not have a job yet. Also how will an international degree help my degree in I.T...

    Does UAC only look at our external performence?

    I've heard UAC does this. Meaning they only use the 50% of our mark, which they take from our final HSC exams (because everyone does the same exam, so it's fair). But this sounds incorrect. Don't they get our overall HSC mark and then scale it out of 50 for a 2 unit subject? Not sure what...
