I did past papers, summarised my notes, re-read my English texts and notes. I have a problem in exams where I psych myself out and my teachers know that. I am nervous because my school has a reputation of going really well in the HSC, my family sacrifices a lot for me to go to my school and I...

IMO it's acceptable for the teacher to call you out if you've made a significant improvement or if you topped, but when you're likely to be a bit pissed off about it, and not to mention not even there to defend yourself, that is crossing the line. Talk to your year coordinator/subject coordinator.

Re: Did you choose the High School you now attend or did your Parents force it on you Please don't mention THAT name.

Re: Did you choose the High School you now attend or did your Parents force it on you I had to choose between Loreto, Monte, NSGHS and Newtown Performing Arts. I got into both of the latter 2 (I got into Newtown for singing) but my parents didn't want me to go because I got bullied heaps in PS...

You do realise this thread is from 2007, right?

280 isn't poorly ranked; there are probably thousands of schools sitting the HSC. Anything in the top 400 of the state is still good. But all schools have different markers and different markers means different points of view, and different ideas as to the difference between and A and B range...

Our school has the largest Maths Extension 2, Italian Extension and English Extension 2 classes in 10 years. However we don't have a French Extension class whereas there were 2 people doing it last year. There are 6 in our Italian Extension class; we're all in the top 7 of our continuers class.

Belonging - pretty inconsistent, not sharing the marks. Modules: A (Pride and Prejudice/Letters to Alice) - 20/20 B (Hamlet) - 14/20 C (Wag the Dog) - 12/20 (I had no idea what I was doing)

Yours was probably independent then, because I did CSSA and the last question was unity and contrast in a remix of the jazz song "I Got Rhythm" by George Gershwin.

Look at your school rank and your assessment ranks and tell me you're going to get the required ATAR for law.

I meant that sometimes marking is a bit more lenient than in higher-ranked schools. And actually I don't go to a selective school, but my school is ranked 20th in the state.

Haven't got all my marks back yet, but the ones I have got back are terrible. The only subjects I did well in were Italian Continuers and Italian Extension, and I think my Bio and Music ranks may have dropped.

I agree. But (without sounding arrogant) most people's schools here aren't in top 100.

That would be a band 6.

You probably won't even get 90.

The only one I got back was Italian Continuers speaking and I got 18/20

Classical Greek Extension scales higher than 4U Maths.

Re: Why does english standard and advance scale the same according to ATAR calculator Yeah, at our school there are so many delusional people who think they are good at English and so do Advanced. One girl who can't spell wants to be a journalist and therefore picked Advanced hahaha

Aren't you the same person who thinks they're going to move from like bottom of the year to top 3 in bio? DELUSIONAL MUCH!!! And I'm doing combined Science/Arts. With Science I'm going to major in psychology, and Arts I'm going to major in either Italian studies or linguistics.

Italian Continuers because ILTA is eeeeeevil.
