    Entertainment Band 6 Cut off??

    Just letting other lurkers know about this years results: My friends entertainment teacher told her that only 2% of all entertainment students scored a band 6 in 2011. That's close to the percentage of band 6's in standard eng (and you hear how hard it is to get one in standard english) Pretty...

    High atar achievers, a question for you guys.

    Yes, i fudged up big time in English on the 1st assessment task. Got 12/20 when most people were 15+ put me at a rank of 33/40 and spent the rest of the year working my ass off to climb back up. Managed to get back up to 12th. I guess if you start working hard earlier on you gain an advantage...

    How to calm down before tests?

    Know the syllabus and content areas that will be tested. Also, I found that if the teachers saw that I was really trying hard to get good marks they were more willing to help me out alot more. For instance, I became really good mates with my Software teacher and he ended up giving those willing...

    Stressing about my atar!

    Mates, There's no point freaking out. HSC is over, it's done, it's gone, and there's nothing anyone can do about it. All you can do is work with what you do have. There's usually other pathways into your desired course.

    quick atar estimate

    General math is going to pull you down so much man, I think you got 78 but don't know about the 90 prediction. Those subjects don't scale very well buddy.

    And the Fish appears in EVERY SINGLE SDD PAPER

    Haha Yeah. And I think in two years there was something to do with FishFingers. I remember that at least one was an insertion sort. Well, we have an all boys class (7 kids), and doing past papers on the smart board, we came to a question that was like "Here is Sarah's algorithm, What may prevent...

    All MY Software Design and Development Summary Notes

    Hey Guys, Just posting up all my notes for the subject. Don't expect anything super duper quality, I finished them a few days before the exam and haven't gone through to error check any typos and such. Hopefully you find them of use though. I did the option topic "Software Developer's view on...

    General Thoughts: SDD

    I managed to do both well with 2 free line spaces unused underneath? What algorithm did you write? Also, I did read the data flow diagram question too quickly and drew a system flowchart instead... took like 10 minutes till I realised what I'd done... probably because it was a massive system to...

    And the Fish appears in EVERY SINGLE SDD PAPER

    So. Basically, for some reason the Software Design and Development exam writers have an obsession with putting something about fish and/or fingers into the SDD exams. This year they tried to subtly get away with it by using the Software Development company "Salmon Software Enterprises", "PHYSH"...

    Do you believe in true love? (srs)

    Mate, you don't tell someone you love them by staring at them... You have to go and talk to them. Do you have her on fb? If not then add her, fb message her with some cheesy song lyrics and tell her she is your world. What do you have to lose? You say you have moved on, but wouldn't you like to...

    Do you believe in true love? (srs)

    Do you believe in true love? As in, an undeniable, unconditional and infallible love for another person? Do you define true love as something else? Do you believe that hollywood movies and 90's indie pop songs provide an unrealistic preconception of the idyllic relationship with someone of the...

    How to achieve a band 6 in business studies, prelim and hsc.

    Like everyone said, LEARN THE SYLLABUS. But a massive thing is Terminology. Learn what all of the businessy words mean. When I started the course I found it hard to keep up because I did not know the definition of the words so when listening in class or reading the textbook it was difficult to...

    What If I Just Miss The Cut-off For My Desired Course By 2 Marks?

    Yeah I can get 2 if I get a band 5 or 6 in Adv English (which is likely). Is that the only way? Also, I couldn't find anything in regards to rural applicants, do you know if they do any sort of bonus point scheme for rural students (like Macquarie)?

    Hey Forum, (I'm sorry if this is in the wrong area, mod can you please move if you see) So I put the marks I estimated I would receive going off how well I feel I have gone in my exams and it is below the cutoff for the course I want to get into by about 2 ATAR points. Is there a chance I...
