    General Thoughts: Music 1

    Yeah I agree, was a really good exam. No surprises and walked out of there feeling pretty confident. I was glad that there wasn't one of those questions where you had to contrast two versions of a piece (I don't mind them, but I find the simple repetition and variety ones better).

    Feel like you've lost motivation? READ THIS!

    Hey guys, Made this thread for the year 12s of 2012 but I thought those that are doing exams now might find it of use. http://community.boredofstudies.org/showthread.php?t=268678 I still have 3 exams left while heaps of people are already finished so it is getting hard to hold the...

    Is Ferg HSC any good? Has anyone tried it?

    Use your teachers bro, (or real life tutors) I find real life contact much more effective than over the interwebz. Just my opinion.

    Entertainment Band 6 Cut off??

    Sorry, I wasn't very clear. What I intended to say was: I know they do not submit the marks per say, but do they still submit the ranks? EDIT: .. I think I just answered my question as I wrote this. Of course they don't submit ranks. It's based entirely on the final exam. Damn, I have just lost...

    Entertainment Band 6 Cut off??

    Also, does our teacher still submit the internal ranks from the midcourse and trials? Because I know that our mark consists of 100% externals.. but the ranks from trials and mids are still used in aligning and mark allocation, etc. ?

    Entertainment Band 6 Cut off??

    It's only a 2 hour exam, but it has 2 extended response sections. I guess the mc and short answer are pretty easy and it's the extended responses that separate the band 6's from everyone else.

    Can I get an ATAR of 97?

    I need 97 for my dream course, but I am aiming for 90. What sought of raw marks would I need with my relatively low scaling subjects to achieve this? Here are my trial marks: English Advanced 72% rank: 7/34 Business Studies 84% rank: 1/9 Software Design and Development 81% rank: 1/7...

    Anyone at their schools have any cheaters caught?

    For Business Studies I was sitting at the very back of the room and someones phone was on vibrate and was going off the entire time. She had it set on a setting that if she has an unread text message then it will continue to vibrate until it is read. The supervisors didn't notice because they...

    Band 6 Cut off for Music 1

    Found this: http://community.boredofstudies.org/showthread.php?t=269573 It has a lot of raw marks and their bands. There's only one music 1 mark they have collected, 89 aligns to a 95 (band 6) I would be stoked with that! Im just curious about the cutoff to align up to a 90.

    Here are the solutions to the paper (marked by my teacher)

    Yeah, they are looking to give you marks, not take them away. If you have shown you know how to use the formula but just didn't put it into you calculator properly then you only lose 1 mark.

    Here are the solutions to the paper (marked by my teacher)

    Re: Reply ;] If you have all the right working out but just the wrong answer, chances are you will only lose 1 mark. This is also the case in carry on errors. I.e. in the questions where the answer to one question is used in another. So if you had still shown all the correct working out in the...

    Two 17 year old's slit the throat of a Pensioner

    What I want to know is why. The news report depicts them as seemingly innocent apart from this incident. i.e. they had no criminal record or anything to do with drugs or alcohol plus they had supportive families. What brought them to do such a thing?

    What did everyone put as there preferences ?

    For Wollongong it must be your most eligible preference. So basically, if I don't get the atars for the other courses then I will automatically get into my early entry course, regardless of if I achieve the courses ATAR (75 for this one). Tbh though, I'm not really keen on uow, mum made me...

    Any rural students on here that have opinion on how they'll go?

    I'm rural, I'm aiming for 97 but realistically I want 90. It can be hard sometimes because many of the kids in the cohort don't really care about the hsc very much. This can pose a difficulty for those who do wish to do well. As it is quite hard to be motivated when others around you are not. I...
