I also started off doing history extension, and ended up dropping it. My class started off with around 20 people and had around 7 by the end of the year. Yeah, i think it is extremely demanding for 1 single unit. It sounds like you've pretty much made up your mind and convinced yourself that...

If you're interested in IB it would probably be more beneficial for your career to begin FS. You could probably request to be put into FS, I'm pretty sure the firm you're referring to is ey (correct me if I'm wrong) in which case, I was kind of in the same situation- I was interviewed for FS...

Yeah but by being 2nd, it means his internal mark will be lower than it should have been if he had remained at first. If you hadn't been ranked equal first, and only placed 2nd (like you said your teacher was considering), then your external mark would have been 96, and your internal mark...

Each unit is a mark out of 50. Divide your hsc mark by 2 to get your unscaled mark out of 50. Then you can match it to the scaled mark it becomes. But to save you the effort, just use an atar calculator. This ones really good http://hscatarcalculator.com.au/

Its not in your best interest to be 2nd, it only benefits the person coming first, especially if you're more likely to under perform.

Haha yeah okay, now you're just being arrogant. So UNSW is in the wrong because your application wasn't good enough to make the cut amongst the thousands of other eligible applicants? Why don't you tone down your overinflated sense of self importance and get a grip, because an attitude like...

I think its just a matter of differentiating yourself as much as possible with extra curriculars + the best academic results And from the looks of all the people who had lots of extracurriculars but still didn't get it, learn to write a good application

This thread is meant to be for a different subject, but the tips for multiple choice are relevant and pretty helpful I reckon http://community.boredofstudies.org/showthread.php?t=228944

Not meaning to be harsh or anything, cos I get why you'd be upset, but isn't that a bit petty? After all, unsw is one of the best unis, and you still have a chance to improve (maybe it came down to how well you expressed yourself) and apply again next year.

Are you interested in physics? You could be a medical physicist, pay is pretty good. You do a straight science degree and then masters, and finish in around 5 years.

In NSW, Radiography: Grad starting salary 50k, eventually goes up to 127k Pharmacy: Grad starting salary 52k, also goes up to 127k

Hahahahaha yeah, it seems like such a dud thing to do. It's like, hey we need to find out if this person is decent, lets talk to their mum! Good luck guys. And just one thing, when i was in the process of applying for cadetships, someone (reputable) told me that some places just run all the...

Wait, in the hsc do you need to colour bubbles or something? Cos at my school we just do crosses on boxes...

Not to shoot you down or anything, but I think some of enoilgam and michaeljennings are a bit inflated, because to be honest, some of your ranks are pretty bad, and no matter how well you go in the hsc external, there are still people at the bottom end of each subject who will get pretty abysmal...

No, the fuss is only really over awbeyona propagating complete bullshit, like 'internal marks don't matter'

Considering that OP goes to a decent school where teachers want the best for their students, none ofthis crap Is in anyway helpful to him. If you want to complain about how unethical your school is, make your own thread, and if youthink youhave legitimate grounds for complaint, take it to the...

Just because your school is fucked doesn't make the system bad.

The school only sends marks to the Bos, and this can't be changed after a certain date. Ie. It wouldn't actually be possible to manipulate the school marks after hsc marks come out. The school has access to hsc marks the same day that students receive them. And half of the stuff being said on...

Page length isn't the best way to measure quantity, because i've seen some people write very very big. But yes, in general, although it may be possible, a 700 word essay is not going to have anywhere near as much scope or depth as a 1200 word one, basically it means other students are providing...

~1250 Did like 1350 once, but that was for an assessment where we were pretty much given the question beforehand.
