    Functional Equation

    There was a BOS Beach Meet yesterday. Shadowdude seems to have been informed that you were there.

    Are all the maths, chemistry and biology in uni similar to the hsc?

    It's actually the other way round – most of HSC Science is irrelevant for Uni science. Only HSC maths would be useful as a foundation for uni maths.

    What the heck happened?!

    No, they don't compensate for underperformance in externals if you do poorly in them. This is why the external HSC Exams are so important. Maybe your school exams were a lot easier than the HSC Exams (which could be a possible reason why you got much lower marks in the HSC Exams than in your...

    What the heck happened?!

    You should be able to search up your school's HSC 2015 rank here: http://smh.com.au/national/education/hsc-results-2015-find-out-how-your-school-ranked-20151216-glosos.html

    What the heck happened?!

    Yeah the actual internal raw scores you had are essentially irrelevant.

    Guaranteed Medicine at UQ

    Yeah, but it's not too difficult assuming you don't just completely bludge. It's equivalent to a Credit average as a table on this Wikipedia page shows: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academic_grading_in_Australia

    Yet another question about mark moderation! re: top of bad cohort

    No, if you're top of both internal and external, then the others in your cohort don't affect your score at all.

    IPT is not a VET course. You can see the list of VET courses that were approved for the 2015 HSC here (click on letter I to see IPT is not there): http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/voc_ed/board-endorsed-course-descriptions-2015.html

    Ipt single result

    Your assessment mark changes because what you get in the end for assessment Mark is somethings called a Moderated Assessment Mark. It depends on your position in your school's cohort for that subject (IPT) internally and how well your school's cohort did in the external HSC Exam for IPT. If your...

    Mathematical induction for division, odd numbers

    $Here's how to do the induction step.$ $Inductive hypothesis: $3^k + 7^k = 10M$ for some integer $M$, where $k$ is some fixed odd positive integer.$ $Now,$ $$\begin{align*}3^{k+2}+7^{k+2} &= 9 \times 3^k + 49 \times 7^k \quad (\text{using index laws}) \\ &= 9\times 3^k + 49 \times \left(10M...

    UNSW Phone Call

    Maybe they phoned everyone/lots of people with ATAR's around your ATAR score.

    All Rounders List

    No, just in ten units I think, so if you did more than ten units, it's possible to get in even with less than B6 in a subject.

    Haha thanks!

    Haha thanks!

    No offers despite getting guaranteed cut-off atar?

    Rep power and the rep bars are actually unrelated. The rep power just depends on how many posts you've made on BOS and how many years you've been on BOS. I think after 1 year on BOS, every year after then adds 1 to your rep power. The green bars are based on how many rep points you have due to...

    99.60 atar | 100 3u maths | 98 4u maths | 95 phys | 95 chem tutor

    (Wrong place to post here by the way.) $\noindent Band 6 in all subjects doesn't guarantee 99+ ATAR. It depends on how your subjects scale. So for example, a mark of 93 in one subject may be better for your ATAR than the same mark in a different, lower-scaling subject. You were very close to 99...

    Guaranteed Medicine at UQ

    $\noindent You have met the 99+ ATAR requirement. In terms of UMAT mark, I'm not sure for this year (2016 intake), but you can check out recent years' UMAT cut-offs in the table on this page to see the general trend:$...

    Most accurate atar calculator?

    Yeah school rankings are irrelevant now as we have the actual HSC Marks.

    2016ers Chit-Chat Thread

    Real economics is extremely mathematical; in fact, there are mathematicians who have contributed a lot to the field of economics (e.g. John Nash with Game Theory etc.). And subbing numbers into a formula is easy.

    Question about correct marks or moderation.

    Depends. Were you rank 1 internally? (If so, moderation is irrelevant for you.)
