It's hard to walk through it with an example because you need an entire cohort's marks to illustrate it properly, otherwise I'll just be pulling numbers out of nowhere that will be inaccurate. 0) Starting points - You raw exam mark (e.g. raw 80 in English Advanced) - Your raw internal...

If some lower level employee/manager messes up within NESA it’s got nothing to do with which political party happens to be in power lol

Bump!

Thanks to those who have indicated their interest so far. I have created a group chat for the event to organise specific details like time and place. Apologies if I have forgotten anyone (please let me know). If you are serious about coming on either of 7th of 8th of December, please let me...

Hi all, Now that the HSC exams are over for the year, just wanted to see if there is any interest in having an in-person meet up event (in Sydney area). For background, this was something that used to happen regularly many years ago (pre-covid) on BoS, which helped build a sense of community...

If an employer actually cares that much about what uni you went to 15 years ago, then they’re probably pretty terrible at picking the right candidate. That is like ancient history by then. Once you’re in the workplace for several years, only one thing really matters when you apply for jobs -...

Tbh if the race is as close as people say it is, there won’t be anything interesting to note until tomorrow. Early results are not that meaningful given every state counts votes in their own way/order and are population/timezone dependent etc. It’s not like our federal elections where it’s...

How should the same idea/result be asked differently so that it doesn’t constitute a copyright breach according to you then? The fundamental premise of a copyright breach is that there is some sort of inherent “originality” or “creativity” with the expression in the first place. There is none...

I think calling that a "breach" of copyright is a bit overblown. For starters it's very obviously expressed in quite a different way to that textbook question. If you call that a copyright "breach" then that's like saying every generic differentiation or integration question is also a "breach"...

See https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/labour/earnings-and-working-conditions/employee-earnings-and-hours-australia/may-2023#key-statistics Median weekly earnings were $1,300.00 for all employees That's because everyone lives in their own bubble, so naturally everyone has a skewed perspective...

From recent data, the median annual salary in Australia is about $65k whereas the average annual salary is about $98k (so obviously skewed by outlier high income earners). This is all before income tax and across all age groups (i.e. including experienced workers). For reference, for a typical...

The last question Q14d is similar to Q11b of the 2020 BoS Trials (but the converse) :)

... and finally here are the marking guidelines and results for Business Studies! :sun: Congrats to the top student who scored 85, followed very closely by 83 in second place! Once again to remind everyone: Thank you to the students who participated in the Business Studies trial exam this...

🔥 ... and now here are the solutions and marks for the Mathematics Extension 1 BoS trials! Similar to Mathematics Extension 2, please note that the question paper has been updated (which the solutions are aligned to) with some minor adjustments to a few questions. The updated file is attached...

In theory yes, but that misses the whole point of combinatorial arguments.

It was in 2020 HSC

Actually, 81 is the highest mark a candidate has ever achieved in the BoS trials for Maths Ext2. The previous record was 80 achieved five years ago in 2019. Will reserve saying anything for Ext1 until those marks are finalised.
