That’s because that’s the only thing (Distinguished Achiever’s list) that is made publicly available that the media can access. NESA doesn’t publicly release other data points that enable the media to compute mean/median of a cohort. I’m sure the media would prefer more data points to be...

Wow NSB really ramped up their English results, though Ruse getting 60% “success rate” is much lower than normal

Bump! Final call for those who are serious about coming on Sunday 17th December, please send me a PM to communicate your interest. You will then be added to a private group convo where specific details like time and place will be sorted out.

Guys, this convo is off-topic to the thread. Please take it elsewhere.

Bump!

Thanks to those who voted so far. Look like it is a close one between 16th and 17th of December! Now for next steps. For those who are serious about coming on either of those days, please send me a PM to communicate this. I will then create a private group convo where specific details like...

Alignment has nothing to do with difficulty of one subject vs another. It is more to do with whether you meet certain standards/criteria for a certain HSC mark band. This is done so that the marks are comparable between years for the same subject. Don’t confuse alignment with scaling. They are...

Bump. Had put up a poll.

Hi all, With the HSC exams done, just want to see if there is 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 on BoS, which helped build a strong sense of community and even some friendships...

Generally I would avoid this type of structure because it is susceptible to logical flaws and it is not really a well argued “proof” if you start with the statement you are trying to prove in the first place. In fact, some arguments in the converse direction may not actually be true. A classic...

I think what he means is that it is technically problematic/sloppy notation to multiply the vector by i (e.g. it is notationally problematic to say i*PQ) because you’re not actually multiplying the vector itself by a complex number. You’re actually multiplying the complex number representing the...

In b4 NESA starts stalking you...

Yes. The exact mark is stored in the database, but in the HSC report it is displayed as a rounded whole number.

It will "visually" appear as 37/50 on your report. However, the underlying mark is actually 36.5/50 (i.e. it is treated as lower than someone who actually got 37/50).

I see what I sent to nsw.wollongong was shared around. Perhaps worth clarifying to everyone that if you actually read the whole thing properly, I said this was about the non-school forums. Just thought I would clarify this since the above was quoted out of context. The school forums are subject...

Apologies for the delays behind the scenes in getting this out, but finally here are the marks for the Physics BoS trials! Congrats to the two students who tied with the top mark of 59! The marks were very close and bunched up with very small gaps between the bulk of the students. I just want...

... and finally what you all have been waiting for 💥 Here are the marking guidelines and sample answers for Physics! Thank you for your patience. Please also note that the question paper has been updated (which these solutions are aligned to) with some minor adjustments to a few questions...

Yes, we all get the meaning of

Stop derailing the thread guys

You do realise that a lot of 2023ers have already uploded stuff in our Notes and Resources section? https://boredofstudies.org/resources/ Also, current HSC students can also upload their resources there as well.
