    It's true Nth rank gets the Nth exam mark, provided...

    ...which is exactly what "subject to a condition" means. What is objectively true is that the nth rank does not receive the nth mark. That is undeniably a fact. What has been long acknowledged is that most schools are not sufficiently large, and the distribution of raw marks and exam marks...

    It's true Nth rank gets the Nth exam mark, provided...

    You can't postulate a statement saying "nth rank = nth mark", then add conditions to it and still claim that your initial statement is still true. http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/hsc-results/images/moderating-example-table.gif Yes it's a redistribution. That's well established since the...

    It's true Nth rank gets the Nth exam mark, provided...

    No, this is pointlessly misleading. It doesn't matter how close the mark will end up being - the answer is unconditionally no. There is an entire process that has been long established as the fairest system for determining the assessment mark. Dumbing it down to nth rank gets nth mark subject to...

    Maths department hates 2U students?

    2U is a course that can mostly be self-taught with the right resources. Do you have good textbooks? Do you have access to past papers, not just from your school but from others as well?

    Questions Regarding My Subjects, Scaling and ATAR - From a beginner

    1.1. Historically, fairly ordinary all round; economics would probably scale the best out of those. Note, scaling is carried out afresh each year. 1.2. Inherently, it would scale better since the Continuers cohort would be stronger than the Beginners cohort. Scaling is dependent on the strength...

    Are Uni Cruises worth it?

    Go once, invest in experiences. If you don't like it, now you know. If you like it, go again.

    ATAR estimate

    BOESTES (NESA) doesn't calculate your ATAR. That's determined by UAC. UAC uses your raw assessment mark and raw exam mark to calculate your ATAR. When people provide their ranks, the link between that and the ATAR is that you could estimate your final HSC mark from your rank if your school...

    Second semester transfer questions

    You are competing for a spot (via UAC). If there are n positions available, and your ATAR is in the top n, then you will get an offer. No Similarity, but even if they are identical, they can still tell you to redo those courses. It's up to USYD.

    what other forums besides bos do you use

    Both serve different purposes. I use both so whichever is better doesn't concern me.

    what other forums besides bos do you use

    Yet there are thousands of posts about people getting jobs... The forum is more than just about jobs though.

    How do I get an official transcript or an certified transcript?

    Doubt you would need an official transcript. A copy of whatever you normally use to view your marks is sufficient.

    Post Your 2017 University Offers Here

    Yeah the scholarship is definitely more competitive for international students because you're ranked against everyone outside of UNSW (which includes applicants who did their undergraduate study from other Australian universities). I can't say for certain, but I think having a supervisor with...

    Subject Selection Review

    Yes, 97+ is certainly possible. You will need to be at the top, especially if you want to do medicine. You shouldn't aim for anything less.

    Post Your 2017 University Offers Here

    Almost, but the post-PhD opportunities were quite slim in engineering so I rescinded my application (had a supervisor and the scholarship was easy to obtain in engineering - less competitive). Good luck.

    Study Material for Maths2019 (Engineering Mathematics 2E) ?

    It's a fairly easy course, that's all you really need tbh. Here's a link from when I did the course, not sure if anything has changed: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B29Lm2UM3hSac1M2VEZZbW5Lams?usp=sharing

    General Education

    Look at your handbook. It's for degrees (single or convinced) with no education outside of their faculty.

    Engineering 2005 multichoice URGENT help

    No. sigma = My/I where sigma is bending stress, M is bending moment, y is centroidal distance, and I is second moment of area. The moment, M, is about the centre, so M = Fd = F(2000). y is about the centroid of the cross section = 50mm, and sigma is given as 42MPa or 42 N/mm^2. Sub those...

    Suspended from university. Is there any chance they will reduce it to just 1 semester

    Re: Suspended from university. Is there any chance they will reduce it to just 1 seme Hospital might be a valid reason, if you were incapacitated for 4 weeks. The others are not valid reasons.
