Can confirm. The state rank results/nesa related results will be received on the same day (14th) as the HSC marks, whereas the ATAR's will be released on the following day :)

I can't speak for USYD, but going to UNSW I might also be able to help shed some light. Yes, I think to an extent you are going to get a lot of Asian students grouping together, particularly if they are international students. However, this does not represent the majority population, nor is it...

Hey! Umm, after a year of being in law, obviously I am no expert, but I wouldn't say that it has been too bad. Of course you are going to get all sorts of people in your classes, and a lot of them do come from that competitive background, but overall I think it has been pretty good. There isn't...

Agreed... Managed to get a Distinction for Torts but ooh was that harsh...

Congrats on your results, hopefully you get in :) When I did it, ATAR: 94.45 (Though through AAA I was admitted with 97.45) and LAT was in the 97th percentile (89/100)

Post your thoughts here! Keen to hear how everyone did and what the questions were!

Exactly this. I am pretty sure that there is nothing in the marking guidelines that would be like "deduct marks for no conclusion" but typically a marker would look at an essay without one as unfinished, thus they would probably in their head reduce the mark. I don't think you need discussion in...

Sorry to say, but yeah. Proper essay structure will require a conclusion. If someone doesn't lose marks for it internally then that is likely to be a result of the school's own discretionary powers. But yeah, in general you would need a conclusion. Of course, if the essay is still really solid...

Keen to hear what the questions were...

Good luck everyone, hope the exam is going well! Keen to hear about it when you guys are done :)

I don't do Int Studies, but yeah, I'm pretty sure this only applies if you are trying to transfer in, but you would have your exchange around the times when you would have started your law course. I think that if you start with that combination, it doesn't matter because you will just follow the...

Re: UNSW chit chat thread 2017 Same :(

So sorry for the late response. I suppose that you could base some of the argument off of grammatical or syntactic structure, though it may not be necessary. I suppose that you will primarily be using surface knowledge.

I pretty much structured mine as I would a standard essay, so somewhere between a Legal Studies Response and an English response. I don't think it matters too much though, but yeah basically - Thesis, Intro, Body paragraph for each point/argument, Conclusion. I would say that it was a...

Personally, I don't think it is necessary to put a great deal of time into preparation, however, it won't hurt you either. So I agree, it isn't a time waster as it is still productive. Basically, I feel people should just do whatever amount of preparation they feel comfortable with doing...

Hey! So yeah, I did the LAT last year and I did pretty well in it so I thought that I would pitch in. I don't think that you need to put an extensive amount of practice and preparation into LAT, after all, it is a test that is essentially testing your ability to logically construct an opinion...

Re: UNSW chit chat thread 2017 Yes

Re: UNSW chit chat thread 2017 Yeah I have a 9am on Wednesday, which appears to be the worst time (9am). We were mainly stuck before High street, there was a lot of traffic and even then, High Street had at least 7 891's on it at the one time, so unless you are getting off at Gate 9 (which I...

Re: UNSW chit chat thread 2017 Luckily I was trying to get there for 10 and I made it just in time, my friend was trying to get there for 9 though but got there at 9:30

Re: UNSW chit chat thread 2017 That sucks!!! What time bus did you get? I need to figure out what time I need to go in the morning now :/
