GG. Wasn't really planning on going to usyd anyways but oh well. I'm just wondering, how did they make the decision without even looking at my HSC marks? my ATAR estimate was 95 (sufficient enough for a scholarship).

Lol, this didn't work well for me at my school. I had perfect eye contact, looked at basically everyone in the room and constantly changed the tone of my voice. My speech was practically memorised and i glanced at my palm cards probs 2-3 times in the whole entire speech. However, as always...

Ahh yes, I guess that makes sense. My tutor just told me to talk about equipment when it comes down to accuracy though because it's the easiest point to state and it's easier to distinguish between validity.

Validity depends on the method used to perform an experiment, whereas the accuracy depends on the equipment used. So basically, yeah as said above it can affect both. Performing it incorrectly will affect validity, accuracy may also be affected as you might be using incorrect equipment etc etc.

Well it may be true for his school. But for most other schools in NSW, highly unlikely. If you were not warned beforehand then no.

Erm... strange question. 1mol/L electrolyte solutions, 1 atmosphere, 25degC? That's the conditions. I didn't even know you had to measure the mass of the salt bridge lol The main thing they ask about galvanic cells are - the method, diagram, role of the salt bridge, anode/cathode reactions and...

I dropped bio half way through year 12, but this is what I did for chemistry: Print out the syllabus, circle all the 'first hand investigation' dot points. Open up a word document, type up all your practicals (methods, risk assessment/safety issues, accuracy/validity/reliability). Make sure...

Woah, how many tasks are there all together then? And why did they call task 2 'half yearlies' when it's only on week 10/11 of the first term? o__o That system is pretty strange, I don't know any school that carries year 11 marks into year 12. What school do you go to? (or what rank is it around)

Uhh I don't think that's right. I think maybe they meant some of the year 11 content will be examined in year 12, not that your marks will contribute to your year 12 marks.

Yeah it should be something like that, i just assumed that it was out of 100.. my bad.

Ohh yeah, I get what you mean (: so we all get the same scaling/weighting or whatever it's called when they distribute the marks?

Mm well I just tried some numbers (entering them as raw assessment marks) and with the calculations I got, he should be ranked better than you. I'm not sure if this is 'mathematically' correct but this is what i did lol, maybe it'd change for higher numbers... I'm not sure: ------ ASSUME: the...

Hey guys, so I was looking through my assessment ranks on studentsonline and I'm not sure if there's a problem with one of my ranks... At school I came 5th in a subject and on the BOS it says I'm 3rd. However, the person who came 6th (I had a chat to them) also came 3rd on the BOS site. Does...

What do you mean by task 4 - 0? did you get the same mark or did you get 0 for that assessment?

I don't speak aloud, I just whisper to myself.

I find successone extremely helpful and I think basically everyone in my grade had one. As for revision, im not sure about those you mentioned (never used them), but macquarie revision guide for chem is helpful and really straight to the point - good for revision lmao

My school got 1 last year (low 60s ranked school)

This is why you're supposed to repeat the experiment. Tbh, I didn't really read the whole thing you posted, however, it's not very often that you'll achieve the same results as those given in textbooks/whatever. I think every practical we did in school was dodgy. Plus, it could be due to the...

Hey guys, My ranks changed a tiny bit from my report to the BOS ranks o-o, these are the ones on studentsonline, hoping you guys could give me an estimate (: School rank - low 60's 15040 Business Studies - 8 / 97 15050 Chemistry - 3 / 113 15110 Economics - 11 / 42 15140 English...

I was originally thinking of sticking with my 13 units in year 12 so I would be 'safe'. Until I got so sick of having no extra time to do things or have time for rest. I was never bad at biology, I was ranked like 13/105 students or something like that.. but I found it boring AF, I swear.. like...
