Ooh, just read your signature: congrats on getting into artexpress! What gallery are you going to be at?

English SC: 95 HSC: 95 Science SC: 97 HSC Bio: 93 HSC Chem: 87 ... And they're the only subjects I can compare, because I didn't do maths/history/geography. Pretty spot on for English. Depressing drop in science, though it sort of follows the severe drop in my interest level. ;p

Ergh, damn that's a shame that your UAI didn't factor in, I was sort of hoping they would go off a combination of need/Atar. Thanks for letting me know.

Argh I am confused. I doubt you guys will be able to help me, but I thought I'd try. (Also sorry if this thread is in the wrong section? Another mod can move :P ) I've been offered a scholarship for $4000/year for UOW. But I really want to go to USyd and I wasn't offered anything. (Not...

Wow, congratulations Saba! Ah I wish I could have been a part of that "EX2 IS MY BABY!" feeling, but to be honest, it felt to me like a shameful fungal growth that had been allowed to fester and grow for too long! Probably due to the fact that I had to rewrite it so many times and by the end it...

How do you find out? I wouldn't have got in anyway, too much swearing in mine XD Congrats to anyone who is nominated. :)

Yeah there was a 99.95 at my school. ;D So happy for her.

Wow thank you so much for taking the time to write that up for me, I really appreciate it. I think I will definitely want to do post-graduate after my degree, and saving a year's fees definitely appeals to me, but yes I shall have to take all those other things into account! Going straight into...

Yeah I remember clearly that my friends and I all sort of decided to party/relax/not do schoolwork until January 1, then we would buckle down. You've still got a month, which is plenty of time. I don't even think we 'buckled down' in the true sense of the word... But that's when we started...

Yeah definitely write. Having other people's notes can help to look off as a guide, but you really need to do your own if you want to commit the content to memory. : )

I didn't get any email. :)

Definitely definitely definitely do advanced. You're right in what you say up the top. It's so much easier to get a band 6 in advanced . It doesn't matter if you're a maths/science person. Our school (and I assume the highly ranked schools are like this) didn't even offer standard because trust...

And you think you're shit hot by anonymously insulting people on the internet. it is you who should be ashamed. epic fail

Conquering chem for chemistry. I think chem contexts 2 and Jacaranda are equally as good though. I have all of them on my computer, if someone could tell me a site to use to upload them, I'd be happy to.

Okay this discussion is pretty off-topic but I do want to contribute. :P I don't think any subject can really be compared, due to the difference of their nature, and that is WHY scaling exists. There's no point getting mad about it. MX2 has great scaling because it is more difficult to get good...

^ This. I got 99.1 without a tutor. I assume that the only subjects you'd be considering getting tutored in are english and maths because they're the skills based ones and the others are fairly content based... Honestly, if you're needing help with them, I'd just request more help individually...

No I don't think you can defer scholarships for Usyd. Not sure about ANU though. Argh I wish I got a USyd scholarship. T_T Has anyone heard from UTS/UNSW/UOW?

Hey, it's a bit annoying because I'm sure this has been discussed before, I just can't see the threads! I got 99.1 so I'm assuming I can get into the Arts Advanced Honours course, but I was wondering if anyone here had done it and what they thought of it? It probably sounds like a no-brainer...

Wooo, my school scraped into the 30's this year!

I was really happy with ex2! Got marked 46 in school, and I was honestly expecting to get like a 42 in externals, I hated/doubted it so much... No one has even read my final copy! Ended up being marked 49 externally, so I got a 48 overall! YAY!
