    i've lost track of the number of times i've heard ppl say "i'll work harder" and they ended up not getting into their university course when you say you'll work HARDER work SMARTER

    Skipping year 11 bio and starting year 12

    what an epic teacher all i remember my teachers saying is, "the preliminary is the key holder to success in the hsc. A low performance in the preliminaries means a low grade in the HSC. Maintaining good study habits during this time or you'll end up with a disappointing ATAR" PFfffft ...

    HSCers! What were YOU actually doing during Prelims?

    i'd say only maths is important in the preliminary because they'd always pop up in the HSC and maybe basic formulaes in the sciences

    a question on hsc results

    your hsc assessment mark is not your report mark, ignore them and focus on your ranks why uq med?? you'll be looking at a UMAT score of around 180 combined or 91st percentile (at the rate in which UMAT cut offs are rising)

    (motivation required) Half Yearly situation

    you said you didn't do as well in your accelerated subjects because of laziness you say you didn't do much past papers for maths (which shows poor time managemen if not laziness) why convince us you'll work harder?

    impossible to come first frome here?

    anythings possible with 16 people within a tight 5 mark range - and remember they round of marks to the nearest number to determine ranks i.e. you might have a final mark of 91.6 (rank 2) and the top guy's got 92.4, you'll both get rank 1

    Increase writing speed

    i think the pen matters a lot as well try to get one that seamlessly glides on the paper (i.e. gel pens)

    Half Yearly Predictions?

    i'm confused since when did half yearly predictions become fast food preferences?
  14. mecramarathon

    purpose of studying for hsc exams?

    not necessarily ... outliers in your school apparently do show in the actual hsc assessment mark e.g. tom gets a raw school mark of 100%, dick gets a raw school mark of 81% and harry gets a raw school mark of 80% in the actual hsc the top three marks are 97, 92, 85 hypothetically...

    Getting a mark for incompleted answer (math)

    it depends, for maxima/minima mark they'll prolly give 1 mark for first differentiation 1 mark for testing it using second differentiation to prove minimum point 1 mark for drawing graph (?) or making a statement, "therefore the minimum point is (X,Y)"

    Joke Answers in HSC

    my funniest would be this general maths question on calculating the amount of medication sally needed for her sore throat. funny kid miscalculated and answered 1,333,333.33 mL and the teacher wrote in big fat red, "DEAD!!!"

    Drawing on exam paper

    you might be sent to the deputy principal for being "mentally instable" lol like my english teacher read this creative writing in the hsc about a serial killer and there were pretty gory macabre descriptions of strangled girls - the BOS contacted the kid but honestly, the worst thing...
