You'll be fine, even with maths doing not so well still means your going to get a band 6 your rank will pull you up, as it will for chemistry. I on the other hand have been gunning it for society, hoping for a state rank or 99 in the exam. Chemistry, my jar of give of a fuck is completely empty...

if your cohort is strong this year, then it can help because you all will do well together. A higher amount of good marks means that there is a greater pool of marks to choose from. This is good for both you and your cohort. I on the other hand go to a school that does not do so well in society...

To drop or not to drop that is the question?

Its hard to make a definite distinction but I'm pretty sure that if you crack a 55/60 in the exam and a 32-33/40 in the PIP you can hit a band 6. Society is probably of the only subjects that gets scaled down because of the lack of the strength of the cohort. Usually you will find that the...

Yes we go to the same school. I've spent a lot of time thinking about it, and wouldn't it just be better to concentrate on absolutely acing a subject that I know is easy and I can do well in than risking the majority of my time in attempting to save something that is dead/dying already. Like I...

I've already tried it and even if I got a 90 which is the maximum that I believe that I can achieve for chem, with hard out studying, it still won't count because I do maths extension + adv and all those English and modern. So unless I get a band 6 there is no way that chem will count in any...

Ahh, but you underestimate my enormous powers of procrastination. I just don't think that I will be able to consume all of the chemistry syllabus plus prepare enough for society to get my 98 which is what I am planning on getting :( I hate the HSC it just wants to screw me over one last time...

Hi guys, Just looking for your advice on whether I should go hard out for both my subjects on Tuesday - Chem and society or try and study more for the one that I think I could definately do well in. Our school hasn't had a great history with the sciences, last year no one got a band 6 in any...

yes.

Hopefully you will be okay, as will we all. Get your bullshit muscles ready guys My creative is actually perfect I'm pretty proud of it, anyone ever attempted to write in austenian prose - that shit is hard! Also is anyone willing to read my creative, it would make me the happiest human in...

You and I are in the same boat I had modern today too :(, mega cramming for english today. Romanticism wbu?

International peace and conflict considering it was the last topic we did and we basically rushed through it...so hopefully if I can survive Indochina, I can get through the rest of the exam.

Peacemaking is very limited but I guess you would talk about the Geneva Accords, attempts at triangulation, Detente, the process of Vietnamisation.... I really don't think that it will be this question, they cannot make it too narrow or no one will be able to address the question. I have...

But aren't you the optimist? Don't worry, it will be okay, one of the best things about modern history is that you can bs your way through it when you get stuck. I'm pretty excited.

I am feeling either a question on the power struggle or foreign policy. I think this would be a great combo because everyone typically studies Stalinism and the Bolshevik consolidation of power and many people often neglect foreign policy because its the last topic and the power struggle because...

Will the differences between my rank and the one below me make a huge difference, because I am the outlier in my cohort, the mark below me was an 85. So if my cohort does not perform as well as I do, does it bring me down at all? Again I'm still not very sure about the scaling aspect.

I am just going off what I have been told by my teacher and the other markers that I've spoken to. I'm aiming high and don't really need to worry too much about the cut off, plus I haven't had too much experience with logistical aspect of marking. With this said, I have always been told by my...

Thanks :D Hopefully, we'll just see when I do the paper then.

Last I checked it was 111 and the highest mark for modern we've every received was a 95.

Actually it is, my teachers uncle is the one of the supervisors of marking this year and he says that it changes and fluctuates depending on the difficulty of the exam and the questions. So one year a 85 may not be a band six whereas other years it will. There is no set cutoff, so you'll just...
