    Plagiarism.

    You can't just 'regurgitate' a creative writing every time.. The point of the creative writing (in fact every question in English) is to ANSWER THE QUESTION......you may have a writing that uses simple language yet get quite a decent mark... I learned that the hard way in my trials... But I...

    Software Design & Development: Scaling

    algorithms/data structures... I simply cannot do those questions where they ask you to CREATE a data structure to solve some problem....or WRITE/FIX an algorithm to make sure some program works properly.... those questions actually require you to understand the question fully before you answer...

    Software Design & Development: Scaling

    @D94 Mate I love SDD... But that doesn't change the fact it's difficult. At first I enjoyed the challenge, but lately, since just before the trials, it's starting to get annoying...and plus the fact it doesn't scale as well just adds salt to the wound! I don't get how UAC thinks Physics is...

    Hands up if you haven't started studying!

    Firstly, I only want 93 ATAR Secondly, my problem isn't writing essay content, or answering question. My problem is WRITING it, finishing it in time.

  14. Mr Hippopotamus

    One week is all you need for 99.95 ATAR!

  15. Mr Hippopotamus

    Software Design & Development: Scaling

    Why doesn't SDD scale as well as other subjects like Physics and Chemistry? It really pisses me off since I reckon SDD is much, MUCH harder than Physics....and maybe even as difficult as Chemistry! I do all three of those subjects...and I find SDD the most difficult subject...

    what are ranks

    Your rank is your position in your class for each subject. This rank is used to determine your Assessment Mark in the HSC (worth 50%). Basically it's a system used to make sure students who work consistently throughout the year are recognised. At the same time, it kind of acts as a fail-safe...
  17. Mr Hippopotamus

    Atttttttttttttttttar estimate please

    I'd say 95.70...but then again I'm just randomly picking a number in the mid-90's. But really, you should ace the HSC... (Unlike my prospects :()

    Oh come on, only one estimate?! Anyone else going to estimate my ATAR? (Please?)
  19. Mr Hippopotamus
