I used that textbook during my high schooling years and I did fine. Wait it out and see if you need another textbook after you've completed part of the course. I've never understood the appeal of buying more than one textbook for a particular subject so I would recommend waiting it out. It's...

I think that in only one of my subjects, I got a top 5 ranking. All others were lower. (Went to a school which ranked around 60) Try aiming for the top quarter of your subjects minimum.

You have a chance of getting an ATAR of 75, but that would most likely be a best case scenario.

I would presume that the average ATAR for your cohort will be lower than last years.

Yes, I believe so.

1) Let's wait until the ATAR comes out before coming to any conclusions. 2) I would be inclined to say if you did not fall within this band, you may not be successful but give the faculty a ring anyway. They may give you some leeway in some circumstances.

As answered in the USYD sub-forum (may be of some interest to others here as well: It all works on a case by case basis. Think of it more like a job application process where you have to also disclose extracurricular activities and anything which may be applicable to the field you are...

It all works on a case by case basis. Think of it more like a job application process where you have to also disclose extracurricular activities and anything which may be applicable to the field you are interested in. The Engineering faculty have a link on their webpage which goes into this...

Seriously. Unless you are having trouble with the content and have found that teachers are not able to explain these concepts to you, only then is tutoring necessary. In all other cases, they are cheating money out of insecure students and parents.

TAFE qualifications are commonly used for entry in university.

Remember that the ATAR is only one pathway into tertiary study. Further studies at other institutions also have a big hand at allowing entry for certain courses. I will never truly understand what you are going through but I can only empathise. You may not go to university straight away but...

http://bettereducation.com.au/SchoolRanking.aspx The ranks for 2011 obviously haven't been put on yet. Feel free to check later.

Well, do you know which textbook the school will provide?

More often than not, the school will allow you to go up automatically provided good results in the School Certificate but if otherwise, then they may ask you to stay in Standard for a term or so to evaluate whether you are good enough to do Advanced. I suggest giving the school a ring today if...

I presume it would be the best 10 rather than English being a requirement. English is only a requirement when calculating the ATAR.

Re: FUCK :( If you have certain plans which you have been hoping to undertake next year, you may have to review your approach if it is dependent on ATAR. As people say, this isn't the be all and end all.

Say there is School X and School Y. School X marks very easily and getting 90%+ in assessments in really easy. School Y marks very hard and getting 80%+ in assessments is an achievement. The end product of the students in School X may be inferior to that of School Y as marking standards are...

Yes you can. The ATAR calculator on this site was 0.05 off my actual ATAR.

It's a massive shame that BoS gives a 4 day window to lodge appeals.
