Wow that was pretty much my approach to the HSC, damn I thought I was original :( Though I only finished my notes and essays in July, cos I'm a lazy ass. You shouldn't focus on those topics just because I said that I found them hard; I was pretty shit at English, so I spent more than half my...

There's little point intensively going through past papers more than three weeks out from the exams, because the primary reasons to do past papers are to work out what you don't know, and to get into the exam mindset just before exams. And you shouldn't do every single question in cambridge and...

You could always go to Univeristy of Melbourne, their cut-off for guaranteed entry is only 99.90 ;) => I'm annoyed I only found that out after I did UAC, because apparently it comes with a 20k scholarship for the undergraduate part of the degree, though that might be a lie...

yeh i was in the '05 year, but i left at the end of year 4. i've come onto bos so i can sell my hsc stuff hahaha soo many memories of wahroonga public. and you go to pacific hills??? hills district represent (I went to baulko :D)

^YESSSS wahroonga public school is the best primary school in the area. i went to both wahroonga public and a private school, and i can tell you that wahroonga is not only ranked higher than most of the other private schools, but has a much better location too and is much more friendly. more...

ahhkkk i thought you were trying to improve your story. dw i'm sure it'll all go well, good luck :D

lol i bet your school is filled with dumb azns who mistook the name :D. nahhh if you want past papers i think you should as sacredoblivion, apparently he is very willing to give them away.

yehhh but this guy was coming first at ruse at phys, and apparently gives away ruse papers FOR FREE!!!! ladies one at a time please enough clementc for everyone :D

why the fuck is everyone critiquing this??? the exam was earlier this week. srsly gtl mate and get over it

clementc??? is this who i think it is??? i don't think you need to give olympiad answers to these noobs

yeh it's probably too late to apply to any selective as they all would have offered places last term. then again, i entered baulko halfway through the year (i had applied the year before) and it was a good move hsc-wise, so you should at least try. good luck :D

jeez why don't they tell us all this??? o.O kk i think i'm gonna have to start massively studying for english advanced now. i guess i just underestimated how hard they marked in hsc, especially after hearing about a girl who could speak english that got 98 for advanced...

i'm just hoping for a 96 external mark, and my tutor always makes out that our school marks harder than hsc. i figured the area of study paper would be marked easier, since we'd be compared to all the standard kids. but yeh i agree some of the assessments were marked pretty easy, i need to do so...

jeez that makes me rethink... ohk subtract 5 marks from everything i said above

yeh i guess that's true, i'm keeping that in mind. it's just that we were marked by external hsc markers for our trial, i was just going off that (trying to aim high :D)

haha of course you're the first to reply :D by top marks i meant the top half of our grade (i.e. those who'll get band 6)

hey guys, i was wondering what my chances are for getting a mid 90s hsc mark for english advanced. i go to baulko, and my overall rank is 47/195 (86% mark overall), but my trial mark was 93.5/105. i lost a lot of marks on my mod b essay (15/20), but i'm improving that atm so going off my trial...

i thought descartes made everyone go on bos...

haha i've had a bos account for ages, just haven't gone on in a while => i was curious to see how my atar estimate had gone, but i couldn't find it :S

the bottom of our grade shouldn't affect you too much, cos when they moderate the marks it isn't just your rank that determines the internal mark, but the differences in marks i think. from what i heard the top 80 or so were only separated by 8 marks... i'm not sure how true that is, but i think...
