You're probably the best person to ask this, even though you don't mark it. My first History Extension booklet have a '2/6' and '1/4' and my second has ' 4/6' and '3/3' on the front cover. Do you know what these mean? They seem to have nothing to do with my marks or the number of pages I wrote.

The optional question scaling is also interesting. E.g. my 21/25 in the Punic wars in Ancient, was scaled up to 23. Yet my 18/25 in industrial Chemistry in Chem, scaled down to 17.2. Alot of people did think it was an easy option this year I guess. Maths Extension 1 has all the marks written...

Chemistry trial mark: 85 Physics Trial mark: 64 Basically swapped around. Looking at the paper now, at my responses, I reckon I was hard done by in Chemistry. But meh, it's over now.

Just got back from a holiday to port macquarie to be greeted with a massive package containing my raw marks, state ranks and exam papers. Some of them were quite depressing. TM = total mark - raw mark TWM = Total weighted mark - raw mark after optional and common question scaling has been...

My package from the Board of Studies came two days ago. However I am unable to disclose the contents as I am on holidays in Sydney/North Coast until the 14th.

Is your maths mark out of 100, or 120?

I ended up cutting mine down from 5000 to 3000 words. Easiest way to cut it down is to narrow your focus/question down to something quite specific.

Teaching, a pathway into academia/postgraduate. Sometimes people prefer to do something they enjoy rather then what leads to the high paying jobs.

The MX1 and Legal studies cut offs can easily be estimated from these numbers. Did you get the full package sort of thing that Parsonage got? I shall post mine when I get them. In Acmilan's thread, he mentioned he was similarily confused with english, whether it was out of 100 or 105.

Do arts then. I was in the arts lecture and ~80% were decent looking white chicks.

Could've got an Early Janruary offer, but choose not to. Got an offer in the December round though.

It could be 93, 94 or 95, as decimal points are used. Proof can be seen in hugh Parsonage's FOI request. As far as I know the only way you could find out is with a FOI request.

I partly agree, you need to have to have a strong interest. However personal predujuces have to be minimised. I don't meen to sound racist, but a Chinese, Japanese and a Maldavian student would most probably all conclude different things about the Nanking 'massacre'. The majority of the course...

My school went from 450ish to 411. The list should have my name on it though. No other students at my school got a top band.

Re: 2009 HSC results by school Good find. Hopefully someone can collate this so we can get the full rankings.

Depending on your topic, you may find alot of your texts online. Particularly, I found there were alot of ancient texts which had been scanned and available free of charge on the web. Have you tried searching Uni libraries? Macquarie University has a library program aimed specifcally at History...

In yesterday's Daily telegraph they published the top 3 schools from each region in NSW which included schools way outside of the top 100. It said it would put the full rankings of each region on it's website. This would have been good, and would have been easy to collate, however the list has...

Too bad he's gone.

Do you what you enjoy, not what scales/aligns the best.
