'ALL merit lists.' guess we can get a sneak peek on tuesday....how nice. :S

http://news.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/ "This week also sees the release of the 2013 HSC merit lists, including: First in Course – students who come first in an HSC course (provided their result is also in the top band). Top Achievers in Course – students who are in the top places in each...

lol this thread is hillarious. chill out people, means jack shit. i messed up year 11 hard and bounced back no worries. from memory i got B6 in maths and science, band 5 in english and band 4 in everything else in school cert. left every exam ASAP and left some 7 markers in oz history/geo...

just say you wrote it yourself using dictionaries etc. so you couldn't remember the exact definition of the word while writing, but you knew it made sense when you looked it up.

i capitalised 'PUBLISHED' for a reason...

that doesnt happen. they have to give 3/3 if the answer is correct im pretty sure. but you can't get 1/3 or 2/3 if it's wrong. so showing working is essential. how do you buy your marks btw, i might do that out of curiosity if its not too expensive.

no idea, i go for atarcalculator.com cause it gives me the lowest lol but if they vary by 0.5 or even 1 atar then i'm probably screwed. i can almost never make the talent 100 go below 97 for me, even if i enter my worst possible scenarios in every subject. but it's probs gonna be like 1 atar...

dont go to a selective school but like, looking at marking guidelines for chem prehsc. they looked pretty fair to me. so i don't really get what the whole fuss is about to be honest. and the raw marks seem to line up with my school's performance in trials and previous year's hsc marks. maybe...

probs didn't do as well as i was hoping, but in the scheme of things it'd still be a decent mark. when do the 1st in state thingos get PUBLISHED? is it before the normal results come out? ive obviously not topped anything, but wondering if any people i know have.

yep. topped 4u, 3u, eco and chem. no biggie. haha nah, if they called me to tell me that i'd probably say 'wrong number' and hang up.

personally, there's little diff between unsw and usyd academically. unsw probs has the edge, but it seriously has 0 impact in the end. no employer is gonna throw your resume out cause you went to one or the other. besides that, usyd appears to have a better social life, more white people and...

liberal studies bcom @ usyd 98ATAR -> bcom @ usyd 95 ATAR -> bcom @ unsw 91.3 (w. 5 bonus points) my preferences. if i dont get the last one then i'll just go tafe or something lol bit concerned with oversaturation of commerce degrees in the workforce. would that be a massive worry to me if i...

even top 10 schools, ncoul? i hear a lot of markers come from top 10 schools and private schools, i find it hard to believe they would mark differently from one to the other. in fact, other teachers would attempt to discuss with them and mark like them i reckon.

i doubt you can get credit for AP courses. they are similar to HSC level, sometimes more 'pure' maths or chem while hsc focuses on things relevant to the world, like environmental or whatever. i know they usually take a few weeks to cover the majority of the 4U course if you're doing...

yea that's true, but generally you'd think it'd be heading in a particular trend. Like maths and sciences are slowly beginning to scale worse or better or whatever.

bump ^^

Why do all the atar calculators seem to be using data from 2011? 2012 data would be more accurate i woulda thought, or is it still not out? http://www.matrix.edu.au/atar-calculator/ option to do it by year, but only goes up to 2011. http://www.atarcalculator.com.au/ "This calculator...

I understand everything about ATAR and scaling, but I dont understand why a strong cohort will 'pull you up.' If i go to ruse and come 100th, then that is actually really good and i'd probably still get a high 98 or 99. But if I went to a 50th ranked school I'd do pretty much the same in my...

i only had Na forming for molten nacl, which wasnt asked. and most of my notes were from the jacaranda text book, school notes (reliable) or tutoring notes. so they should be alright

also in my notes i have for dilute brine: Cathode: 2H2O(l) + 2e- H2 (g) + 2OH-(aq) Anode: 2H2O(l) O2 (g) + 4H+(aq) + 4e- and for conc. i have the chlorine. and since they didnt specify and i said all 3 that should be 3 marks right? (assuming the tests are correct)
