    Thoughts?

    Lol, I totally bs'd this question. I talked about farming/agriculture = more emphasis placed on taking sulfates and nitrates from the water, as well as microorganisms from the water from manure e.g. giardia. Use coagulants for the sulfates, chlorine for the microbes. Then I talked if your...

    Thoughts?

    For the ethanol 5 marker, I thought it was necessary to bring in one point about moral/ethical issues. For example, the information is made less reliable because of its source: a car manufacturer. I thought they gave us detail on the source of the information for a reason, and since they like...

    Estimate Raw Mark

    Hopefully 90/100. Chem isn't counting but I'm glad I ended my HSC on a high note.

    History Question Plz

    Thanks cem. Going by what you said before - if a person makes no attempt to answer the question, but does provide information about their personality's life, they would receive around 6, right? The marking is not too stringent, is it? If we've made quite a bit of reference to the personality's...

    History Question Plz

    Remember guys that this is a ten mark question and that you shouldn't be penalised too heavily if you did not explicitly state "personal context" - this is history; it is highly probably that writing about the key events in your personality's lifetime, what you wrote demonstrated an...

    Eng Ext Urgent Q

    I know it's a bit late, but yes you need to incorporate theorists into EEI analytical responses. I hope you did! :D

    General Thoughts: Modern History 2008 HSC Exam

    The question referred to the importance of the Emperor in the Allied success. You didn't have to recount what had happened during the Occupation. Yes, you needed to shove those in but you needed to write about it in relation to the Emperor. You needed to talk about several issues here: The...

    Raw marks/aligning for History Extension.

    Yeah, gotta remember that as you go up into the high 90s, the gaps between what constitutes say, a 49/50, decrease. E.g. A 38-41 could be 45, 41-43 could be 46, 44-45 might by 47, 47 might be 48, 48+ goes into the 49/50 range. The Board works in mysterious ways ~~~.

    Raw marks/aligning for History Extension.

    According to my calculations, around 400 people got E4's last year.

    Raw marks/aligning for History Extension.

    I reckon I might get around low-40's. I hate post-exam period. You're thinking about your mark all the time. With me, it fluctuates. What if I did something wrong, etc? Haha. I don't have any real ability in history extension, so I'll be happy with E4. Please E4. Pleasee.

    Raw marks/aligning for History Extension.

    [/B]Yeah, you'd think so but for the extension subjects, it's often the opposite. For 3U maths, ridiculously low marks get band E4's so yeah. =\

    Raw marks/aligning for History Extension.

    I really hope that I achieved a raw mark of around 47 or 48/50. The case study question fitted in really well to the response I had prepared, and the WIH, I hope I got around a 22 or 23 for it. I got 41/50 for my trial. I didn't know what to do for the case study so I got 16/25 then LOL!

    Raw marks/aligning for History Extension.

    Well, EEI and history extension have very similar scaling and so it wouldn't be unreasonable to suggest that a mark around 40 would equate to a band E4.

    Raw marks/aligning for History Extension.

    I'm guessing around a 39/50 will be E4. Just based on the previous alignment reports, to get an E4 for extension English required around 34/50 a few years back. Since history extension scales a little worse, I think it'd be a few marks higher than this.

    What to do if you have not heard from UWS:

    Hey guys, Just thought I'd let people know what to do if you haven't heard from UWS. I hadn't heard from UWS regarding my med application, but luckily the resident med-affairs expert Wooz provided a number for Lyndal in the other thread, and I called. Turns out, they hadn't received half of...

    Did you agree or disagree with source 1?

    Same! I brought in the fact that there are events where we can't remove e.g. morality from e.g. The Holocaust. In such a way, history can be used as a practical means of allowing society to progress. I thought in matters where we have common ground, we should be allowed to comment.

    Did you agree or disagree with source 1?

    I agreed with him about: - Using evidence to get to the truth and basing history on this. - Being able to comment about history. - Rejecting 'theory' i.e. Pomo. I disagreed with him about history being about storytelling and entertaining however.

    State Rankings

    Typically, around for phys it's 97+. For chem, you need to get around 96 (I think the 96's are ranked because there are a few).
