Re: Exam 08 The issues raised in the WIH source were handed to you on a platter, really. - Can an historian tell a story? Can it be used to entertain? I talked here about how Gammage seemed to contradict himself. Can history be used to entertain, while remaining truthful to the past? I used...

I stand corrected. But the point stands that you don't get multiple 100's very much. Last year, a girl came second in the state with 99, so, yeah.

No, neither received state rankings. 96 was close, but I guess no cigar. Tenth place in modern last year was 97, so if my deductions are correct... As for the state ranking in modern, that would sweet. I think I earned a good raw mark too but my philosophy is not to expect much because the...

Namu is correct. The top mark in 2U is often 99.

I rang on Friday and they said that not all offers have been released yet.

No, I think I probably got around 116-118.

Namu, reckon you'll get a state ranking for 2U maths? I hope to get one, but meh not counting on it.

Yes, but still, internal marks count too! lol

LOL. Thanks, just reaffirms my stats. ;)

I think it may have been because girl A had a huge lead over girl B in their internals. The BOS love issuing lovely little vague comments about their procedures, so we can't really make much from them.

Well I'm just saying that your internal assessments play a big role in determining state ranks. My friend at SBHS, in modern: Boy A: Internal 97 External 94 Overall 96 Boy B: Internal 94 External 97 Overall 96 Because boy B was not ranked first, he did not get his internal mark of 97 (as he...

Actually, your statement doesn't disprove what I said, or prove that I got wrong stats. (And they're not wrong.) Just because HSC marks may take precendence in calculating state ranks doesn't mean that the average of their exam and internal marks cannot shuffle the ranks around. I take the...

Modern history, maths? Nah. :hammer: Too competitive. I'm looking for consistency with my results anyway, so no state rank will be fine by me.

Yes, I believe so. And how fair would it be if it wasn't using both your assessment and your external mark?

Actually, the idea that state rankings are based primarily on externals is slightly untrue. Two girls at my school got state rankings in legal studies last year: Girl A: Internal 98 External 96 Overall 97 - 6th in the state Girl B: Internal 96 External 98 Overall 97 - 9th in the state On the...

^ There were many more mistakes in F2F's program, and just because the program is written by uni students doesn't mean they shouldn't take a more professional approach to preparing their materials. They do, after all, cost $400 just to have access to them. The least you could expect would be...

Shrug. That's what he told me. :hammer::hammer: So yeah, I don't know.

Laurie Field got 4th place in MX2. 99 in 3U, probably silly mistakes got the better of him.

Apart from the fact that people continued working, without pens down? Or do we just ignore the BOS's blatant lying here. You may correct me if you wish. Did you or didn't you have pens down during this time?

No.
