I made reference to the question in this section and made detailed reference to the poem they asked for, but I didn't make the "to what extent" part too clear? I said she does so "cleverly" and harwood "shows the importance of memory in comforting an adult" but I didn't specifically use the...
The only person I have access to is my school teacher and then there are teachers who don't teach me, but teach the other Advanced English classes. So how exactly do you get access to HSC markers?
I've been getting 15-16/20's and about 11-12/15 for my essays before and for trials. However after trials I re did all my essays and stepped them up a notch! I sent my essays to my teachers to mark them and they all give me 14/15 and 19/20's for everything.
Should I be worried, since they...

This might help - she speaks about oxford, but the process is similar though :)
All the Best
when they say that the Schools Assessment page now submitted online, what do they ask the careers teacher? does any one know? bcs my teacher is really grumpy and sort of hates me!
Re: Umat
like I said somewhere in the thread, I know of girl who tops physics, chem and Engineering studies in my school and scored 0-20%. I am not even 1/2 as smart as she is and I scored in the 97th percentile. I don't think the UMAT, is necessarily a test of intelligence and I can assure you...
Re: Umat
haha true that in away :)... she does 3unit though, but I don't know her marks, bcs I don't do 3 unit.
I guess I just find it hard to accept that some one who scores incredible marks like her bombed out at the UMAT!
Re: Umat
Thanks :) I doubt it, she scores almost full marks for physics as well. I'm honestly sad for her.. she'd make such a great doctor + such a nice person!!!
My careers teacher, asked her to send it in for re correction - do hope there is a change for her sake! Trust me I'm only 1/2...
Re: Umat
I got 97th percentile and truth be told I'm not even applying for medicine.. did it just in case I thought I might like it, but defs not applying.
the girl who tops my chem class and who is bound to get a state rank, got 0 - 20% percentile and she wants to do medicine so badly. I feel...
Re: = Fuckin firsts (Good god)
if you work it out according to the BOS regulations (omitting the outlier) then it is (97 + 90)/2 = 93.5 , but since it rounds up 94
and then your final HSC Mark will be (94+97)/2 = 95.5 which rounds up to 96, and it doesn't seem to make much of a difference...
Re: = Fuckin firsts (Good god)
I think the best way to find out is to e mail the BOS and provide them with this similar scenario and see how they go about responding. In the case of them, saying they average the two, regardless of the difference, then perhaps approach your school and tell...
Re: = Fuckin firsts (Good god)
the board of studies states that they average the two highest external marks. but I' pretty sure they are open to the fact there can be a gap between ( a massive one like in the 97/88-90 example) and that to me looks like an outlier..the only way to confirm this...
