i don't think it takes into account extra curricualr activities. It says that the board of studies, using their own criteria sends the list to them.

Apart from the Premier's Award, there's a Commonwealth funded HSC prize:http://www.dest.gov.au/sectors/school_education/programmes_funding/programme_categories/scholarships_awards_prizes/australian_students_prize/default.htm Does anyone know the criteria for the NSW HSC recipients? They...

since balderunner is on the advanced syllabus, it would be unwise to use it. Even if teachers say that you're not penalised for using a text already on the english syallbus, it gives a very bad impression, that you are too lazy to find your own texts. As a result, examiners are more likely...

make sure you discuss genre - it's conventions, ideas and values. This is what your course is structured around it. Above all, when discussing your texts, spend less time talking about how they conform and spend more on how they subvert the genre.

have fun with revenge. It is an extremely interesting and if you do the work, you can achieve really high marks. It is so much more interesting and meaningful than english advanced, as well as being less than half the work.

make sure your related texts are unique! Markers are people too, and they get bored of reading the same stuff- regardless of how good it is. Having a unique, maybe post modern text, captures the marker's attention, who then is more likely to give a better mark.

i know, what a snoozefest... and btw, what exactly does "smart casual" clothing entail?

Maybe i'm being a little harsh about high. It's just that we have such great students at the top, but the bottom kind of lets us down. But hey, I'm proud of having studied there. Even if I was offered a place to Ruse, I wouldn't take it, nor do I think that I would've received my UAI if I...

have fun studying latin this year. Latin students are always the smartest!:)

i found chem texts to be the most useful overall. Although the 4th edition of conquering chemistry does look very flashy. Shame it only came out one week before my HSC.

trust me, if you're competent with the English language, keep Eng ext 1. It is so much less work and more fun than Advanced.

sounds quite suitable to me.

Since ruse has the elusive number one ranking, parents of the smartest year 6 kids will send them there. Plus, they reinforce their students by poaching the best 15 students from other selective high schools, so i think ruse will be on top for a long time to come. oh and SBHS in my opinion...

depends, if you're completely lost at school, since your teacher is just useless, then tutoring is really for you.

fraud!

sam 2004/5 predicted almost exactly my actual UAI: it was 0.05 off. JUAI is a little less accurate, especially since it predicts anything around 99.8 as 100.00

oh, that makes sense

god, i'm actually completely opposite to most of you. SC: 2 band 6's, 3 band 5's HSC: All band 6's goes to show, sc doesn't mean anything!

oh and to zelba, i've just checked out ur post in the uai thread, you said you got 97.9. so why would usyd invite you, just curious?
