I received one offer yesterday so I removed that preference and put another preference at the top. This program (releases Jan Round 1) had required all applicants to submit a personal statement. Until now, it said - "Decision pending - additional selection criteria" in grey, now it says "You...

What was your ATAR?

From what I understand: Exams are marked and given a raw score, raw scores are then scaled to reflect the overall sense of difficulty in the subject and the exam. A person then gets their scaled mark + their rank’s scaled mark and those two values are averaged, and this mark is finally adjusted...

In 2022, 2021 and 2020, the former State Liberal-National Government accidentally released results early.

Rank: 18/69 Trial Mark: 73/100 Estimated raw in HSC: 80/100 Also, my school says the 18th highest mark in the trials was an 80 raw - my predicted raw internal mark assuming nobody does better or worse than in trials School Band 6’s in 2023 and 2022 are 0 and 0, but school says this year’s...

One month until ATARs are released

This is very concerning for HSC students who are applying to a more competitive program….precious places in competitive ANU, USyd and UNSW programs might be taken (stolen) by VCE kids with an inflated ATAR More on the scandal here...

This is what I think I got in the HSC (raw marks) English Advanced: 81/100 Biology: 85/100 Economics: 83/100 Mathematics Advanced: 51/100 Geography: N/A Exam 8 Nov What would the aligned marks roughly be for each predicted score? Am I cooked for Maths or will it scale to mid-high 70s?

Based on the unofficial solutions available and your gut feeling, what mark do you think you got in the Biology exam?

Are you allowed to bring some mints into the exam (in a clear plastic small box) and/or chew gum for improved concentration?

since solutions have been provided on this forum, it would be interesting to get people's responses on how they think they went in a poll
