I Heard that some notes posted on BOS are intentionally "bullshitted" to fool kids into false information hence dragging their marks down

Ultimately, dragging the average down soo the person posting the notes has some sort of advantage :S:bomb:

iz it evident in any notesz u have downloaded....or iz this all just BULLSHYT and iz the person telling me this spreading rumous ? :S:mad1:

Re: are some notes on BOS BULLSHIT?

Okay let's say they were the only notes on bored of studies, let's also say that every single person attempting the HSC soley uses those notes without question, heck, let's even say that every single HSC student except said person who uploaded the notes, went through a whole year of their HSC oblivious to why they were getting such poor marks and decided to use the notes again in the final HSC exam.

Then sure maybe it will drag the average down

edit: nonetheless, if they got most people in their grade doing that particular subject using the "bullshitted" notes then yeah, it could be an advantage to them

From what I've seen they're mostly pretty good.
Premium notes ftw though.

I've heard of this but have never encountered such bogus notes myself.

Probably best to cross-check all your notes (as people make mistakes) as a general rule in any case.

This.

Seriously though, you're doing yourself a disservice if you rely purely on notes from BOS alone anyway. This isn't to say that there aren't some great resources here, I know there are some amazing notes out there that people have uploaded. But you should always check the notes and read wider using your textbooks to gain a more concrete understanding of your subjects.

I do suppose BoS notes are better than no notes, but I can't say if it's really any better than sleeping on textbooks and having content diffuse into your brain. :-|
we call it 'osmosis' :p

They're intended only to be used as supplementary material to your own notes, THEY'RE NOT A SOLE STUDY SOURCE.

Stop being lazy and make your own notes.

you probably shouldnt be relying completley on bos for your notes.
rely on yourself first.. if youre oblivious enough to not know if the notes have been bullshitted or not, then you obviously havent been paying attention in class anyways?

If you think about it, most notes are uploaded by people who finished the HSC so they don't benefit in any way or gain an advantage over those who download them. With that being said it is always good to double check the notes and prepare your own.
