Hmm, approaching mid 90s is much harder than approaching 90s - law of diminishing returns, need to do more study for that extra mark, etc.

this quote was in another thread

anyway, u dont know if this post has anything to do with it but it reminded me...

sometimes at school, 1 mark can rank you up like 10 places

SO, in the hsc, 1 mark is really important right? like it can rank u up maybe 100 places??

Quite possible - particularly in the ranges where students are all bunched closely together. Back in 2001, a difference of 4 marks made a difference of me being placed in the top 9% of the candidture opposed to my mate who was placed in the top 17%.

hmm.. ok

Yeah I reckon 1 mark will make a lot of difference.

Imagine being 0.05 away from your course and you can't get in. That 1 mark could make or break you.

Yeah, some marks make a big diff. In the trials I got 61 for English, ranked 102/118, one of my mated got 69, ranked 69/118.
