Which is more glorious/prestigious? Being one of the best in the state for a subject or achieving B6 across 10 units? Discuss :)

I'd say both are credible.

When you get to uni these are the only things which you could probably still boast about. ATAR is barely talked about (Have not been asked once this whole semester and I've spoken to probably 50-100 people).

Tbh I was not far off thinking I could get all rounders. At the time before HSC everyone said I had a chance to B6 everything. In fact I got 88+ in 8 units in the end.

However I much would have rathered a state rank.

But coming back to think about it I probs did get top 10 in the state for Age of Silicon in Physics, even though only 100 people do it every year :haha:

State rank age of silicon studies

probs closer to a state rank than most of the BoSers who claim they are state rankers

Nah there are actually a few state rankers here (you have met them before at the seminar).

But I got 22/25 for AoS, and it aligned for 22/25 so I guess I probs was more likely in top 25 lol (I was kinda exaggerating, and I think there would have been a few people with above 22/25 :p).

I swear HSC Physics last year was way too easy. That's why it aligned so shit (I could have gotten 95 any other year for my raw mark).

I believe in you brah.

iirc you are doing six 1 unit subs, two 2 unit subs and are finishing HSC next year because this year you aren't legible because too many one unit subs.

Jokes.

State rank. People will also buy your resources because it's legit top-of-the-state material. #profitmotive

E4 in MX2, still can't correctly work out 6 multiplied by 2
No you said 8 state ranks.

and 6 are two unit subjects :p

So minimum requirement is 14 units.

Sorry bud but automatically you don't qualify for 8 state ranks.

You can still get 6 though!
