Urgh, that was fun. I did the afternoon Sydney session.
The group activities are fairly simple. Needed a bit of impromptu presentation skill.
The interviews were... again, not too taxing, pretty much what you'd expect.
It's an extra incentive (to the tune of $4000) for top-ranked students in each high school in NSW; basically, the school can nominate one person for it, and if that person goes to UNSW, they get the sweet, sweet cash.
Oh God, I hope my envelope gets there in time...
PHYS 93 <-- was hoping for higher
ECO 93 <-- happy-ish, at least the essays didn't screw me over as much as they could have
ENG ADV 86 <-- crap... there goes a mid-99 UAI... (exam mark 82? must have been modules)
ENG EXT 1 40 <-- bahahaha what a joke
CHEM 92 <-- haha i was getting hammered in...
Holy crap. Shore did really well this year.
Marty topped Latin and Latin Ext, and Jeff topped History Ext.
...
Holy crap. Hopefully the rest of my year does as well as these guys did.
WHY DID I NOT DO LATIN
WHY
Actually, just having the last three years' stats doesn't help you that much, especially in something like that question where you need to look back over 10 years, to completely analyse the success of monetary policy and decentralisation of labour markets.
I liked the exam. Multis and short...
10 for essay, 8 for creative. Soooo happy. I wrote 5 pages for my trial essay and got 20/25, and this was a much better attempt overall.
Length is not indicative of quality, but it helps.
If I'm the second luckiest man in the world, 90/120 raw.
If not, ~85/120. (The luckiest man, incidentally, is the person I am trying to beat.)
I have no idea what that means in terms of a scaled mark.
Module 1: 16/20, although I really have no idea
Module 2: 15/20 if I'm lucky
Module 3: 15-16/20, simply because I actually answered the question asked for Frontline, unlike at least half of the rest of the stupid state
total: 47/60 (I need band 6 though)
