Raw examination mark 77, aligned to 83. So aligning was pretty terrible for Economics this year, half-explaining why I did worse than I thought, plus I did worse on the...
I'm getting Eco done as well. Eco was my strongest subject, did ten+ past papers and got them marked by my teacher and got between 85-95 raw on them and I felt the exam was reasonably easy and then I get 83. :confused2:

My old school, Tweed River High in Tweed Heads (~630, one of the bottom schools in the state) used to seriously advertise that they were "The top school in the state, geographically".
Going off last year's cutoff I needed 83.80.

I would like to make it clear that the Sydney Morning Herald is a publication of the highest quality especially in comparison to the Murdoch tabloid rival which is not to be named.
Shit went down a bit last year so I ended up only doing two subjects in 2013, Standard English and General Maths. I hardly studied for General Maths at all because I was completely focussed on bumping up my mediocre English score because I got an embarrassing 47% on my trial, still ranked first...
