A lot of people on this forum are taking their HSC marks incredibly seriously, which is understandable given as we've just received them, however, it's value will turn out to be unimportant as time goes by. The HSC is by no means a test of how smart a person is - people can be smart but not very...
Please don't judge me:
Italian Continuers - 90/100 (band 6)
Music 1 - 87/100 (band 5)
Studies of Religion 1 - 43/50 (band 5)
English Advanced - 84/100 (band 5)
Italian Extension - 40/50 (band E3)
Biology - 79/100 (band 4) (pissed because I did extra classes, worked hard, did past papers, did...
I needed 84.6 for Science/Arts and got 85.5, plus the possibility of bonus points (flexible entry). Does this mean I'm automatically in? Science/Arts at Sydney is my first preference.
I am. I was going to do Forensic Biology @ UTS but since I got really good Italian marks I thought it would be a shame to give it up, so majoring in Italian studies for the Arts aspect and then Biochemistry for the Science aspect.
85.5 - not fantastic but got into Arts/Science at Sydney like I wanted. Really disappointed with Bio - worked hard all year, did extra classes and got rewarded with a friggin 79 as my final mark. Went from 38% in the trials to 76% in the HSC for maths and got a band 6 in Italian Continuers so at...
Re: Is anyone else concerned about their ATAR after their performance in the HSC exam
I have 2 units of backup as well but I kind of screwed that up too - forgot the lyrics in one of my music performances, screwed up Bio pretty badly (was aiming for band 6 but will be lucky to get mid band...
What year are you in? If you're in year 10/11, I say do it. We have 5 doing music 1, 1 doing music 2 and 3 doing physics (initially 2 did music 2 and 8 did physics but people dropped/moved to music 1). Although if you're already doing the HSC now, bit pointless.
Really wasn't motivated much this year and it affected my ranks. I'm also quite young (17) and possibly immature. If my HSC results aren't good (i.e. if I get below 85), I want to do the HSC in 2012 through TAFE or at Bradfield College, how do I do that?
I can't even remember anything I wrote - something about how the knowledge of biological processes has led to the development of medical phenomena (antibiotics and vaccinations) and implications on society are antibiotic resistance and the gradual increase in prevalence of viral diseases due to...
Was anyone else really pissed off by the question? How are you supposed to write about the concentration camp and tell the story of the reward from the perspective of a 5-year-old? The only thing he really cared about was the tank. Terrible question and I hope it gets aligned well because a...
Lost a few marks in the last 2 questions. Other than that, not bad. Reckon I got full marks in multiple choice so just have to hope that the rest of the paper went well. My rank dropped from 17th to 20th/42 during trials (I was one mark below the median, three people on 17th so after that was...
