    What was your biggest differerence in your HSC marks?

    They are not scaled but they are moderated ie moved so that the highest exam mark becomes the highest assesment mark and so that both sets of numbers have the same mean. There is a thread or two around somewhere... It has nothing to do with any perceived "ranking" of your school, the numbers...

    Hsc Prize

    My sister told me she would give me her iPaq if I go well, think she recanted somewhere along the line... Not sure what well is though, I wanted 90+, but if I had actually done some form of study at any point in the year/not done night and morning before jobs I could have gone 97+. Thing is, my...

    Official HSC Results Thread: So how did u go?

    Slightly disappointed in some ways, was really hoping for at least one 6er after getting all 6ers in SC but that said my marks are nothing to be upset about even if they are not shout from the rooftops material.... Eco 86 Eng 83 !!!! (failed most assessments considerably, was praying for a...

    Is anyone here in your exam room?

    853 - Marian College Kenthurst To some extent alphabetical and age related, but my school is sixteen or so years old, some newer schools have lower numbers. Another example of the incogruent, not to mention baffling, conduct and operations of the Board of Studies :D

    hsc related suicides, iv heard about 20 this year

    Way over simplified definition: Bi-polar is a mood disorder where one experiences depression and generally either mania or hypomania (excessive highs). Bipolar means at opposing ends of a spectrum. Depending on the type of bipolar and its intensity, bipolar can become debilitating while others...

    Core: WW1

    WWI was dead easy! Guessed it would be peace conferences (but didn't actually get around to even looking over WWI)! Anyone else think they may have misread the question about which of the Allies had the highest casualties or whatever.... *looks slightly frazzled

    Cold War

    Me too :) Lol, strange that.... :) The queston was interesting in that it asked you to look at the failings of detente but I thought it was a good question, made you rethink slightly the way you look at detente and that period. Well it would have made me rethink if I had known any kind...

    New rep policy

    Darn... In some ways I am glad they got rid of bad rep, makes you feel so dirty... But then the other day I went to neg rep someone, not realising that it had been removed. I couldn't help but feel that it was slightly unfair that a longer-term member, albeit for the most part a lurker, could...

    The 2004 HSC - Mathematics Extension 1 Paper

    Me too :( Paper was waay too long, even if I had been 100% confident in my answers there's no way i could finsih all of it with my slow writing :( Guesstimate: Late 50's, 60/84 (In which case it would be the first 3U test I have ever passed :uhhuh: )

    What would you like to see on BOS 2005?

    I agree with the idea to be able to rate sources (though it would mean more replication in use of particular ones --> more likely to have same ones plagiarised/HSCers using same notes with same examples etc). Lol, being dedicated and going through all of them often means you find some gems...

    Media Reports/case studies thread

    Chance to share some of those media reports you've been hording for a year :) I'll post some of mine off my dad's putes later but I thought it would be useful if we all shared some of our favourite/best media reports/stats etc :D

    Why is English the only paper without a choice of questions(other than maths!)?

    I find it strange that English doesn't have a choice of questions, other than between modules. I know it's another question/s to write and mark separately but I know I would feel more secure if their was a choice. Comments?

    Democrats to give prefs to Family First Party

    Back to the original point of this thread, I have always been a democrats supporter so I was understandably shocked when their pref deals came out - so much for socially responsible, they have actually become concerned with votes! jk So, yes, I think the Democrats preferencing will lose a lot...
