    If I miss out on UTS (which looks kinda likely perhaps) I'll be doing B communication and Media Studies (journalism)/b arts double at wollongong. I'm going for my interview at weerona in a few weeks.

    UTS Residences

    Has anyone else got an offer to live in the UTS residences? I got mine today!!! I can't login to accept though, the site won't work... I also don't know which residence I got in to, I hope it's the new one because it's so central and I have only been to Sydney about 3 times in my entire life...

    how did all the 2003ers go?

    Jingle, your MW was great, I thought it was better than mine... I thought you would have been mid to high 40's for sure!!!! The whole marking for this subject seems screwed... get your teacher to put in a protest I reckon. People at my school who did short stories got mid 40's marks and I...

    Anyone thinking of a remark?

    Huy... my teacher is protesting my mark to the board of studies and trying to get my MW remarked... I was going to get the clerical recheck done though in case there was an error typing marks in to the computer or something (which I doubt). My parents want me to get a clerical recheck for all...

    Chemistry marks

    Exam mark 82 Assessment 88 HSC mark 85 UAI 96.5 Not bad considering my chem teacher would have only taught us about a quarter of the syllabus and the rest I had to get notes for and learn for myself.

    Maybe they visited the site during a heavy traffic time (e.g. yesterday) and couldn't get on so they thought it was pulled down?

    2003ers- Memorized Essays vs Adaptive Knowledge of Text

    I know there is already a thread on here for marks but due to the recent SMH article (http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/12/20/1071868698254.html) I thought it would be interesting to see the marks of those who memorized essays compared to the marks of those who learnt about the texts and had...

    Hehe.. this site getting mentioned on smh.. interesting

    That is flawed... a question... how many people's english teachers advised them to learn one general essay... my teacher certainly didn't but it seemed like a common practise... so you can't blame sites like bos, teachers who endorse that method of examination preparation and the board of...

    Highest UAI at your school

    What was the highest UAI at your school? My school did pretty badly this year, mine was the highest (96.5).... usually the dux has to get at least high 97's... and they thought our year would do really really well. So what were the highest UAIs at your schools?

    Just so you know, my teacher is making an appeal to have my major work remarked cause he disagrees with the mark. I didn't know that this was possible, so if anyone else thinks their mark is wrong then see your teacher and see what they think. It probably won't change anything but it's worth a...

    Breakdown of UAI

    That's what I did when I rang the HSC Inquiry Line yesterday lol.... "I didn't do as well as I should have in Englihs Extension 2" "Well, may be your teacher marked you higher in the assessment and you didn't do as well in the exam as you thought. I know it's dissapointing but..." "There...

    It's so unfair that they marked one medium harder than another... if I'd known I would have done a short story. It sucks so much... my mediocre major work mark along with my dissapointing UAI just might make me majorly compain to the board.

    2003 UAIs

    Fuck off. I'm not just dissapointed because of that. I'm allowed to have my own fucking aims... I got dux of my fucking school and I got handed this useless UAI.... some of my results for my subjects are screwed... Doing well is relative... if you were expecting 85 and you got 92 well you...
