    Hmmm should we be helping each other out now for externals??

    Yeah, i think most people wouldn't have a clue about the moderation process, whereas at my school, people realise that they need to help others to help themselves. (So basically being nice with an ulterior selfish motive) Haha, hate this. Especially when you assume they're embarssed so they...

    How to remember it all...

    Going in with a memorised essay for history is a terrible idea, and quite unecessary. Edit: Except today my ancient teacher was talking about how in modern, the first personality question is super predictable and basically asking for a memorised essay? So that would be an exception. I don't...

    Hmmm should we be helping each other out now for externals??

    What rank is your school? And seriously, don't bother wasting your time on them if they're too stupid to realise that its actually for their own good. But if there are people towards the bottom of your cohort who are actually struggling, you can offer to help them as individuals, rather than...

    How do you actually study?

    First of all, get yourself this book asap, if you don't already have it. It is SO useful, especially if your teacher doesn't teach you content. http://www.amazon.co.uk/History-Historians-Access-John-Warren/dp/0340679913 Then, use the syllabus as a study guide/ note writing guide...

    Hmmm should we be helping each other out now for externals??

    Do they not know that ranks do not matter anymore? I'd bet that a large majority of them would have no idea how internal mark moderation works, so they don't understand that helping less intelligent people do better will actually benefit themselves in the end. But i guess its their loss. I think...

    Post your CSSA MARKS HERE!

    If you are ranked first internally for all things, then the average of your school in the hsc exam will not affect you at all. Especially if you get significantly smarter than everyone else in your grade. Then your hsc will depend purely on your effort. (except for English)

    I said there are 60 000 kids sitting the hsc. You said there are THOUSANDS of schools....Do the maths and apply basic logic. And an inferiority complex is when i feel inferior to you, which i obviously don't. Please get something right. The point is, don't mislead people and give them a false...

    Which is the best uni for business/commerce/economics?

    Re: Which university is more reputable,credible, and better for Business/Commerce . Yeah, but that wouldn''t depend purely on the global university ranking right? Like that poster was implying ANU is the best uni in australia and to go to it purely beccause of its rank, when the reputation of...

    Hmmm should we be helping each other out now for externals??

    To some extent it is beneficial for you, but don't fully diverge alll your best notes/essays because you still want to beat theem in the exxteernal exam. However, if you are onne of the top students at a low rank scchool, potentially having your sschool prform badlyy in the hscc will...

    Which is the best uni for business/commerce/economics?

    Re: Which university is more reputable,credible, and better for Business/Commerce Wow, anyone who bases their uni choic on which one is ranked the highest is making a really poor decision. Global rankings don''t generally mean anything for undergrad courses...They are based on post graduate...

    Definitely not thousands. Hahaaaa. I'm pretty sure this list is all the schools in the state http://bettereducation.com.au/Results/Hsc.aspx And it only goes up to around 700. If you think about it, around 60 000 kids sit the hsc. If there are thousands of schools, then you're saying each school...

    Help in choosing subjects? What scales good and bad?

    Unless you're aiming for an atar of 98+ (not just for kicks, but because you actually need it for a career/course you want to pursue) Scaling should not even be a deciding factor of what you choose. Bottom line is, if you pick what you like and are good at, you will do better than if you pick a...

    Trial results were fairly abysmal. Please, I need an estimate.

    Nah, like when schools scale individual exam results cos of a low average. Khfreakau reckons its called aligning but my teacher calls it scalling, so in this case can they not be used synonymously

    Trial results were fairly abysmal. Please, I need an estimate.

    Gees, what's the difference betweeenn scaling and aligning are they not basically the same thing... And in general, isn't scaling/alligning better for poor performing kids, like my maths teacher said 2u would be scaled up around 10 marks for everyone, but obviously they can't scale me up to 100...

    Which is the best uni for business/commerce/economics?

    Re: Which university is more reputable,credible, and better for Business/Commerce Commerce is a very competitive industry, because every job you apply for as a grad, there will be thousands of people applying for the same position. Its not even enough to just have good grades, you need to...
