    I think i stuffed up maths for trials

    The numerical value of your raw internal mark means nothing. You will get a moderated internal mark based on collective cohort performance and relative gaps between you and everyone else.

    Law and Morality: Is there a necessary connection?

    I believe there's an inseparable link between morality and the operative law. As you've stated, the issue with accounting for a moral influence on the law is the divided moral conception present amongst society. In this sense, balancing competing moral views is a perpetual goal of the law rather...

    School is a waste of time?

    What's school? Surrendering yourself to the unrestrained thought process of the teachers as they continue to blurt out the importance of doing well in the HSC - it becomes so reiterated that everyone gets stressed. Stress causes memory loss. Memory loss causes poor performance in exam. Poor...

    How much do internal rankings affect your ATAR?

    What makes it worse is the widespread misunderstanding amongst the teachers - most don't know how the process works. They exert their misconceived thoughts onto the students, hence the commonality of false opinion.

    Differences in Rankings

    My SOR2 teacher was talking about outliers. He did a certain calculation and said anyone that gets under 42% won't be counted in the moderation process. He was also mentioning the standard deviation. I didn't really understand what was going on, but BOS definitely excludes outliers from the...

    How much do internal rankings affect your ATAR?

    People get confused when you say only the mark matters, when the mark is encapsulated within the rank. I get what you're saying though, it's about the gaps between the ranks as well.

    How much do internal rankings affect your ATAR?

    You're correct. The numerical value of the raw mark is always moderated. I think what D94 was saying is that coming fifth with 1% behind first is better than coming second with 12% from first. Your raw internal mark will be moderated depending on collective cohort performance. However, your...

    Is it too late to start writing notes?

    I think two days of intense cramming sets an appropriate trajectory for a good mark, but is that assuming the student already has a rudimentary understanding of the content? I think learning a whole module from scratch two days before an exam is unrealistic for sciences, but possible for easier...

    Is it too late to start writing notes?

    If your idea of writing notes is going to be exerting a perfectionist-like touch to every letter that is written, or ensuring you have over-answered the dot point so there's nothing else they can ask you on, you'll finish one module by Christmas. Cut the discourse, go straight to the point...

    Can you lose marks by appealing?

    I'd imagine not. I appealed a task before, 13/15 and there were two options; mark remains unchanged or mark increased. I doubt they can detract marks they already gave you, then it's just a freaking game.

    Stop imposing your artificial view on an institution which probably wouldn't accept you i.e. someone who got 6 for his uni test.
