    Okay, So what is a reflection?

    Dunno what trial it was, but we had the same question on 'reflections'. We've gone over it in class, and I think basically it's almost like a diary-type thing where you demonstrate a gradual change in your understanding of the text(s) in each reflection, from superficial to more complex and...

    ATAR Estimate

    Dunno about school rank, but I reckon 75 is quite possible with those ranks

    Australian economy completely avoids recession

    Both the IMF and Ken Henry have conceded the effectiveness of Australia's stimulus measures. Are you more qualified?

    Economics UNSW

    I just lost the game. Source please, though I believe you.

    Chemistry or Economics?

    DO NOT choose subjects based on how much they scale, especially when they both scale well. Last year, eco and physics were basically the same in terms of scaling, while chem was a bit higher. But if you want an easier subject that scales well, choose eco

    Chemistry or Economics?

    Depends on what you wanna do in uni, I do eco but not chem...They both scale well and all, so I'd say chem, as it's a prerequisite to many uni courses whereas eco is not. I've heard chem is harder though

    Is there anyone else who is afraid they wont get their desired UAI?

    I'd say that's probably most people's motivations to work harder

    Brace myself for disappointment...?

    It's pretty arrogant to think you're capable of getting 100 in every hsc exam if you've bludged all year in a top school. I think he needs a reality check

    Independent Schools Trial Marks

    I've got no clue which trial I did. Was max/min based on a cylinder inside a sphere for q10? Lol am I allowed to ask this?

    Visual techniques

    Yeah I know but I'm not really sure about other visual techniques I could discuss...Like can juxtaposition be used? Could metaphor? etc.

    Will you still have a chance to get ATAR of 95+ if you school is BAD

    If you're good enough as to be ranked first in each of your subjects, and come first in your grade in all the hsc exams, you won't be affected to any extent, at least according to my understanding. If you work hard enough and effective enough, however, even if your rank is not first it doesn't...

    Visual techniques

    Right, well now I'm doubly pissed off because apparently salience was accepted. Btw, for what it's worth the visual text was a cartoon

    Ranked better or Smarter people better?

    Dude stop WORRYING ABOUT THIS TECHNICAL CRAP AND JUST WORK. Procrastination in any form will make you do poorly, irrelevent of how many smart people there are

    Economics UNSW

    Your hsc is in 09, same as me. You probably know little more than me. So why would UNSW be so much better? I've come to the conclusion that they're both pretty much very similar. I'm well aware of the requirements. However, I prefer the look of Sydney AND I'm considering (if I get into...

    Band 6???

    That should be aligned marks
  18. A

    Brace myself for disappointment...?

    You're quite arrogant, and getting high 90s in every hsc exam is very unlikely given your current position. I'm pretty sure though that the performance of 3u maths people in the 2u exams will affect you
  19. A

    Estimate?

    Maybe high 80s, English will fuck you up big time with barely a pass
