    ATAR estimate?

    if those are the marks you plan to get into the hsc, why not just use SAM? If those are internal marks from school though, then give us your ranks

    Visual techniques

    Nah, the teacher (who was apparently in the past a senior hsc marker), he said explicitly they weren't techniques. I just thought, weird, cos our other teacher had always taught us to use those

    Trial HSC results?

    Marriage - really the 'best fit'?

    *Sigh* perhaps I have too much faith in humanity

    Marriage - really the 'best fit'?

    I disagree. It's relevant because the divorce rate is the main reason we're having this entire thread here. If people get divorced so often, or don't and have familial problems and it's not in the best interests of the children, why should we have marriage? Despite the stereotypical, most...

    Band 6 raw marks

    Just because someone's gonna get over 90, doesn't mean they don't need to worry...You need more than 90 for law or medicine. And the reason people don't take you seriously is because you don't actually try reading what people say, you just keep asking questions which have already been answered...

    How can you get your English Examiner to "like" your essay?

    Technique example effect, make insightful observations which you give value to by backing them up with quotes, and identify the technique(s) used in the quote and the effect this has on the responder. Also, use big words. Seriously. Write bigger. I write large and tend to do well, I'm not sure...

    Quick question..

    it depends on what you want to do. But don't give up. Too many students lose the confidence to do the externals after stuffing up internals, don't let it get you down

    Is that a joke? People have told me I write well, and I could barely understand some of the words you used. Awesome vocab, I don't see any problem

    How hard is it to get a 95 UAI

    Dude it does matter. my ranks are 25/50 in each subj, my school is ranked first. My ranks are 25/50 in each sub, my school is ranked 250. I'd think there'd be quite a difference. Yes, internal ranks matter. But school rank is also very important

    How hard is it to get a 95 UAI

    About 90 in each subject (that's external), or the one unit equivalent. Going to a private school means nothing, it's the school rank that really means something. Internal marks are harder to judge

    Mexico

    I refrain from having an opinion, but friends have joked about them as being poor drug dealers. Not that they're racists, at least, not in other circumstances.

    Trials Are over..

    It's your marks that the school sends in. But really, what matters are three things: 1) Your rank 2) the marks between your ranks and those of others 3) School rank If everyone fails a test but you get first, don't worry; you'd still be in an advantageous position relative to your grade, and...
