    Angry

    hard to say...I mean, if you transcribed that and it was an in-class assessment, that's an awesome mark. If you typed it up though, especially if you had no word limit, you could've been more thorough. For instance, in the biography section you barely mention her post world war 2 life at all...

    humanities/scaling

    internal marks don't mean anything, only ranks really. Yeah, they're an indication of your performance, but it's still easily possible to get over 98 with lower marks, just depends on how hard tests are. Also, people who get a 98+ UAI generally get 95+ for most subjects anyway, bar things like...

    I need some advice. Past HSCers miracle stories will do pl0x.

    Don't lose hope and waste your time writing a long monologue like this. Also, always respect people ahead of you, or at least try to a bit more. I mean jeez, if you're late for your classes, maybe you don't deserve a decent rank either. Just work harder.

    Domain and Range notation

    Hey, just thought I'd ask I use the jones and couchman 2 unit textbook, and as far as I can tell, in their chapter on domain and range, they talk about 'all real x and y', etc, etc, but they don't actually talk about the notation I've seen people use. Do I need to know this notation to answer...

    are my hsc subjects solid?

    Wouldn't have a clue but I can't see that as being likely. There's a big dif between 1 and 2's scaling

    are my hsc subjects solid?

    Firstly, as you probably know, you can do awesome in any subjects if you get good enough marks. Secondly, I don't know about jap continuers, , but music 2 scales awesome, i believe...chem obv does, adv eng + 4u maths = win

    modern or eco

    I see a contradiction here. Can you? to do well in modern basically memorise a bunch of dates, some historians' quotes and be very good at essay writing. Eco = more skills...gotta be good at essays but also more structural and scientific thinking.

    UAI estimates for 2009

    I've read that during recessions school retention rates are higher...Could this impact? o.O

    UAI estimate pl0x

    Yeah, thanks to all you guys...This term I'm really trying to focus on maths more weakest subject now

    modern or eco

    Whichever one you're worse at. Stop worrying about scaling, and if you hate them both the same, then just pick the one you're better at. Eco scales slightly better, but that means nothing if you don't get a good mark...Also, there's not a huge difference between the scaling of modern and eco anyway.

    UAI estimate pl0x

    Why? school rank reflects the percentage of people who get b6s I got 2008: 9.8 % b6s, = 65/663 exams I suppose

    Are there English Advanced students who do not enjoy English?

    tbh I don't mind eng advanced...If you do independent research it gets interesting, though I might just like it cos I'm good at it. Am I alone?

    Is "Engineering Studies" Scaled up or down?

    do you mean social science? I wasn't aware economics was a humanity. Go to UAC and look at the tables? they've been linked up everywhere here now
