If you haven't been rejected yet, it means u have been shortlisted for usyd scholarship based solely on your personal statement. Your UAI is now being considered as part of the selection criteria. If you have are successful u should know by early january. If you got rejected, they send...

Lol, the SMH just admitted that they DIDNT take into account school size in their table of top 50 schools. It was actually just the total no. of credits. Check the correction on the following page...

Not really. It did say on the bottom of the herald list that they did take school size into account.

Yep of course both papers used percentages. but herald divided no. of DA over no. of students in the school (i think) to get percentage, while telegraph divided no. of DA over the number of attempts. eg. maths ext1 and maths ext 2 will be considered two attempts, while being done by only one...

If you read the bottom of the schools list in the SMH, it says that ' the herald analysis ranks schools according to the percentage of students who scored 90 or above in at least one subject, taking into acount the SCHOOL's SIZE. These schools had a minimum of 20 students .....' So i guess...

There is no way ANYONE will get a raw mark upwards of 95 in the Science subjects. hsc markers just dont let that happen. If there is a clump of students up the top range, then the hsc markers will manipulate their marking criteria to discriminate between the really good and only just the good...

HSC alignment of marks: for all subjects Say your school has a cohort of 5 students sitting the 2006 HSC physics paper. These students are A, B, C, D, and E. In the school's internal assessment the following ranks were issued: (hypothetically) 1. C 2. D 3. A 4. E 5. B In the...

There should be a chemistry standards package available in your school library, or your science faculty. The standards package shows responses written by HSC candidates in chemistry to past HSC exams. These responses are grouped by their quality ie. band 5/6, band 3/4 and band 1/2.

Note: most of the questions here are out of the syllabus 1. a) Add equations one and two yields 2H2O2 +I +IO --> 2H2O + IO + I + O2 Cancelling out the I and IO on both sides lead to the net equation 2H2O2 --> 2H2O + O2 b) The student should observe the release of...

First step in exams, write the equation HCL + NaOH --> NaCl + H2O (we are assuming HCL of UNKNOWN CONCENTRATION is reacting with the NaOH of CONCENTRATION 0.1M in this reaction) Pipette 25 mL of HCL into the conical flask Add 50mL of NaOH to the burette. REMEMBER: rinse all equipment...

Na2CO3 was the standard we used at school. Appropriate standard solutions should be made with substances that are not affected by moisture in the air, so mass is always constant. Also, substances that have a high molecular mass are also appropriate for making standard solutions.

1. Weigh out a certain amount of Na2CO3 (let's say 4 grams) in watchglass 2. If you're really pedantic, heat it in oven and cool it in a dessicator, and reweigh. 3. Transfer Na2CO3 into beaker, and add some deionised water to dissolve it. 4. Transfer solution into a 250mL volumetric flask 5...

HSC markers that year accepted both B and D as correct, the first time they did so.
