    the importance of ranking for external exams

    hey guys! recently my teacher was explaining to us that if you're ranked number 1 for your internals your hsc exam performance doesn't really matter because you will end up getting whatever the highest mark achieved was, even if it was by another student. but wouldn't this be very unfair for...

    What happens if an average student scores near 100 on externals.

    What happens if an average student ranked around middle of their cohort, in an average school scores 100 on their externals test. Would it boost their atar by an insane amount since externals is still 50% of their HSC.

    Hi all, I'm sitting my physics HSC this year and I'm curious as to whether anyone familiar with the physics HSC since the most recent curriculum change has any idea as to which modules, concepts, topics, etc. are frequently included in the HSC, if any. I understand that it is up to NESA at the...

    Are you allowed to sign your major work paintings?

    Like, I’ve heard that you aren’t allowed to reveal your identity in your works since with your VAPD you have to cover your name and stuff so it’s not biased... but would just signing your initials in the painting or even the back be allowed? I want to do this since i do it for every other...

    English Extension HSC Question

    Hi guys. I just entered Year 12 and I am studying English Extension 1. Today I watched the Five Nights At Freddy’s movie and it honestly almost made me cry. I know it sounds silly, but when I was depressed (not that long ago) watching Markiplier play FNAF and obsessing over MattPatt’s theories...

    ^^ Context: I am doing relatively well in terms of rank rn at around the top 5 in a class of around 40 which would likely become around 20 in yr12. I am interested in law but I kinda dislike the english element of legal and apparently it's not that useful for law anyway Edit: By english...

    Is it possible to get an 80 atar in hsc, when performed badly in previous assesments?

    Gday, As the title says; ... By badly I am saying I have done probably above average but not by much in class until trials. My trials were absolutely horrendous - only getting above 50% in one subject (a 63% in mod. history). This is mostly due to me being sick for half of term 3 and missing...

    So I'm a year 12 student in sydney (and a first time forum poster, man this is weird) trying for psych / law next year. UNSW is good, but USYD looks pretty good too. I did the LAT last year (it's valid for 2 years, i think) and got a mark of 97, which is good i think. As for my ATAR, I'll...
