yeah, i looked at the scaling report, it sed that only 49% of the students that did a disntinction course used it in their UAI, and also if u dont get like top 25% then the scaling gets bad....so yeah it wont count if u dont come in the top
so basically u have to do well if u want the good scaling

Holy crap,

this forum I started one year ago got revived- LOL

Anyways, yeah, the marks are vague as there is no numerical mark (e.g. 95, 100, 85 etc) which pisses me off of what exactly my 'HD' really is.

Yeah, for future students I found Philosophy at times frustrating, in sense of feeling 'lost' without a teacher or some dot points. I did pawn the exam surprisingly through memorising 10/10 essays and practising to regurgutate them under practice exam conditions a crap load of times.

GL for yr 12s, I think 3rd res. clashes with trials.
