does cssa make different trial papers for different schools? like in the same year do they make different papaers for different schools or is it the same?

it's one paper across all schools that purchase the paper which is why there is a security period in place

the only reason the paper would differ is if a school hasn't covered a module/certain content and replaces some questions

the cssa papers u see on studocu are usually in their original form if they come with the answers (in yellow)

would anyone be interested in me uploading my religion 2 unit notes (aka: anyone need some notes)?


Christianity: paul of tarsus + baptism + bioethics
Islam: hajj + rabi'a al adawyyia + environmental ethics
Buddhism: temple puja + dalai lama + environmental ethics
religion and peace: Christianity + (later Islam)
religion and non religion
religion in Australia post 1945


they are also gorgeous and my pride and joy

 

[rubypinky:)]

imo, this is the most accurate i've come across, especially since it calculates based off of raw marks, credits to the creator @carrotsss

this calc estimated my hsc mark correctly

how does it calcualte your hsc mark when you haven't sat the hsc yet?

its based off trial marks. trials marks wont be the same as hsc marks, but theyre similar

It's not necessarily Trial Marks, it can also be Raw Marks from anything - your final total at school, the average of papers you complete after Trials, etc.

For most, change in performance is usually seen in the period from after Trials until the HSC so people will most likely sit either paper at home after learning from their mistakes. It's important to keep in mind that Trials are also designed to be harder than the HSC so most will likely perform better in the HSC.

Since I accelerated Mathematics Advanced, when I reviewed the solutions after my exam (on the same day) I calculated my approximate Raw Mark, put it into the calculator that I linked earlier and was given an estimate of the aligned mark I would receive. To my luck, it was correct and it was the mark I received on Results Day.

All in all, ATAR calculators aren't the most reliable, especially since alignment changes from year to year and they are rarely updated to reflect this.

idk but it estimated ur hsc mark correctly cuz 2022 and 2023 advanced had the exact same b6 cutoff conveniently
it's correct for 2022 but the alignment can change a lot depending on how hard the exams are (coincidentally the same for 2u)

yes please



i accelerated hsc mathematics advanced

islam and christianity are up, the rest will be going up over the week as I make them look pretty like these ones lol

 

[thelittlepotatofrog]

why is studying so boring istg

send help fr

Genuinely curious, why do people feel the need to make notes pretty its such a huge waste of time

yeah but its fun

 

[thelittlepotatofrog]

but also, take a look at my islam/christianity notes, if I didn't make them look nice, it would be really hard to use them as they would be blocks of text. so I make them nice more for a practicality sense

also it doesn't take me very much time to make them look the way they do, maybe 20-30 mins per set of notes

 

[thelittlepotatofrog]

I totally agree tho if its handwritten or excessive but for practicality sense it makes sense

For me I find it actually motivates me to do notes in a weird way lol. I get happy when I look at my notes and they're neat and colourful and cute, so it makes me want to write more and actually enjoy the process yk

If your notes are blocks of text though, clearly you're not summarising content, you're memorising big chunks of textbook/source work which could easily just be identified through the textbook/source you used.

 

[Average Boreduser]

Whilst it may be more 'fun', it does not directly correlate to you grasping that content and identifying gaps?

i think maybe what they mean is that if they didnt format the notes, it would appear as a block of text. for example i leave a line gap between dotpoints/sentences when i write notes because it makes it easier for me to read, if not it would be a chunk of text which i may struggle a bit more w

Yes! ^^^

 

[spiderfan44]

Nah I don’t mean like that, I mean it would just be 32 pages of plain boring dot points

Makes it harder to learn from if u can’t read if yk?

yea i agree with this. ill format my stuff and add visual indicators such as highlighting, color coding and symbols and such so i can distinguish information a bit better. im assuming frog isnt just drawing pretty stuff, and is instead more of just organizing information through visual means

 

[thelittlepotatofrog]

Exactly!

Also I don’t know where the og reply to that went lmao
