Hi there, I was a 2011 HSC student - I also achieved a state ranking for my EX2 Critical Essay. Does anyone know if I am allowed to publish my essay on my online blog for friends to read, or if it would be considered BOS property, and therefore copyright? Thanks

Looks like I'll be undertaking Comb Law/Commerce at Macq unless I get a Late Offer.

Re: FAQ: Late Round Offers I got 94.30 and a Main Round Offer for Combined Law/Commerce at Macquarie. I am expecting UAC to send me a confirmation letter of which Universities will grant me bonus points (illness disadvantages). If I receive 4-5 bonus points, is there still a chance I can...

But can I actually do that? Can I change my preferences around for the Final Round without losing my Macquarie Offer?

Hey, I'm thrilled! I received my Main Round offer for Combined Law/Commerce at Macquarie University (first preference). The cutoff is again 95.90, and I got 94.30. I'm not sure what to do though. I handed in a late UAC Application which could possibly earn me a few bonus points. Firstly, is it...

Well, look. I'll have to contact BOS regardless, because if I don't, I don't want to think about what could have been if I didn't try. If they marked differently for Christianity, then I'd expect my Christianity mark to add up to what my actual mark is.

Well, I doubt it. It says: This Raw Marks Report lists the raw mark you were allocated for each questions in this examination and your raw examination mark. Meaning, it should calculate to the score down the bottom, which it doesnt.

Yes, I paid for a clerical check. But the raw marks report is wrong. It says I got 38, when it adds up to 39.5

Hey guys, I received my SOR raw marks. At the bottom of the PDF file, it says that my raw examination mark is 38/50. But I calculated all the numbers in the column and calculated 39.5/50. This means I can appeal right, and perhaps go up an extra 2 marks? :o

Wow! I've just started tutoring Eng Adv, Eng Ext 1 and Eng Ext 2, and I think $45 is ridiculously expensive. I'm charging $20/hr and in the space of one month, am tutoring six students.

Does anyone know for Sydney/UNSW/Macquarie University, what the ATAR cutoff to get into the courses would be for first, second and final round offers roughly? So Macquarie University cut off for B Commerce with B Laws is 95.90 this year. What would the second and final round offers have been?

Hey guys, Is there any magazine you know of whereby I could get my Critical Essay published? Cheers

What if the markers were biased?

When do we find out?
