    ITT: We draw perfect circles.

    just saying, I honestly believe I managed to perfect this artform. The many free periods in class I would grab a whiteboard marker and draw circles on the whiteboard. The trick is standing parallel to the board and hold the the pen with a clenched fist (like a 2 year old). Then keep your arm...

    Maths 2U vs. Maths 3U

    Just so you know, what you say "fail 4u" you need to specify what you mean. If you mean getting <50% raw mark then many people fail 4 unit.

    Is it fine for teachers to reuse a hsc question but change the marking guidelines?

    Re: Is it fine for teachers to reuse a hsc question but change the marking guidelines I did this for one of my papers (fighting the mark), I may already be too late in saying this, but if you are going to appeal it, DO NOT TAKE YOUR EXAM HOME. Leave it with the teacher and you must lodge an...

    What rankings are required for 95+ in a rank 25 school?

    I'd say top half. I just missed out on 95 and I was not in the top half for any of my subjects and my school was ranked in the 40s.
