    Was the 2007 HSC exam easier than last years and most other years?

    i think that the massive spike in band 6s compared to other years and also the higher aggregates to UAIs suggests the year group was the best evfer - even despite the aligning comment. for me drama - easier eco - same english adv - easier (comprehension way harder) x 1 - same maths adv...

    English Advanced, Extension 1, Extension 2 Online Tutoring

    sure. Treat English like maths in the sense that Advanced is your basic building blocks, extension 1 is starting to get into "pure English" and Extension 2 is really out there. What I mean is - for people who do Extension 2 particularly - they overanalyse the requirements of English Advanced...

    'Law school applicants compete for fewer places'

    Season your an idiot - you seem to know about medicine career route and absolutely nothing else (although you imply knowledge as to the pressure, statistics and nature of a law degree). Firstly, if you manage to pass the scrupulous tests for medicine and find out you suddenly don't like it...

    English Advanced, Extension 1, Extension 2 Online Tutoring

    Hey, my name is Dave and I just finished the HSC with a UAI of 99.65. More than anything else, I noticed that, because of scaling, English Advanced was the major discriminator at all ends of the spectrum - whether your aiming for a UAI of 70, 80 or 100 getting the edge in English is absolutely...

    yeh same here, 49 - internal was a 47. I reckon they shouldnt have internal for ext 2 - it tests nothing really, and unlike other subjects, u cant smash ext 2 with good exam techers and cramming. i got 99.65 which was just enough for usyd law combined so yeh, i was happy too.
