    General thoughts: Software Design and Development Exam

    Same. I know I've lost a mark or two due to silly mistake, but should be set for the rest.

    2016ers Chit-Chat Thread

    I'm fine going to sleep. 9:00PM the night before the exam. But then, without exception, I wake up at 1:30AM and take ages to fall back asleep. I'm not even consciously stressed or anything.

    General thoughts: Software Design and Development Exam

    I doubt it. I did pen too. The paper says to use pencil, but I believe it's mainly so they don't get massive scribbled-out parts when someone might make a mistake and try to fix it but end up making it illegible, etc. Also, I've never seen "pencil" in a marking criteria. I don't even think you...

    General thoughts: Software Design and Development Exam

    I think I wrote "Open [...] for input" (from Visual Basic, but should still clear enough for pseudo) (I'm 90% sure I didn't write output instead of input lol) I did that question last iirc. Also, almost forgot to add that the length of the body would need to be in the header, until last few...

    Mathematics Extension 2 - 2016 Post-HSC Exam Thoughts

    If I can get 20 partial marks, I'm set.

    Section 2 - Creative Writing

    We actually got an exam early in the year asking about "how place affects the process of discovery". I used the smoggy picture of crowd of seats about a tree, to write about a character recalling their country becoming filled with factories and pollution, and their personal loss of cultural...

    Whats the usual E3 & E4 cut off?

    e4 cutoff seems to be raw mark of 70%

    2016ers Chit-Chat Thread

    Of course I will try to remember to do it, but will giving an answer with a non-factorised surd lose marks? eg. sqrt(12) instead of 2*sqrt(3)

    Wrong student number

    I hope you wrote in my student number. I reckon they'd notice both the missing page of yours and the double up of whoever's number you put (who might not even be enrolled, mind you). It would seem obvious.

    Mathematics Extension 2 - 2016 Post-HSC Exam Thoughts

    looking at rawmarks.info, it tends to be around 70.

    General thoughts: Software Design and Development Exam

    I just wrote the commands "Open FoodData", "Read next line". Should be enough for psuedocode. Hopefully accessing each character in the line like an array is valid (ie. "IF line(letter) = 'a', do thing"). Was Programming Paradigms alright?

    Mathematics Extension 2 - 2016 Post-HSC Exam Thoughts

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA raw mark of 45-50, assuming a couple of marks for incomplete answers and no silly mistakes (>implying) hope that can grasp me a high 70's mark. EDIT: checked carrotstick's solutions; make that a 40-45 raw

    2016ers Chit-Chat Thread

    EDIT: found this BOSTES link, slightly reassuring :) Re: writing outside lines. I have written a few answers that went beyond the lines due to having to rewrite a sentence or two (I had already ran out of extra writing space). It is obvious that they did go beyond the lines, and they are...

    General thoughts: Software Design and Development Exam

    I may have screwed up the "What factors affect if an array should be sorted, and which search type should be used?", just due to clarity, and at the end I started going off topic and talking about sequential and random files lol Also, many of my answers went outside the lines, but within the ⌞...

    General thoughts: English Advanced Modules Paper 2

    was each booklet 4 pages? I know I used 2/2/3, so probably 6 pages each except mod C with 9. I write about 6/7 words per line

    General Thoughts: English Paper 1 (AOS)

    We got a creative writing about how place affects discovery back in Semester 1. Fuck yeah.

    General thoughts: English Advanced Modules Paper 2

    Spent too long on Mod C, didn't get a conclusion out for Mod B. Much better than AoS though. I hope the Mod C marker likes my analysis of Wag The Dog and Zootopia. edit: also I probably used a Mod B quote or two that don't really exist.

    Excessive ATAR: Useless?

    Quick Facts: 1) Unless I mess up hard in trials or HSC exam, I am headed for an ATAR above 95. Probably in the range of 95-97 2) None of the courses I am interested in require above 92 (Guaranteed Entry) So, what can I do with these unnecessary expected ATAR points? Will they advantage me...

    Quick question: High internal rank and cohort, low external HSC mark

    Fair enough. I understand that failing the software exam would have a massive impact (I'm far above the pack in SDD and it's a small cohort, so my external mark there is most crucial) but I wasn't too sure about (for example) physics. Thanks for clearing that up for me!
