    General Thoughts: Engineering Studies

    That's right.

    General Thoughts: Engineering Studies

    Read up on HSC alignment. Basically, the Board of Studies sit down and decide what mark... Ah, fuck it. There's a good explanation here. http://www.duxcollege.com.au/hsc-marks-alignment-process-i-52.html You're thinking of how Engineering Studies scales in terms of ATAR. Basically, if you get...

    General Thoughts: Engineering Studies

    This year's consensus amongst BOS, Facebook and my cohort seems to be that it was a pretty hard test compared to previous years. I would say that a band five might be somewhere in the early to mid sixties?

    Estimate your own ATAR

    Based off of what I think I got in Engineering today, my estimations have risen into the late 80's. If I can manage a band 6 result in Physics next week, I can potentially end up with a early 90's. As somebody that only requires an ATAR of ~72, I am actually pretty content. =P

    General Thoughts: Engineering Studies

    Your arrogance is astounding. Yeah, that definitely seems to ring a bell. I'm glad that I seem to be making a massive improvement over my trial results in terms of mechanics, haha. In the trial, I think that I ended up with something ridiculous like 4/27 marks for mechanics. I thought that...

    What are you going to do the moment you finish your HSC ?

    I have a little 50 mL bottle of Johnnie Walker Black Label that I plan to remove from my school bag, pour into a scotch glass and shot like there is no tomorrow. Bring on Physics in ten days time!

    General Thoughts: Engineering Studies

    Yeah, that's right. Anyways, I ended up with a resultant force of 22 kN at 50-ish degrees, so hopefully the result ends up being satisfactory. =P Also, I ended up with 9 kN (8.9 rounded up) for CE, too. Compression or tension?

    General Thoughts: Engineering Studies

    Wouldn't that be due to the fact that when you take a moment from a roller, you only end up with the vertical forces?

    General Thoughts: Engineering Studies

    Hahaha, yeah, it was. I find it relieving that I wasn't the only one who raised an eye brow over that question.

    What HSC marks are you aiming for?

    Mathematics - 85 English (Standard) - 75 IPT - 95 Physics - 80 Engineering Studies - 85 The current ATAR cutoff for my course is only around 72, that being Engineering in Telecommunications at UoN. I would quite love to do the course at UNSW or USYD, which I am capable of doing, although I also...

    Exam

    I designed it entirely based off of the information given. That is, with a function for viewing, uploading and editing documents and a function for either starting a chat or starting a video conference with others that were part of the "contributors" list. Menus, checkboxes and buttons ahoy! It...

    General Thoughts: IPT

    I admit, I was very happy to have to write up that schema, haha. I felt as if I was back in comfortable territory.

    General Thoughts: IPT

    For processes, I wrote about how the Control Centre would need to be able to differentiate between the data and video feeds sent from each of the robots in order to usefully display the data as information. I also wrote that a faulty sensor on a robot may be displayed based upon GPS data being...

    General Thoughts: IPT

    I believe that I have bullshat my way to at least a late 80's. Multiple choice was very easy, even if I know for a fact now that I have stuffed two of them up. The core stuff was pretty easy, you just had to think about the question for a bit longer than the previous papers before providing a...

    Fanboys

    I don't really think that I can reply to the poll myself. I just can't stand fanboys altogether. A game is a game, I don't care about the platform it's been put on, as long as I can sit back and enjoy it, i'll play it. My Xbox 360 probably gets the most playtime, but there are some amazing...
