thanks for clarifying guys

Really? I was under the impression that state ranks were awarded on the basis of external marks only. Someone who ranked equal 3rd (I think) in my grade topped the state for adv eng, she got 99 externally and I got 98 externally (so our overall HSC mark would be the same?). Meh, guess I'll...

I'm stressing out because there's not a lot of info on this, but is 98 external close to being a state rank for English Advanced? Kinda scared now. D:

MSN k thanks, my estimates will turn up to be too high then.

hey, does anyone know whether the UAC takes into account your HSC mark overall or your raw marks when it determines your ATAR? Like say for physics I got 90 externally and 91 internally, so my overall HSC mark is 91, does the UAC (when calculating my ATAR) just take the rounded 91 mark or does...

Grats you brainy bastard Happy with 99.8 myself, but I reckon I'll be lower.

I really don't think so, but I'm thankful that I'm gonna be getting an awesome internal mark. =D

WOW, nice job sharon and pasindu you beasts!!

I certainly hope so. I've mostly been studying in depth for only the first 3. I basically ignored/glanced over case study, CAD and stuff like globalisation, in anticipation that they'll ask what I think they'll ask. Let's see how it pays off. D:

Causes: - lower economic rate of growth - contractionary macroeconomic policies (aggregate demand fall) - the contraints on economic growth consstrain employment growth too - increase in labour participation rate increases unemployment in the short-term (Okun's Law) - increase in productivity...

Sorry to break the bubble, but I doubt they'd ask about macroeconomic policies for the extended response two years in a row. Environmental + Labour market Policies/MER/Structural change + case study + something from topic 1/2 (like protection, exchange rate, globalisation impacts etc). This...

Urgh, got my effects mixed up. I'm gonna bomb multiple choice at this rate. Thanks for clarifying.

The answer specified the value of the AUD in 2007, and not in 2008 like what you're saying.

Could someone suggest the optimal, recommended amount of diagrams per extended response? Don't want to overshoot it XD

Doing the HSC next week, but from what I've observed, it's best to memorise a whole range of statistics, gain a general understanding of the topics that are likely to be included in ext response, and then integrate both in your essays on the exam day. Cbf making a prac essay in other words, the...

Oh crap. Why can't the answer be (D)? The AUD depreciated against the USD from 2006, which would make exports more competitive, and the TWI appreciated from 2006, making imports more expensive? Unless we're comparing the changes of the AUD in 2007 to the 2005 year instead of 2006, wouldn't D be...

Hi all, just wondering, would markers look more favourably upon an essay with some diagrams to support the text or an essay that is purely text, but more in depth? Should I even bother incorporating diagrams into my essays, let's say for something like the Phillip's curve or business cycles with...

A reduction in protection would lead to a higher degree of free trade, with less artificial barriers and all. I'm assuming that when you refer to CAD, you mean Australia's CAD, so with that in mind, a reduction in protection would mean that the value of our exports would increased. This is...

Does anyone know why we have a series of recent trade surpluses? I would have thought what with all the drama occuring on the global economic stage that the demand for our mining and resources exports would diminish. So I'd like an explanation of what's causing our sustained trade surpluses, if...
