Don't drop your subject! I thought I was going to fail IPT and I didn't care about the exam as I have 6 subjects, so I walked into the IPT exam without any study and I think I did pretty well!
I went into the test without even one minute of study, as I was expecting IPT not to count towards my ATAR as I am better in all my other subjects... and I feel like I did really well regardless of this - Around 70-80%?
Feels bad man... I could've gotten a higher mark...
What happens with outliers? Apparently if you don't make a serious attempt they take away your HSC or something? I'm going to walk out of the IPT exam early (I got 6 subjects), but I'm afraid of this?
English Paper 1: 8
English Paper 2: 6
IPT: -3
Maths: 6
Biology: 3
Chemistry: 2
Software: 6
I plan to just ditch the IPT exam because I'm sure it's not going to count, but am I allowed to walk out? I've heard something about non-serious-attempts and how they can take away your HSC?
Yes! I feel quite annoyed at myself... because if I spent just an hour everyday on work it would've built up and made such a massive difference in the end.. Now I'm studying 12 hours a day in order to make up for it.
That actually did not help at all LOL
I mean, I don't get the concept of state rankers? Is it everyone who gets the top mark available for the specific test?
e.g. Top mark for physics is 98%, everyone who gets 98% is state rank, and anyone lower (eg, 97-) is not?
I'm trying to get into B Science (80) / Adv Science (95) at UNSW :D
If I were to miss out on these marks though, what should I do?
Should I go for a different degree at UNSW, or should I go for a lower-requirement Science at a different University and transfer into UNSW when I have the chance?
I'm kind of aiming for a good 95+ for Adv Science, but I'm highly doubting my ability to get that much.
I'm even stressed about getting 80+ for Bachelor of Science :|
The thing is, I don't really know what kind of effort is required to get these marks... I'm a relatively hard worker at a...
