No...not trolling. It's just what I've heard, apparently they set the tests harder etc etc so to compensate Ds = HDs.
But by all means don't take my word for it I'm just a hsc student reading BoS haha
International studies taken as the major of B. Arts at UTS lets you learn a language at the uni and eventually live in a overseas uni for 1 year. It probably does not add new fields for job prospects, but it would make you more employable due to the overseas experience and fluency in a language.
The better the whole school goes affects the cohorts assessment marks (which is based off your rank etc). Your HSC mark is an average between this assessment mark and your external exam mark.
so if one were to attempt to transfer into usyd/unsw commerce, what atar would you need? I'd imagine that the higher your WAM is then the atar requirement would decrease...right?
They have the subject bonus points- ones you get for doing well in certain subs, and EAS, which are counted separately. EAS points can also be applied to courses not covered by subject bonus points, like Law.
edit: subject bonuses have a cap of 5 iirc
Its recommended that we spend 35 mins on each essay in the hsc, so maybe....800? Most people will finish the other sections quicker so they have more time for the essays so obv more for them.
They usually have something that is topical for the essays, and remember that it was written sometime around April. My guess is something to do with the exchange rate or CAD/Fiscal policy
I don't know anything about Medstart, but Medentry was very good imo. They went through how to answer questions in the lecture, but the real value was the online resources. Tons of prac papers, guides and drills. But try get a group together to do it as its pricey (~$700-800 for a non group?)...
My trials aren't til next week, but can you guys give me some advice about the creatives for English? Should I prepare/memorise a story and try reproduce that in the exam, or should I instead spend my time doing small plans for many different stories? Cheers, and gl to everyone for english tomorrow
