Nuts I didn't finish FF8 Remaster but on third disc... got distracted by Pokemon Shield and NFS Heat, and now Halo Reach on PC through Game Pass.
I think I have let myself accumulate too many games which I won't have time to play given I'm on full time parental leave now, and still barely play...
The rule of thumb (in my time) was you should've been able to get into B Business regardless. Conditional offer is what everyone gets subject to getting the final ATAR results because up until this point, they don't have anything reliable to gauge your academic performance relative to everyone...
I'd also add one thing though - whilst it's easy to blame subjectivity in the markers, the reality is that even in the HSC (and more broadly in life) there will always be subjectivity in assessments. Sure there may be a criteria for scoring and/or some best practice examples, but the reality is...
The way I see it is one of those options is a well trodden and clearly defined career path with clear expectations, progression path, a CA qualification (you'll need it in audit), and a well recognised brand for your CV. The alternative is an easier job with more money (like most commercial vs...
An interesting article on education standards which compare Oz with Singapore (and others) > https://www.smh.com.au/education/alarm-bells-australian-students-record-worst-result-in-global-tests-20191203-p53gie.html
The conditional offer is subject to meeting the ATAR requirements which aren't explicitly stated. As per page 7 of https://www.uts.edu.au/sites/default/files/2019-02/uts-business-accounting-course-guide.pdf :
Pretty sure they don't publicly disclose that as it's entirely at their discretion whether to accept someone.
Back when I was applying for these things (long long ago), the rule of thumb was you should be able to get into B Business. There's always been a couple of exceptions to this but as far...
I didn't even realise there was an economics dictionary... maybe the HSC has changed alot since I did it (hah i'm old), but I thought anything which was important enough to be defined would be in the textbook anyway, and the risk you run with internet definitions is they may differ from what...
Take that one step further and it becomes a matter of why the businesses sponsoring the co-op would want you. Work that out, and you'll know how you should approach this. (hint: doing a VET course whilst helpful, probably won't be enough AFAIK)
Keep in mind that whatever extracurricular activity you do whether it be sports, debating, chess, or whatever, it's not so much about the rank or result but rather what you learnt from the experience... or what it says about you as a person.
LOL probably. I remember in the last week of school (when I was a junior) I was assigned the task of collecting books back from year 12 students and ticking off names against the store room near the library... and they were pretty old books!
But then maybe the school got a lot more funding...
i always admired that about the students/teachers at my high school- even with limited funding for resources we still did reasonably well in the hsc. or at least my year did.
1. Don't get an iPad Pro if it's going to be your primary device. Definitely not what I'd be bringing to school either.
2. What laptops does your school suggest/support (if they have a requirement or preference?); or do you have a preference (or is it just Apple?)
I've owned multiple iPad Pros...
Wait, people bought text books in high school? We always got some crappy old ones from the school except in a few rare cases where the books were outdated each year (eg economics) and we had to buy our own... but our school helped negotiate a discount.
