Thanks Captain, that was so good info (without the scaling jargon used on this baord). The case you said about getting the internal/external number one rank - I'm in the same situation. It's not so much that I go to a bad school, it is more the fact that my legal class is full of wankers...

Just leave your msn here, I think that would be easy. Oh well, have mine - born_2reign@hotmail.com

Wings! What did i say about the scaling jargon (thanks for the info btw). I think I'll have a chat with my legal teacher and career advisor on this topic. But one last question. Im guessing: If my internal mark is 85% and my external 90% (with the bad scaling due to my class), I can't...

Brag all you want elle, with marks like that you have the right to. I'm doing the same topics as you, I have figured out that it is hard to incorporate case law for crime questions (well most of them any way). Thanks for the info though.

Why waste your time and do the HSC then?

Smoke till my hearts content Break my calculator against a wall Get together with mates Burn school tie (good idea) maybe even the shirtBut after the initial schock of finishing school, I'll probably go and get a job and make some money, try and get into uni and try and get married - sounds...

there is the worry that those at the bottom at the pile, considering that their marks are substantially lower than yours may bring you down in scaling marks That's what I'm worried about too. But if I'm ranked as number 1, am I immune to that scaling?

Here is a scenario for you abusef. * 19 people in legal * I'm ranked 1 and my mark (1/2 yearlies [it's all i got that is substantial]) is 86% * Last assessment 4 people passed, I got 100% and many poeple got around 25% - and this is what I think will happen in the HSC (except for me getting...

Well thanks for the info Wings, but I am going to avoid that link - words such as 'moderation, cohort, etc' give me headaches. Just one last question - does scaling even affect ppl that much? What's the rose that can happen? 2 UAI?

Well my rank is number 1. This mark gets "scaled" based on how well your school performs in the HSC exam Well the class average I would guess is about 50%, so if I get 80-85% in the HSc (coming first in both internal and external what would happen?), I remember a friend saying that rank 1...

Thank you for the reply, but for '3', what if I get something like 95% in the trials, 90% internal and get something like 80-85 in the HSC? WHich I think is the case for me. Also, is teachers giving studnets a 'hint' common practice in the trials? (In defence of my teacher, the class is...

1. The trials is supposed to be an accurate guideline of how you are going to go in the HSC exam? 2. The trials is seen as a separate internal mark compared to assessments? 3. Too avoid 'bad' scaling, one must go better in the HSC than in the trial/internal? I've asked those two question...

Food: just eat normally, I have noticed that I cook more (if marinating chicken and BBQing it counts), while studying, I don't really have any 'food', just drinks - mainly tea, water and sometimes juice Exercise: I hate the word. My mentor recommended that I excercise 1 hour a week (in PE we...

Question 3 relates more to something like 'if rank 1 is immune, why not 2, 3, 4 etc?' My friend who did the HSC 2 years ago said he was worried about the same thing, he also said that rank 1 and 2 are immune of 'bad' scaling (something like my legal scenario).

what's smoking got to do with anything? Fair point, but I guess it goes with the whole contradiction thing which in hindsight (and if you have seen my class - wannabe sport stars and protein bar eating 'bodybuidlers') it is funny. what brand? Peter Stuyvesant Classic 8mg Why do you feel...

Thanks for the heads up on the law reform bit. You seem to know your fair share on effectiveness essays so can you look at this form me: http://community.boredofstudies.org/24/legal-studies/117209/mark-my-essay.html

Coming first in Pe (since the start of yr 11) and smoke.

Is that just the HSC mark of is that both internal/external? Thanks, btw.

State ranking? What's that?

Thank you for answering, if you don't mind a few more questions (and if you can, can you please answer them is leymen's terms, I've been reading a lot on this board and have avoided it for a while - moderation, cohort, raw...I don't really like hearing those words) Rank 1 = total immunity...
