Okay here's the deal. In Advanced Maths my final mark is 83/100, whereas the guy coming first is 83.2/100 making me second to him. How would this fare for the HSC, will my marks get dragged down since I'm not first internally?

Same, but my teacher said that's a good thing. I'm worried because I needed more editing time and don't think I went very well either, good luck :)

I'd never seen a question like that one before, I think it would have thrown a LOT of people.

Yeah that situation the OP described sucks and was pretty harsh for the school to do but I've had higher weightings for random tasks too (I'm sure almost all of us have). For example, my Ancient Trial was only worth 20% and some random in-class essay we were given the question for was worth the...

English Advanced- 76% (3rd)- Devastated :( I misunderstood the Module B question and didn't answer it properly so got 10/20 (by far my worst essay mark ever :/). Pity because I would have been sitting on 85%+. English Ext 1-68%- (1st) Satisfied considering our teacher is a very hard marker...

That can drastically changed based on the text type. I find for poetry (Module A) I tend to have the most, Hamlet probably comes next and then the novels I'm doing.

I found the Extension Maths one pretty hard considering I came reasonably close to failing it.

SO great to have one of our HSC subjects already done. How do people feel about their major works? Overall, I feel like mines ok but could have used more basic editing time since I left major changes too late but my Reflection is good. How do you guys think you'll go?

Hi-5! That makes two of us!

This is the question: How does the structure of The Fiftieth Gate represent a thesis about the relationships between documented history and personal memory? Has your study of other representations of history and memory supported this thesis? Explain your point of view by referring closely to...

My maths teacher has taken 3 months for 8 kids. What is it with maths teachers? What makes it worse is the General kids usually get theirs back a day after.

You can. I've talked to multiple teachers saying that you can do whatever option you want. Apparently a couple of people do it every year!

Those are awesome results, congrats! You absolutely destroyed Modern!

That's really slack for him to do. I really doubt he'd change it back and it wouldn't really have an effect on your internal marks/ranking. However, it might be beneficial to at least ask why!

We did our topics in a weird order so we're actually doing the personality study of Akhenaten now. We did the Augustan Age (Section IV) earlier on in the year. Honestly I'm thinking of changing to Hatsheput because it's so hard to find any info :/ Are you thinking of changing your option?

I'm honestly considering doing this for Ancient :/

From my experience, when people say things like that they usually do much worse than they expected. I know personally, a girl who's very good at Legal said the Legal trials were so easy and she finished with so much extra time and I found it difficult. I was in the same boat as you, thinking I'd...

I did those exact two things in both my english papers. It won't likely make a huge difference as you said so fingers crossed!

Got 3 results back today: Ancient History: 95% (might be bumped up to 97%) CAFS: 95% Legal: 93% So stoked about those. They were the only ones I wanted back though. Really don't want my English papers back :/

I did a similar thing for my English Ext 1 trial yesterday. Just flipped through notes and re-wrote stuff and couple of times and thought I was going to forget everything. I think I did well though :)
