    No, but more than your garden variety school though! Seriously, from last year, Ruse, Grammar, Baulko? owned. You'll get this list soon when the BOS puts up the statistics. Of course on the whole there will be a whole gamut of schools; knnown, unknown, obscure represented. ETA: Anna! You...

    duly noted. Who knows, there's definitely a chance! You'll have to inform us when you check out the SMH list and you spot yourself, Dec 16/17 (or even 15th if it leaks haha). :uhhuh:

    lol, my case needs no fairness. Yours however, is in dire need of substantiating with evidence. look, I'm sorry to be facetious, however I simply HIGHLY doubt what you claim. It goes against everything I have been told and against the empirical evidence. The person i'm referring to is a BOS...

    nope. I'm not referring to Swain either. Jake, can you please provide some substantiation for what you claim? Because what I posted is common consensus and what I have always been told by my teacher - an ancient woman with decades of HSC (Adv, Extension 1 and Extension 2) marking experience.

    I truly doubt that Jake. I'll call up my english teacher (EE2 and Eng Adv HSC marker) to check. I agree with sikhman, I also know that person who last year got a state ranking in EE2 and dod fairly badly in Eng Adv.

    I don't know who told you that, but its blatantly false. Your result in 2U has nothing to do with your result in 4U English. Unlike 4U Maths, where 2/3U merges, and each of the extensions are taken as 2Units, English works quite differently. For 4 Units of english, you have: 1) English...

    G'luck Anna! What subjects were you looking for? Maybe you'll get a State Ranking too! 2/3/4 etc..

    Pretty hard to say with ANY certainty who gets EE2! Its the most unpredictable subject, and you have to remember even if someone gets 50/50 (and a fair few ppl do) it STILL doesn't guarantee a state ranking.

    Sorry guys (Namu, Michael?) I scanned both the cosmology and philosophy lists, but for Cosmology since I didn't know anyone, I didn't pay it much attention - probabably someone who was there could tell you? (Distinction forum perhaps?) As for Philosophy er...I've forgotten now - but it was...

    holy sh**t like tomorrow!?! ETA: oh and Jetblack - I just realised you were a Cosmologist, were you there at the dinner? Because results were kind of released on that night (raw, HSC marks and ranks)

    how significant are these early assessments?

    For myself, I found the opposite was true (bizarrely enough) But keep in mind that it also depends at what level you are performing at - be honest, are you (speaking to a general "you") performing at the top/middle/lower range? If you're among the very top: I would say early assessments DO...

    How can I make my holiday more productive?

    oh man... why on earth would you want to make your holidays more productive? Chillax, laze, kick back..do nothing. I mean we worked our butts off for the HSC, time for a life. :drink:

    USYD scholarships

    Yeah, if you check out the combined law degrees at USyd, there's alot of combinations, but half of them fall under the arts faculty even though they're not arts. Bah. (red courses under Arts faculty) Whereas commerce/engineering/IT/Science all have separate faculties.

    2010 Philosophy Distinction course

    Update: I may have seen the list of this years acceptances already. Interesting document, names and HSC marks for subjects. :) Maybe it was for the 2009 cohort, but I wouldn't think so given that they decided on us ages ago. ;)
