No worries, there might still be a chance that the difference may end up being slightly greater, although it could also remain the same, as was the case of the student ranked third in NESA’s example.

In principle, relative gaps between students’ moderated Assessment Marks will reflect the relative gaps between their school assessment marks (i.e. the marks that determine their ranks). As part of the moderation process, the highest Assessment Mark is adjusted to equal the highest Examination...

It is normal for a country's native language subject to be compulsory, especially at senior school level. Unlike systems in other countries, the HSC offers significant flexibility in terms of subject selection. Other systems may not only make the native language subject mandatory, but also other...

Generally speaking, since the combined weighting of an assessment plus a trial exam for a subject is likely to be significant, it would be reasonable to suggest that with favourable performance, a rank improvement such as this is possible. While it is essential, favourable performance is not the...

Neither university has a high ATAR/LSR requirement for the Bachelor of Nursing, with ACU's ATAR requirement ranging from 58.50 to 65 depending on campus, and UTS's LSR being 72. This is important because it can assist in determining the approximate year 11 grades that you would need to receive...

I recall you previously mentioned that you want to become an art teacher. As you are already aware, NESA requires you to study an accredited degree if you wish to teach in NSW, a list of which can be accessed here. To my knowledge, the specific university/institution is not a main factor. Based...

You can apply to transfer internally to either the Bachelor of Information Systems or the Bachelor of Commerce/Bachelor of Media once you have completed 36 UOC. Since UNSW operates on the basis of terms rather than semesters, this means that you can take 12 UOC each term. When you finish Term 3...

Please stop derailing the thread guys.

Generally speaking, assuming this was across your subjects, it should still be possible for you to comfortably attain (and perhaps exceed) an ATAR of 90. To maximise your chances of achieving this goal, you will need to do your utmost to ensure favourable performance across your subjects in your...

Ah, in that case I believe your course of action was appropriate. You should prioritise your health and recovery at this stage. Subsequently, you can focus on your next task for this subject as well as your other subjects.

Sorry to hear that. Please see below: 1. Yes, this school assessment task will count towards your HSC. Specifically, it will be used alongside the rest of your school assessment tasks/exams in the subject to determine your final rank in the subject, which will in turn be used in determining...

VET stands for Vocational Education and Training. A VET course is a program of study that allows people to gain workplace skills and technical knowledge, emphasising hands-on experience. This differs slightly from university degrees, which often have a more theoretical focus. Compared to...

I think that an important consideration in your particular case is your study interests beyond your HSC. While not all your subjects may be treated as assumed knowledge for university degrees, studying subjects relevant to the degree(s) that you are interested in could still be useful...

No, that is not possible. Only Mathematics Extension 2 can be taken in year 12 and that requires a student to have completed the Mathematics Extension 1 year 11 course and keep Mathematics Extension 1 in year 12 (i.e. a co-requisite).

Superannuation funds are not responsible for making superannuation contributions for employees. That is a legal requirement for employers, i.e. to pay an amount equal to the current rate of 11% (which may be mentioned as 9.5% in Business Studies textbooks) of an employee's salary. However, that...

Please create a thread in the Contact Moderators forum. Trebla can take it from there. :)

First, the performance of your peers is relevant in terms of determining whether your rank will be lower following your performance in your exam and if so, how much your rank will drop. 83% does not seem like a bad mark and your position may end up not being as bad as you think it will be...

Essentially, ensuring optimal internal performance (which helps to maximise your chances of achieving a high ATAR) would involve doing your utmost to place as high as possible within your cohort across your subjects. Your school is ranked fairly high. Generally speaking, a student does not need...

Due to being a low word limit, a 75-word response does not allow for many ideas to be introduced and discussed in detail. This is unlike 200-word responses, where the higher word count allows for greater diversity of ideas as well as greater depth. With that being said, responses to Section III...
