    Northshore- Economics tuition - BoS Resources being plagurised..?

    Re: Northshore- Economics tuition That's really horrible. If I were in your situation - I'd definately sue them! There must be some law relating to it. Hey, it would be worth a shot. :)

    legal studies

    Great Exam overall. Loved the questions for consumer and family got onto a second booklet for each one (and my writing is about 6-8 words per line too). Crime was quite reasonable also....especially name the elements of a crime!!!! Multi Choice typical Legal Studies could be better, but ofcourse...

    Multiple Choice

    5 imo D - civil system originates from Roman Law and there was codification of law on Roman times etc. So that's my argument 9 imo D - basically young people are entitled to legal aid, while a means test is only a means test and does not mean jurisdiction test, merit test etc 11 imo A -...

    Japanese Extension

    Does anyone know how Japanese Extension aligns? Like what raw mark do you usually need to get a Band E4. I asumme that because it's extension and it scales well by UAC must mean Jap Ext should align decently?

    Japanese Extension

    I think the whole exam had the intention of being confusing. Renet focus was for environment as part of the Waseda Barrier Free Community Campaign. I *think* RENET was the mailing system (whole idea one-step further etc) of the whole campaign. I'm now very confused....hofhleioaghrihvasd87qgytrs

    Japanese Extension

    Umm guys....Mr Kitani wasn't a made up character, He was one of the people Oto worked with as well as Mr Yokouchi in the whole barrier free campaign at Waseda University in the lead up to the Eco Summer Festival. More specifically, Kitani-san was the head of the Local Sanitation department. I...

    What is the Band 6 cut-off

    Japanese Extension

    I found the whole exam a bit confusing...but doable. For shiteiseki basically went from the point how its metaphoric etc. and basically how Oto wanted to find acceptance within the new Junior High School environment as he was nervous about entering a new environment especially as he was disabled...

    What is the Band 6 cut-off

    Well, I'd assume some freak would have got 120/120 for Maths.....there are a couple of Maths people out there who would!! Assuming that you said 85/120 would go to a 90, I'd say based on last year a 100/120 would go to about 94ish?

    What is the Band 6 cut-off

    Was that 85/100 or 85/120??

    What questions did you get wrong?

    I agree. I think what I've found anyways is that an Ext student usually overstate what they got while Advanced students are more conservative. Just an observation from the past 2 years. I agree with your cut offs. I have also heard that Question 10 is usually aimed at top Extension students...

    What is the Band 6 cut-off

    The process of aligning is different to the process of scaling. A course can align quite well without scaling well (scaling is done by UAC not BOS). I read somewhere that in 2001, an 80% went to a 90%. At my school in the trials (which I would say slightly easier/slightly harder than HSC -...

    General Thoughts - Mathematics

    HATED IT!!! I got 108/120 for my trials, which was supposedly very hard and ranked 2nd...and then I had to stuff up the test that counted the most!!! Every time I think about the paper, I think I lost more marks...so don't want to think about it anymore. No more Maths! Yay!!!

    HSC Speaking Examination

    I eventually got it down to within the time limits. In the HSC if I remember correctly, I ended up speaking for about 3 minutes each. I guess I'll see how I go when results come out.....

    Japanese Continuers

    Agreed. Looks like BOS went easy this year following all the complaints last year e.g. simple reply letter as opposed to a complaint letter.

    General Thoughts - English Adv Paper 2

    My english teacher was kind of the opposite. She was like if they say "at least (insert number here)" try and do an extra one but not at the expense of depth. I just did two because of my essay flow and I worked on the 50/25/25 philosophy as reccomended (50 prescribed which was A+C and 25 each...

    General Thoughts - English Adv Paper 2

    I thought it was a reasonable paper. Was surprised that it was all essays and that you only needed one related for Powerplay (I still used two otherwise my argument wouldn't have made sense), when in years past it has always been "atleast two". Here's hoping for a Band 6 but English can be...

    Japanese in the Future

    Plan on using it hopefully within a Double Commerce/Law degree. I think Sydney Uni has a major something like Japanese Business, which could combine passion for Japanese and Business together ^.^. Also want to learn Chinese too....but looks hard!! But yeah since I like Japanese, might as well...
