what's that "Benefactors group"~ ReNcH ~ said:
how do u join that "group" or make ur own lol
Same. Even though I'm not happy about my result and will probably miss out on maths SSP for semester one, I'd go to uni rather than another year of HSC.Slide Rule said:Why not? Because he's doing pure maths at USyd now. 'Sif he's going back to the HSC.

You can't make your own - that's for Lazarus and the admin to do.FinalFantasy said:
To join, you have to apply at User CP > Group Memberships > Benefactors > Join Group.

You got a better chance than I doTemplar said:
I'm one UAI below you, while my ext 2 mark is better it is still below the cutoff, and I've heard that they focus more on HSC/UAI than other stuff.withoutaface said:You got a better chance than I do
Oh well, we'll both stay in the advanced stream until hopefully our invitation in semester 2.

No. They don't create private clans/groups (or whatever you might like to call them). Lazarus only recently created a group for BoSers who have contributed to the BoS community effectively and who have helped others - it's basically to recognise these people.FinalFantasy said:

Casey John Hadmer, Scots College; no, he does not appear on the Top Achievers' List.~ ReNcH ~ said:
I am not repeating either 15250 or 15260, my disappointing results notwithstanding.
I don't know if I would do any better, to be honest.
Ohh, repeating Extension 1 ...? I did study hard for 15260, but not for 15250; Extension 2 does help your Extension 1 mark, however. I don't know if I repeated it I would achieve a higher mark. There isn't much margin of error and UAC only takes your last result.
Still, I can't see you getting a much lower mark than what you did after repeating the course.

I wish BOS changed the rules i.e. take the highest mark, and not the latest... nothing to lose - that'd be perfect. But I'll most probably keep my 95-97, since I did fudge a couple of marks in Q7 (but by the same token, there were about 3 or 4 marks that I should've got that I didn't - I can't do anything about it though...)Captain pi said:Casey John Hadmer, Scots College; no, he does not appear on the Top Achievers' List.

I'm 50/50 with the risk, but the guys at my school (not to mention my teacher) would think I was crazy to do it again...Slide Rule said:
I guess I could just train all of my focus onto ME2 and try to get 95-96 in that, which I'd be quite happy with.

Hehe.Slide Rule said:
True true
First I wanted to determine whether it was worth me doing it in the first place. However, once I decide to do a subject, whether it's SOR or ME2, I like to aim high + when I was asking for advice as to whether to do it or not, I was quite new to the subject. But having done Integration and some Conics during the hols, I now feel more confident esp. since a raw mark of 75/120 might get me a Band 6...
Btw. you might say I have a fickle mind at times

in our X2 class we have 5 year 12s, 3 year 11s, 1 year 9 (who is meant to be in year 7, but is accelerated 2 years for all his subjects, except for maths, where he is accelerated 5 years).FinalFantasy said:
yeah he is a freak. he has been doing all those maths comps for year 12 students for years and constantly gets HDs, as well as coming first in the state every year for his own division.
