Hahaha yeah I did skip quite a few physics lectures (how did you know lol), and didn't do much external studying either, except right before mid sem cos I freaked out when I learnt it was worth 20%. Didn't have time to study for finals cos Higher Chem 1A was worth 60%, I still think it was the...

@Timothy Siu: We were in the same Calculus tutorial? (I never knew that) I quite liked Wolfgang Schieff. Calculus was harder because I didn't commit the rigorous theorems to memory, whereas Algebra was all applied, new and more interesting overall. Peter Brown is a wicked algebra lecturer. I...

Really? I just had a friend in my year miss out on Optometry '10; she got an ATAR of 97 and an '09 umat score of 160 i believe... I think they said the cut off was 98.xx in '10 at the welcome too.

Hahaha absolutely charming. But you did exceptionally! :p

Very decent exam. I do Module B. :D

You never know! Do what you think will get you where you want to be in future, and enjoy the journey there, to infinity and beyond. :)

Staying alive.

We should think so, after all, the bands aren't based on a ranking cut off but personal achievement. I'm talking aligned marks though, the ATAR is a rank.

Thanks! It's all good sunshine, it'll be worth next year!

Haha, I hope so, after all, the board doesn't issue half marks. It's correct anyway.

Yes, this article did little more than cite well known persons from the arts, science etc. and portrayed them as a collective representation of a religion and its adherents. The most annoying argument is that secularism has been exalted as a religion in itself, rather than the absence of, and...

At any rate, if there should be a deviation from what you anticipate in terms of aligned marks etc, perhaps contact the board. From what I understand, they keep the exam papers for a while, and after that, if there aren't any "complaints" then the papers are burnt/shredded.
