    Post your 2006 UAI here!

    SAM 98.5 UAI 98.8 From what i've heard, there were less band sixes in english this year than last. So my 89 mustn't have hurt my score as badly as i thought it would ^-^ I'm stoked. I needed 97... and i got it!!

    Maths Ext 1 - General thoughts on the exam

    i got the same answers for 1e and 3(c)i... if you're confident enough to expect that kind of mark then you're probably right.

    Comparison to previous years?

    I found it much easier than our school's trial, but that's only because it suited my preparation. Question seven and eight were definitely hard, but that was to be expected. Question one was a breeze, two was okay (except for part (d), i dont think i got full marks here), question three was...

    What marks do you expect/want to get?

    How was your hand?

    I'd been writing all weekend.. on sunday i discovered that by putting bandaids on my fingers made me write faster, so i did that in the exam... with cotton wool padding :P Comfort XD But half way through the exam i found that my fingers were starting to get sweaty so i pulled them off... and...

As long as you had an argument which related to the rubric and supported it with evidence, quotes and techniques it should've been fine. I found this module far easier than B. my texts: fronline (focussing on the siege & smaller...

    Section 2

    Ok. The entire exam was very obscure, much harder than my trial. After the horrors of section one, i stared down at this question with an utter sense of bewilderment. I'd prepared a totally kickass 15/15 respone (thats what it got in the trial anyway). And here was this totally restricting quote...

    General Thoughts: English Paper 1 2006

    Section one was... pretty terrible - way harder than my trial or any other practice paper i'd ever attempted, out of about ten trials, practice papers, and past hsc's. I managed to write about 5 pages, much more than what i managed in my school's trial. I was totally freaked out after that...

    raw --> moderated marks

    hey guys.. my first post hehe do you know where i can find some info on what raw marks end up scaling to in terms of moderated marks? I mean if you get a mark of say... 80/100 in the physics paper, what'll that get you as a moderated HSC mark? I guess it depends on the paper and the other...
