I went to a 600s school and got an atar of 91.25, anything is possible

Eng Adv: 86 Bio: 86 Chem: 84 Geography: 85 PDHPE: 89 Atar estimate: DUX COLLEGE- 90.5 Matrix 90.15 Einstein: 90.3 :D:D

Im looking at doing chemical engineering/business double degree. Here is the Newcastle course structure, and yes it does look like mainly maths, chemistry and physics. I also only did advanced but to compensate have started working on the maths course in my gap year...

No subject ever (according the the raw marks database 2.0) has ever had a raw mark above mid eighties for a B6, somewhat doubt this year it would be 92

83

5 marker= about 1.5-2 A4 pages

I hope they dont specify, Ive got three done in detail. They have never specified a poem, mind you if speeches last year is anything to go by. What poems are you doing ?

paper 1 is 3 x 15 marks and paper 2 is 3 x 20 marks for the weightings in both papers

With those I would say probably q26 would be a 6-7, the content is all good. Just need to be more specific related to the reliability, validity, postives negatives sorta thing. They are looking for that specifically. For 27 I would say 7-8, more towards the 8 because the content is all addressed...

That question too is done well but also use the headings method. Assess means positives/negatives/judgement based around validity, accuracy and reliability. So set it out in that way. Just begin with Pros: Koch' postulates were used .... Negs: Was qualatative analysis of bacteria with no values...

By the way what is the question for Q26, it just has writing ?

q27 is done well but to make marking easier set it out under headings eg: Meiosis....... Effect of environment on phenotype..... (Insert example). The content is good, make it logical and cohesive will make the markers job easier and get to the 8 marks. Biology does not need to be set out like...

English Advanced 90 Biology 92 Chemistry 90 Geography 90 PDHPE 95 Atar hopefully around 94

You should talk about your prescribed text first just by convention our teacher said. You dont lose marks but it gives a lesser impression when they look at your work. And yes you must give equal weighting to both

As far as I know they do not like students using set texts for ORT's as it shows that you cannot choose an adequate text by yourself, but im not totally sure, thats just what our teacher said
