I think you might need to shift the focus of your PIP a little, as your current question might be a little difficult to answer. For example, cultural values may affect an individual's attitude towards education, but whether it's directly impacting the actual performance is a different matter...

The list for PIP award recipients can be found here: http://scansw.com.au/awards/awards_2013.html

The awards list for 2012 PIPs has now been released on the Society & Culture Association Website at http://scansw.com.au/sc_awards/sc_awards_2012.html.

They will be released sometime early 2013. A student from my school received one of the awards last year, and our teacher found out early on during the term. So I'd say it's late January/early February? The awards will also be published on the History Teachers' Association Website, at...

The subject marks you received yesterday combines both the Project and Exam marks. Teachers/schools have access to some analysis package of some sort (my teacher said she'll get the Society & Culture ones in February or something), and from there, they can figure out what mark you received for...

Re: This time in 2 days all who signed up for SMS will know their hsc results!! Feeli Nope, this definitely isn't true: Principals will be able to access results from 6am, at the same time we do; teachers see them after the Principal does. My teacher used to say she's just as nervous as we...

I don't think anyone really can really think that they state-ranked: your performances in the external exams are often so unpredictable! And probably apart from Ruse in Chem/Physics (even that is arguably tenuous, it does depend on the performance of their cohort, and those of other schools)...

First in course will be notified in the couple of days before Results, and attend a ceremony on the 18th. State Ranks are released on the 19th at noon, on the Board of Studies website. Those who state-rank aren't notified personally beforehand, it's just publicly released at that time: I know...

This topic sounds like it has the potential to lead you somewhere, but I'd still be trying to hone in and develop the topic a little more. I think one of the hallmarks of a great PIP is that it's very personal (it is called the Personal Interest Project, after all!), and that the markers will be...

I believe that a lot of this comes down to the individual teacher, or possibly, the influence of a school. I have teachers who I have friended on Facebook, but the teacher I was closest to throughout High School (she was a real mentor/role model to me) is strictly against adding her students on...

This is correct- I had the same situation with Extension History: my report stated I ranked equal 3rd, but BOS said I ranked 4th. I had a chat with my Head Teacher, and she said that when it came to decimal places, the other person on my tied rank just edged me out. It's also because the BOS...

Could anyone post up this year's Catholic Trial questions for USA and the Cold War?

Hmm, I'd be careful to generalize about all individuals who go to selective schools, and particular, North Sydney Girls. I know several girls who go to this school, and they really aren't "retarded bithces". That being said, I absolutely agree that the comments on those particular screenshots...

I don't think it's morally superior/inferior whether one memorises, or does not memorise, essays. For some people, memorising works; personally, I can't do it as I prefer writing essays on the spot, and I think I'd find it difficult to mould an essay if I had memorised it so closely for so long...

Does anyone else feel like there's just SO much content to learn for Crime especially? The 15marker concerns me because they could literally ask from anywhere in the syllabus- I used to be under the impression that it's more likely to be based on a T&C, but the Specimen Paper (from 2010) had...

If you have 12 or more units, probably just sacrifice Biology to make sure you do as well as possible in the other subjects. Although maybe do cram Bio in the couple of days preceding the exam- I'm planning on doing the same for Maths!

I'm think most subjects' papers are now scanned, read and marked on the computer now (although are done so in the marking centres, obviously). I can't be sure of whether this is done for all exams/papers, though I know this is at least the case for a few subjects.

Worst: Maths- or, since I've accepted it won't count in my ATAR, Extension English Best: Modern History or Society & Culture

Yeah, Modern's a hard one seeing as there is SO much content to get through, and questions could be on anything. I reckon you sound relatively prepared with most of the content, although i'd be putting more time into fixing up Conflict in Europe this week/early next week- the International Study...

Yep, I think so- that's my plan, at least! It seems illogical for markers to expect you to have sufficient time to address every dotpoint underneath each that particular section of the Crime syllabus; I think it'd be better to do fewer, with depth and analysis. Just pick the ones which have the...
