    General Thoughts

    How do you think you went? I finished the exam within 2 hours and found it incredibly easy compared to previous papers, even the option topic was quite easy for me (Industrial Chemsitry). Thanks Board of Studies! :D

    Do assessment marks actually mean anything at all?

    Isn't your moderated assessment mark obtained by the performance of your rank in the actual HSC. You get that as your assessment mark? Then that is combined with your raw exam mark, correct? So really, if i get 99% in all assessment tasks but ranked 99/100 in my subjects, it really wouldn't...

    90 Atar at a low ranked school?

    If i was to rank say first in every subject, i would not be affected by my cohort, as i would pull them up myself? The marks would be based solely on myself. Currently 1st in SDD/IPT/IT and 3rd in Chem/Math/Adv English. The two people beating me in Chem/Math/Adv English are geniuses and have...

    Would it be a bad idea to use BOS notes as study notes?
