  1. does your school get your atar?

    They get your hsc marks so I suppose they could determine your atar, but uac doesn't tell your school
  2. 2020 Maths HSC Exams

    Is there any reason why extension 2 and advanced are now held in different sessions? Wouldn't this allow 4u students to sit the 2u paper?
  3. Are double degrees worth it?

    I'm sure this thread has been made before, but I'll ask again anyway... This specifically concerns engineering. How significantly does having two degrees affect employability and career progression? Is it better to pursue a masters degree instead?
  4. Diagnostic Test

    What, specifically, constitutes a 'diagnostic test' in module 8? Is it just precipitation reactions and flame tests or does AAS count as diagnostic, even though it's quantitative?
  5. Mistakes with trivial arithmetic

    Let's say in a 3 mark question I have a single line at the end in which I (incorrectly) write something like: k/2 = 1/3 k = 1/6 I know that mental arithmetic is critical to mathematics, but is this something that should cause me to lose a whole mark, in an exam that was done under considerable...
  6. Difficulty of the new syllabus

    I've heard from teachers at my school that the new syllabus is easier than the old syllabus. How will this affect alignment and scaling?
  7. George Orwell

    I am writing some contextual preamble for an assignment on texts and human experiences and I was wondering, how would you describe Orwell's zeitgeist. Of course, there are things like the soviet union and such, but what else was going on in the late 1940s that is pertinent to a discussion about...
  8. 1984 Notes

    Does anyone have notes on human experiences in 1984?
  9. Not attending HSC exam

    Is it possible that someone can not sit an HSC exam and be hardly impacted? A girl in my year didn't sit the bio exam on Monday (as my engo friends noticed her in maths) and she is ranked quite highly (~10/110 at a rank ~30 school). What happens in this situation? I've heard of people doing...
  10. Music 2 Elective Performance

    How does the structure of this assessment task actually work? I'm aware that you have to perform 2 pieces of no more than 10 minutes total (and I know about the topic requirements) but how does this work with playing movements from a larger work. I was planning on playing Mozart's K283 Sonata...
  11. Diagrams of Organic Molecules

    In the HSC exam, if a question requires a diagram of an organic molecule, what is the expected way of representing it? My teacher often draws diagrams using the condensed form whereas I find it is much easier to use bond-line form. The only real advantage I can see for bond-line, besides it...
  12. Absolute value question

    I got my final advanced paper (prelim) back recently and noticed that one of the only marks I lost was in the following question: Evaluate 2|−3|−3|−4| I answered 26, although the answer which was expected was -6. My question is, given that there was no way the nesting of the absolute values...
  13. (Music 2) Aural Exams

    My final preliminary exam for music 2 is in 2 days and I have a question regarding the exam. When the excerpt for one question is being played, am I allowed to answer parts of another question? For example, if I complete all of question 1 before the last playing has occurred, can I complete some...
