I would prepare for stats. It wasn't just last year, the new syllabus has an emphasis on stats all the way till 2020. There's been a trend, and I wouldn't be surprised if theres a lot of stats questions this year too. Stats are easy - when I did my hsc though, we didnt expect it so noone was...

Hahahaha probably like three people who've done it. Looks like NESA is looking towards a more modern approach? No classical music this year.

I love short answer in mod c hahahaha i did tempest hagseed and talked about the meta-analysis which occureenin atwoods text in respect to the social context and other stuff. looked challenging at first but was quite straight forward.

I'd recommend dropping PDHPE. As far as I know, PDHPE is a far less scaling subject than Economics, and as someone who does a 'low-scaling' subject, the effort I had to put in to get excellent marks completely destroyed my love for music. Economics is a great subject, and one that I wished I had...

yup, good possibility. if they do, likely to be hollow or magi; perhaps preludes since students neglect that as his easiest and least substantial poem (it truly is, his worst poem out of the bunch. but, oh well). be prepared for various questions aligning to the excerpt, including: referring to...

Take one of the positions of your discursive and having a commanding tone. Also, don't stress, because I really, HIGHLY doubt they will go persuasive only.

Definetely not just you. My proportions are weird so it makes my uniform an absolute pain to wear when sitting down... I dont know why some of the individuals here ridiculed you for wanting to wear casual. It seems dumb that kids have to wear uniform for their exams... you graduate, do all...

In my experience, year 11 and year 12 were far different for me. I didn't focus too hard in year 11 as I knew it was my last year I could have some proper fun, and I definetely wasn't aiming or even projecting for a 99+. I think that the HSC and getting a great ATAR comes down to two things: 1...

yeah, for everyone worrying so much about 'form'; your analysis most likely covers that anyways. the question was very, very broad, and paper 1 is quite forgiving. I honestly think paper 2 won't be too bad, and were all panicing too much. Let's all just wait till tomorrow! NESA let us off the...

yep, exactly what i'm doing. have done so many papers that there is a distinct structure to my essays, but i haven't rote memorised anything. so many different structures for mod b depending on the emphasis of the question.

I personally think hollow men is the most obscure; but I guess that's entirely subjective. It seems that usually if a text is prescribed, it's his later ones (Hollow or Magi), because those are the ones student's neglect the most (atleast that's what I've experienced in the trials I've done). I...

i wouldn't say so... why do memorised essays immediately have substance? people across the whole academic range in english memorise essays... strange.

that's not too much. if you go in with an essay memorised or even half-memorised, and you have fast writing, you can write 1200+. now, a lot of the students who would write 1200+ dont write anything of substance though.

yep. i set myseklf too much to for english... now my wrists just hurt, and i regret my entire life.

Hello, Just wondering if any bos'ers who do or have done music 1/2 could provide some general tips/structural tips for the aural exam this thursday. I did pretty good in the trials; but want to elevate my mark to cover for any hiccups I may have encountered in my performance exam. Thank you!

probs, almost definetely, actually. marking at almost any internal exam is usually harsher. atleast thats what most my teachers say. while internal exams will have certain levels of bias, and frustation of hours of unpaid labour, markers get paid for the marking they do after their full time...

I would agree with EBU that it is indeed hyperbole. However, if it fit your argument, I believe that it could also be a biblical allusion to Jesus' miracle of Decapolis - where he heals a deaf mute.

I think Mod A this year might be easier - so general question, and then Module B will be a text-specific question about how it portrays the certain motif of the author you're studying.

Ditto with what EBU said. But further to this - if you aren't the strongest at English (which lots, and lots of students aren't), treat English like it's Maths. The only difference between English and Maths, is that English is an absolute pain to study for and essays feel like the biggest waste...

Mechanics again? Maybe roots of unity with quadratic/cubic/quartic formulas. Whaddaya guys think?
