    HSC band speculation:

    No, this wouldn't work. If everyone performed terribly - they would be compared to their cohorts. Then; after NESA realises this hypothetical cohort is complete dogshit; they will tank your internal marks; tank your external marks no matter what you get. I guess if you play the long-game of...

    2022 CSSA MATH EXT 2 Thoughts

    Couldn't get out 16 a) and b); besides that everything was fine... That's okay I guess. 16 c) for my school was replaced since we haven't finished mechanics. Definitely was way harder than last years - last year's question 16 was an absolute snore.

    Any thoughts on how the trial went so far??

    CSSA Ext 2 was okay. Couldn't get Question 16 out but i guess you expect that

    Random thought wud it be wise to write Ur thesis and then just start with the body paras, once all is done complete intro?

    Constantspy's brother's strategy seems fine - but your strategy kind of makes no sense. The rest of your intro is a good building block for the logical progression of your arguments - so it's good to flesh it out. Also, you want your INTRO to be the BEST PART of your essay; as it is the first...

    School ranking in relation to your ATAR

    No. Schools cannot skew your marks just because you decided to take accelerator. However - it is often the case for subjects such as... Maths Accelerated, for example; that the accelerator class comes first, second. etc.... If you want to have a visual representation - use HSCNinja and put in...

    physics vs eco vs legal

    Hey man, I do 4U Maths, PHYS, Music 1 (4 Performances), English Advanced; Legal studies is, realistically, boring. So is Economics. Economics is very based on your ability to understand and grasp current world news as well (as far as I understand the syllabus); so this may add on to your...

    Exam strategy for trials

    What's the meta strat for trials for the ext 2 exam? Obviously I know I'm not gonna be able to do a few fair questions in 15/16; but, finish all the questions I know to do and try to spam the hard ones until done/maximise the marks? Daunting tbh... Any CSSA Doers?

    kinda confused on the change of variable stuff

    I believe he might be referring to this. It's basically just a u-sub.

    Physics or Biology for prelim and hsc?

    The new physics syllabus is far harder; and has so much content. Year 11 physics is great, easy - Dynamics catches a lot of people off guard. Maths Standard will be a toughie for physics - but the Maths really isn't too hard. Algebraic manipulation and mathematical maturity MUST be good. Biology...

    Has anyone made a comeback after half yearlies to achieve their atar goal?

    sorry, I thought it was obvious I meant write "to" an essay question

    Has anyone made a comeback after half yearlies to achieve their atar goal?

    top tip for english treat it like maths. what do you do in maths? solve as many questions stop annotating your texts with a bunch of rainbow highlighters and 600000 colours when you aren't going to use any of it. get a few good quotes, analyse for like a day; then write a to ton of essay...

    Trials

    CSSA English Advanced was very nice. lots of 3 markers and 4 markers. The essay question was very open and easy. I'm shitting myself for tomorrow.

    Does anyone remember what the 2020 cssa common mod trial essay question was?

    It was Texts raise questions which provide insights into the human experience. To what extent has the composer of your prescribed text raised questions which provide insights into the human experience

    Timing tips for paper 1 sections and paper 2 sections

    you probably know you have two minutes per mark. funnily enough, I just finished my short answer way too fast; and 'the crucible' and common mod. essay really isn't too hard so an hour is ridiculous. my plan for the section 1 of the exam is to force myself to properly analyse the unseen text...

    Ezra Pound's influence on TS Eliot?

    ezra pound edited 'the wasteland' intensely. ezra pound was also a deeply set facist; who most likely influenced eliot's anti-semitic views. ezra pound was fond of the symbolist movement; which T.S Eliot derived much of his work from.

    FULL MARK | Depth Study (Multi-syllabus depth study, mainly concerning Module 8 topics)

    My teacher is an experienced HSC marker (not that that really matters... it's a depth study). I went crazy on this during my holidays. You don't need to write this much for full marks. I had great fun with this - this has been uploaded through turnitin and such - so don't think about...

    how should i study for the maths advanced hsc this year?

    There seems to be a little bit of a paradigm shift for the Mathematics Advanced course after the new 2019 syllabus - it's always a gamble after a new syllabus is introduced to see what NESA/BOSTES want to examine. Past 2 years have been statistics heavy (at least, for a calculus course) - and I...
