    Haven't studied at all these holidays

    Also keep in my mind I was still trying to finish my notes for Ancient like a day before the exam lol. And for Modern, I didn't even revise or make notes on like half the content and was bouncing off my friend's knowledge by having them teach it to me an hour before the exam xD Luckily we had...

    Haven't studied at all these holidays

    Hope delivered from me to you, based on personal experience :D * Crammed Modern History midterm content in one week, ranked first at 92% * Crammed Ancient History midterm content in 5 days, ranked fourth at 84% (lost marks in an essay section that I didn't study for at all, got like 6/10 lol) *...

    Assessment: Report

    Are the report and reflection statements separate things? Because we had a "Report" due a few weeks ago, but it had the exact same requirements as the Reflection Statement. Now it's our final internal, where we have to give in a "Reflection Statement" with the same requirements as what was...

    Typos in final major?

    Yes, two girls got an E4 last year, and their short stories had quite a few typos. One of them actually got 50/50, so I don't think the markers will be as strict on typos if you produce a really good work! :)

    Ranks and the gaps in between

    Omg thank you, this was helpful and nicely explained! I don't think the second scenario would happen for my school haha. Like the grade is slightly better than previous grades, but not to the extent that I think the person coming last would do extraordinarily well or be ~5 marks off from the...

    Ranks and the gaps in between

    Hi guys! So today my teacher was talking about how they're very surprised at the competitiveness and closeness of ranks for this year's cohort - for pretty much all my subjects - Modern, Ancient, English Adv, Extension 1 and 2, the gap between Rank 1 up to Rank 13 is literally 1 to 3 marks...

    Are questions always on the syllabus dot points?

    Hi So let's say for Ancient, "plans and streetscapes" is the syllabus dot point, so I assume there will definitely be a high chance they could ask about plans and streetscapes, but the textbook also talks about gates, walls and villas, but that's not really specifically a "plan" or a...

    Is it possible to get 90 atar with these trash mark

    The same goes for English - advanced seems harder compared to 3u or 4u o.O At least for me and people I know.

    Internal/external rankings for English Extension

    Hey Does the ranking system for the majority of subjects, where your internal rank determines your internal mark, and you keep your external and then they average it, etc, apply for EE1? Or is it different, because I know your internal and external for EE2 stays the same and then they average...

    ATAR estimate?

    92.40 Don't despair, though - my ATAR estimate's currently sitting at a 94.70, but that doesn't mean I'm giving up my hopes for a 98+ :) There's still one assignment, trials, then the actual HSC, which is worth 50%!

    HELP for creative writing

    UPDATE :D Scraped the plotless story I had prepared, improvised one on the day of the midterm, ended up getting 23/25. I think I'll just edit it until it's a 25/25 and adapt it as my prepared creative.

    Nah, I'm sure you'll do great. Yeah, it's slightly less stressful. xD True, I get what you mean. We're doing Compassion by Nigel Westlake, too! As well as Eliza's Aria by Kats-Chernin, which is a really nice one. I think we're doing another Nigel Westlake, although I'm not entirely sure. I...

    Wow, that sounds like a lot. We have a Viva on how we manipulated the concepts of music used in our composition. o.O That sounds so good, and I'm sure you'll do great! Yeah, the hardest part is trying to centre your melody/theme on one idea when you have so many - I struggle with that too...

    2018ers Chit-Chat Thread

    That's the worst! Is it the composition itself, or making the portfolio? Mine's due 2 weeks from now, so I should consider myself blessed compared to yours due this Friday, but I have to do a Viva that goes along with it. :/

    Comeback stories

    I was getting 60-70% in every English Extension 1 assignment and exam in Year 11 - was so out-of-it every lesson, hardly paid attention, treated the assignments like they didn't mean a thing. Now it's Year 12, and I'm actually more focused and willing to improve; my weighted mark is now 92%.

    What's more important: the uni itself or the city it's located

    I'd go to Melbourne! You won't be staying in the university for your whole life, but you will be staying in the city for (most likely) your whole life. Plus it's also good that you already have connections, which gives you a head-start in your social life. And University of Melbourne ranks 1st...
