Re: "There are no certainties, only representations" .. any ideas what that could mea Very simply, it means that there are only representations of an event, person, situation etc., no 'certainties' or facts. You could interpret it as "There are no facts, only opinions/perspectives". So you...

my own teachers didn't really recommend it, perhaps because some markers might think that you weren't bothered to find your own text, but yes you can just make sure your analysis goes beyond what they're reading in the standard essays (Y)

^ Essays are quite interesting if you can do them well and discuss the techniques as well as the form/intent appropriately. I generally find it's a lot easier to analyse novels and poetry though. Those that did essays in my cohort either got great marks or cut down, it can easily go either way...

Hum just very generally what you could do (what I would do/have done): 2a. Acknowledge that there are multiple reasons why the text is meaningful - e.g. Hughes appeals to a variety of audiences (including himself) 4. This is pretty self explanatory. When discussing the techniques you have to...

yeah i used the first method if you do decide to go with the first method, it's better to prepare slightly longer essays or random extra paragraphs or a list of quotes/other ideas just in case also choose quotes/techniques that you know you can adapt to a variety of ideas when analysing, or...

i dunno, all nighters work for me... pulled them for all my hsc exams and trials minus maths, turned out fine somehow this isn't really good advice.

Yeah my intros were all 3-4 sentences (80-100 words) and I included all the texts names etc. Like Absolutezero said, it's best if you name the text and say how it relates to the concept/argument, e.g. "This is reflected in X's play, Y, which examines -, and A's film, B, which explores -." Just...

oh wow i did that poem for hsc related LOL i said that the corroboree and bora ground were totemic symbols that created a sense of cultural identity/strong connection with the land yeah you should just post your answers if you want feedback

what actually goes on in mathsoc other than the obvious the guy there just told me 'well we help each other out with math questions...' ...

Thank you! Yeah, I felt like I was marked unfairly too, got this teacher who hated my ee2 as well :/ Ranked top 10 for every other assessment and 2nd in trials, so I managed to pull the ranks back up. I went to a top 20 private school. Good work with the essay, keep at it! Yes, there can be a...

YES I HEARD :P Loved the cha cha cha part, haha. How'd you find everything?

OUI! somethingsomethingsomethingsomethingsomething LA CHEMISE! Oh god, it's been stuck in my head since I got home. Fail flash mob though, music wasn't loud enough!

Just keep trying :) I ranked ~120/~200 in one assessment for english worth 20%, ended up with rank 13 and a HSC mark of 98 (: Just don't get discouraged!

I got 2290 but then I was too lazy to apply and figured I'd just stay here :P What did you go for?

Wow, harbour cruise? Yeah, I'm considering ~

Yes, it was unexpected. My entire essay was based on the first half of the play. I only knew one phrase from the last Act that wasn't in the given excerpt. But then I figured I could talk about 'progression' e.g. how the fact that the ending was so different from the first half of the play/how...

Hopefully I'll find a way to entertain myself... without losing track of time and going home, haha. 14 hours! Haha, don't want anything back to back, but yeah, I wasn't expecting people to be so eager... most of the lectures I considered were only ~20 places from being full last night... not...

Here's mine. I hate feeling rushed so I split everything. I'm a bit apprehensive about the four hour break, but I guess it's better than just coming in for an hour or two on another day when a return trip = 3 hours anyway... I'd probably feel more inclined to skip. I got in late though, two...

This :D

Thanks guys! I got 99.6, eco pulled me down I guess P: Disappointed with ext eng but ecstatic with advanced. Very nice marks in all your subjects myafanatic! I wrote about 5-6 pages for each I think lath, nothing extraordinary :P Just learn and know the textbook info based on the syllabus...
