    Related texts for HSC Advanced English

    I don't think you can use prescribed texts as related texts i think its like a big no no lol, it wouldn't be fair to other students or something

    Need help with modern history question. 4 days to study left :(

    Forgive me I'm rusty on Indochina but you would discuss what communism has done to Vietnamese/Cambodian society. Impacts generally refer to politics, the economy, the society, the military, all that jazz. Discuss what has the transition to communism done to the respective nations. Look the key...

    How much of an impact will a crappy teacher have on internal ATAR marking

    I personally haven't gotten any bad teachers but the good thing about Prelim exams/HSC Half Yearlies/Trials, the teacher marks the exams in reference to your student numbers so realistically your teacher will be forced to mark good essays good and bad essays accordingly. Regardless of how bad he...

    Should i keep or bin old year 10 school work ?

    Imao i hoard my stuff so I've kept all my stuff (I've even kept YEAR 6 HAHAHAH) but honestly the stuff from yr 7/8/9/10 is not useful for Prelim/HSC, sure maybe maths and essay techniques for english and all that jazz but realistically you can just bin it you don't need junior content to excel...

    Hey trials got me bad

    Well uhhh, if you're confident with English and Bio, I'm sure you'll get a good mark for your trial exams which means you've got modern and chem so make sure you smash the rest of those exams since your Maths isn't exactly your strong point. Again, a 90 ATAR is not necessarily way without your...

    Hey trials got me bad

    Your ATAR goal of 90 is most certainly not in jeopardy, the only thing you gotta do is ace your trials especially since they're worth a lot. Finish off writing your notes and attempting past papers for bio, chem, modern and englsh. Remember the scientific concepts within bio and chem in short...

    2018ers Chit-Chat Thread

    The lectures pretty much go through exam tips and content of the subject so it is useful, especially since it’s free, so if you don’t have anything else better to do you could go to these lectures and brush up on content. In saying that, did everyone receive their Trials timetables yet? If so...

    Working During Senior School

    Personally 13/14 units isn't too extreme for the Preliminary course, but it is for the HSC course but to answer your question working will definitely force you to develop a healthy work life and study lifestyle so I think 10-12 hours is decent, like 3-4 3 hour shifts a week is enough and during...

    Year 11 Subject Selections

    1. Pick English Advanced over English Standard, the scaling is not very good as you have been told, legit less than 1% of the whole state gets a Band 6, compared to Eng Adv's 15%. The content isn't that too far of a difference, Advanced is just more critical and in-depth, which should be...

    Year 10 Subject Selection

    Oh yikes all 3 of these? Prepare to enslave yourself to the world of essay writing imao tbh 13/14 units is a lot for the Preliminary Year, especially since you only need to do 12 but hey whatever works for you First of all, what aspects do you enjoy about these three subjects? Do you like...

    All three Sciences for Year 11 and 12?

    Yeah basically what Jolteon said, pick the 3 sciences only if you genuinely love science, or if you don't, it will come back to bite you on your butt D: If you enjoy practicals/hands on/making relationships to scientific concepts/love variables (imao idk) and scientific experiments above all...

    Internal assessment rank vs. HSC external mark? (help)

    Yeah the HSC doesn't exactly reward individual achievement, but rather the strength of your cohort, but I guess it does give the students who've put in a lot and effort and earned a high internal rank kind of 'leeway' so that if you mess up externals, you'll end up taking else someone's mark...

    Please help me, I don't know if i'm screwed

    Hey!! From what I've read so far I don't think you've ruined your ATAR and 75 is most definitely achievable for you. If you say you messed up your half yearlies, then it means these exams were just a one-off thing and you'll surely do better in your next batch of assessments and your final...

    Relationships in Hamlet

    I'd probs also include Hamlet and Ophelia, shes underrated but I think she was kinda like the glue to him and once she returned his letters back to him, he went insane and did that weird verbal assault on her during Act 3 or something. Ophelia was also his lil 'sexy time' so you could use her...

    Is English should be counted in the hsc?

    There was a recent post about this on here but I don't think it really should be compulsory but on the other hand I don't know what should be included if english isnt included, it would make ATAR calculations much more volatile (?) or subject to massive changes and below is my opinion, its what...
