    Predictions 2015

    I'd say big 3 and events leading to the armistice are both under assessed dot points, however for 2 sources and own knowledge I wouldn't discount a trench warfare question. I'd be surprised if it was unusually hard.

    2016 hsc

    I hadn't even thought of that, but I guess that does make sense. I was thinking of it more from the perspective of a) schools like that tend to allow old boys/girls to advertise as private tutors internally and b) if you went to one of those schools you probably don't need the extra money as...

    2016 hsc

    idk, a couple of these guys are actually friends of friends so I'll see if I can find out. But if you state ranked multiple subjects and went to view or newington or ascham like some of those kids you don't imagine you'd work for less than $40 an hour. Also legit what's up with all these spam...

    How does eco essay marking work?

    Yeah you're right, I can't even find it in any of the past papers I have detailed markers comments for. I wonder where I read it, I swear it was the same question though. Doesn't matter particularly.

    How does eco essay marking work?

    iirc Q27 was asked in 2011 or something and I remember the marker comments saying that a lot of candidates had real trouble providing a specific evaluation of the role of international organisations and agreements. It's a far more explicitly argument based question than q28 and for that reason...

    State Rank Raw Mark?

    I would not be too unhappy if it's 94. Cut off for 10th last year was 96 HSC wasn't it, so surely that puts the raw around there.

    Essay: Wrote wrong question number in booklet

    Yeah that's no problem. The people scanning and marking do absolutely everything they can to make sure your paper is properly marked.

    General Thoughts: Economics

    SA this year I think was a touch harder and essays were a touch easier. I doubt it will change much though.

    General Thoughts: Economics

    tfw accidentally analysed the literary techniques of the section 3 quote. Incidentally, how come it wasn't attributed to anyone? It just had a date on my paper.

    General Thoughts: Economics

    Yep only 3 marks. China's by far the easiest case study to use for that question.

    General Thoughts: Economics

    17 on q25, 16 on q28 Was very happy, some interesting questions in there.

    How many pages should the essays be?

    The Board stipulates that you should be able to receive full marks with 800 words if you don't muck around. In reality though, it's far easier to just burn through multi choice and short answer in an hour and then spend an hour each on the essays to get out around 1300-1400 words.

    ATB Predictions?

    tbf 2013 isn't actually a composer focus, it's a construction of character focus. It doesn't really work too well for Plath - I can't think of anywhere she really reflects on the setting like they do in some of the other texts. Also Good Night and Good Luck doesn't really lend itself to setting...

    ATB Predictions?

    I'd be surprised if they did composers. I was thinking they could do something about settings but does that fit with enough of the prescribeds?
