To outscale a 95 in IPT you'd need around 91/92 in economics. Considering your school in particular, NSBHS, last year the cohort received exactly 10 b6s in economics. Though this year could obviously vary, that indicates that 10th rank with low levels of study would probably only get you to 90 -...
I like it, that's a far stronger way to approach the question and it relies on coherent discussion of multiple aspects of the question rather than dropping surprises on the marker. Keep in mind you're writing for tired teachers who have already marked 15 essays in addition to having taught all...
"it is the fact that it allows us to take a break from our everyday lives that's more important" should be a part of your thesis. In fact, it seems like it should just be your thesis, "change can either positively or negatively impact a person" doesn't seem very strong.
This sounds like a perfectly sensible way to approach a question which asks you to discuss a particular idea or theme. Introduce your overarching thesis (which will be primarily situated in your third paragraph) in your introduction. If you rely on 'surprise' twists of argument, then your essay...
Not necessarily, by doing more than one text you limit the depth you can go into for each individual text.
If the question specifies "at least one" then you can do two, but if it says "using ONE" then you have to use only one.
Considering board of studies has decided to conveniently change module c the year we are sitting the hsc, share your questions from paper 2 here, ours was something like "Landscapes are associated with the best or worst human experiences"
You'll look like an idiot, but my understanding is that the section 1 texts are fair game. However the problem arises that if they're section 1 texts they'd usually not be considered a highly appropriate related text for the essay.
Ah yeah I can see that's pretty ambiguous, I meant as in they'll just ask one of the main sentences straight from the rubric rather than trying to come up with an actually interesting question. E.g. "discoveries can be sudden and unexpected. Discuss in relation to your prescribed etc." or...
Unlikely they'll go easy on us. There's no pressure on them for us to do well, they have another 5 years to write easy papers if they want. The only thing that might indicate a broader than normal exam is that they don't know what the level of knowledge is like amongst students for the new...
