    Less than 24 hours...

    I really hope that they do not specify Sadat or Keating, and I'm pretty certain they won't specify Deane... I could be okay with Brookes but I'll need to revise her more. Atwood, Pearson and Lessing are a must for me... I just really hope they won't specify. Though given the fact that they...

    Less than 24 hours...

    After more study I actually feel pretty good about Paper 1 tomorrow, my essay and Creative writing pieces are solid and the Short Answers shouldn't be too stressful! Paper 2 though... I feel fine for Module A (W;t and Donne) and I feel decent about Module C (People and Politics - Brave New...

    How many quotes are you doing for AOS essay?

    If I write about 2 themes in AOS should I split the paragraphs up by text? Some teachers prefer if I do that whilst others prefer that I have huge paragraphs that encompass all texts relating to that theme.

    Area of Study Section 3 Related Materials

    I'm using 'Evangelion: 1.0 You are (Not) Alone' as my first related material (As I have written about it a lot in both Advanced and Extension) and for my Second I am using William Ernest Henley's 1888 poem 'Invictus' as my second related material. If they ask for two related materials then I...

    Area of Study Section 3 Related Materials

    Hey everyone! I just wanted to know, given that it is the day before the exam, what related materials everyone is using for Paper 1 tomorrow? Additionally, do people think they will ask for one related material or two?

    Anyone in the past use a stimulus booklet text as a related?

    Well, I guess it would probably depend on the marker, though I would definitely not recommend it unless you couldn't think of anything else. One of my friends did take one of her related materials from either our Trial or Half-Yearly examination and has been using it since without the teacher...

    2016 hsc speeches predicitons? Will it be elft open?

    Just found this thread, I really hope they specify Atwood (if they specify). My best are Atwood, Lessing and Pearson (which I have written about together multiple times) but I'd be okay with Brooks. I really hope they don't specify Keating or Sadat, and I assume they won't specify Deane for...

    What band will these marks get me??

    Well it is around 79% raw I believe so it will align to a Band 5. In saying that, it will depend on your assessment mark (based on the performance of your cohort).

    Final ATAR Estimate (Post Trial)

    Hey guys, I was wondering if I could get a final ATAR estimate given that all of my assessments are now over. I will do my pre-trial rank, my trial rank, my post-trial rank, my RAW Trial mark and my overall assessment mark respectively. School Rank: Around 250 English Advanced: 1/22, 1/22...

    How to improve English essays???

    I'm sure that some or at least one would be willing to, I have my teacher and the head teacher look at my assessments and then my teacher sends my work to a teacher she knows that works at another school to ensure that no bias goes into the feedback. When there is a will there is a way!

    How to improve English essays???

    Yeah but you could possibly get a different teacher to look at it?

    Biology Trials

    Thanks! I'll look into those! :) EDIT: Upon inspection based on the past Biology trials I found I believe that my school uses Exam Choice. How does the difficulty of Exam Choice trials compare?

    How to improve English essays???

    You could have your teacher or another teacher look over it? Before an assessment I always hand in practice essays and seek feedback.

    CSSA 2016 English Extension 1 Exam Thoughts

    What were the Science Fiction questions? I don't know which Trial paper my school used, but for the Science Fiction creative writing, we had to begin with a quote along the lines of "The sky was quite blue. She couldn't see it, but she could remember it" and then we also had to include a clock...

    Biology Trials

    Hey guys, so basically I was just wondering what you all thought of the Biology trials? My school doesn't use CSSA Biology trials or at least we didn't this year from what I can tell, mine included a Case study on the relationship between the Zika Virus and Microcephaly, Questions on Renal...

    Thinking of doing History Extension...

    Personally, I would go with English Extension 2... At least for that it is self-directed learning. I did History Extension as I love history though I found it rather boring and time consuming. The major work is your Historical Investigation, which is essentially a personal investigation into an...
