That was by far the easiest legal exam out of all the trial papers and past hsc papers I've seen ...so naturally, I fucked up world order lmao Nah but that was a pretty easy exam, the raw marks to get a b6 are probably gonna be bumped up as a result

Crime: my teacher reckons something on juries, but given how wacky the hsc's been so far I wouldn't be surprised if they asked us about something obscure like young offenders, international crime or post-sentencing considerations Consumers: haven't had a look at too many past Qs, but I get the...

Idk, that's just what my teachers told us, that we should always use two since one isn't enough and three is too many ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Lmao I feel like such a dumbass - when I first read the question I thought it meant our texts themselves had to show an appreciation of literature, so I talked about Atwood and Lessing and how they themselves show a deep appreciation for literature, band 1 here we come :D jk jk I also argued...

Prescribed: The Tempest Related: Howl's Moving Castle (film)

I've got 2, only got my 2nd one in the past few days. What prescribed text are you doing for mod c? This one's my favourite so far: https://www.facebook.com/groups/hsc.discussion.group.2018/permalink/2200957543495036/ Gotta be honest, I think the most disappointing part of this paper is the...

Thinking back on S1, I think Text 2 is a lot more literal than I'd thought. I can't think of any subtler meaning than exploring the Antarctic, plus the questions on it were more "what techniques conveyed ___" rather than "how did the text show that discoveries are ___". Unrelated, but anyone...

Should be, that's essentially what I did so hopefully we're good :0

I think you can. I ended up emphasising the “always” part and wrote that discoveries can be new and rediscovering something old, and that discoveries can be joyful and confronting. I swear I used the word confronting about 20 times in my essay lmao

Yep, mine’s The Tempest

Holy macaroni that test was odd, barely finished it S1: all my answers were total BS, hopefully the quotes and techniques I chucked in there are enough S2: managed to put the quote in, but didn’t know how to put in two perspectives. Hopefully past/present perspectives are enough? S3: the...

I've gotta say, I've come to actually hope for Brooks since her speech clearly relates to Lessing and Atwood, so at least it won't be hard to synthesise. I'm really hoping for AOS the general theme is unplanned/confronting discoveries since that matches my essay and creative best. I doubt...

My teachers constantly warned us against using more than one related speech, especially since the question asks for a prescribed and only one related. I would brush up on context, purpose and audience of every speech before the exam, since that is almost as, if not more, important than your...

Yeah my teachers reckon it’ll be Brooks or possibly Atwood. Just out of curiosity, are anyone else’s Mod B essays a lot shorter than their other essays?

These seem like really good topics. I'd suggest not adding any more unless you're super passionate about what you'd be adding, and start narrowing down your topics. Start applying concepts to them to create a hypothesis/more specific research question, and do some quick background research to...

iirc there aren't any prerequisites for any unsw courses (except law and med of course) They have "assumed/recommended knowledge" but they aren't prerequisites, just guides of what you should know

Turns out I'm coming 4th in 2U (85%), with ~1% between me and 3rd. However there is about 10% between me and 1st, not sure where 2nd is. School rank is 180-200, we usually get 3-4 B6s each year. Grade average in exams is usually around 50%. What raw mark should I be aiming for in the HSC to...

I'm worried they're gonna ask for 2 related texts for discovery and/or mod c, given we're the last lot on this syllabus, and they haven't asked for 2 in a while. I actually kind of want them to prescribe a text for mod b (I'm doing speeches), so long as it's not Brooks. Anything but Brooks.

Your internal school marks don't matter at all (apart from determining rank). Feeling that false sense of security just crumble away really hit me hard haha Also people need to stop spreading the rumour that yr11 counts for half of your atar, the amount of people who only found out otherwise as...

I can't know for sure, but they'd probably be extremely competitive, given how "prestigious" the university is and how competitive the scores are to get in. Sydney Scholars especially so, but I applied anyways, there's no harm in giving it a go. Faculty specific ones however might be a bit less...
