    Year 9 English Analysis

    Well she communicates the beam's heaviness by emphasising the physical and mental feat that Louie has achieved in holding it up for so long. There's a decent amount of imagery: "Louie's arms began to waver and go numb. His body shook" "...the camp swimming around him" She repeatedly refers...

    Is it possible get a 99 Atar ???

    This is not true. Even the hardest working, smartest students in the state will not be getting these kinds of marks in every assignment for every subject. To get 99 you certainly need to work extremely hard and have a great work ethic, but you don't need to be a robot.

    NESA Casio calculator ban debacle

    Some of NESA's changes in the new syllabus are so weird. I had my maths prelim today and the presiding officer told us that they changed the rules and they're no longer allowed to notify the exam room when there's 10 mins left to go. Why was that deemed to be a necessary change lol

    Review of english extension 1 in year 11?

    If you're achieving those marks in English then it would definitely be in your interest to do extension. I did extension for two terms and dropped it at the start of this term. I did this for a couple reasons, but mainly because I really disliked my teacher, I found the content to be pretty dry...

    Good Resources

    Yeah, but I'm looking more for past paper kind of stuff. Is there any of that on here?

    Good Resources

    Anyone know any sites / places I can find good resources and past papers, other than thsconline? Looking specifically for prelim resources relating to new-syllabus stuff for Chem, Adv & Ext Maths, and Japanese, and stuff I might be able to use for year 12.

    what is storytelling?!?

    I haven't read that novel, but I'm assuming you're in year 11 advanced English? If the question asks you about storytelling, you should look at how characters of your novel have constructed narratives. Are they constructing stories about someone to paint them in a bad light? Do they retell the...

    question on SIMULTANEOUS EQUATIONZ.

    Well it can be either, but generally you'd simply choose the easiest one.

    Will 2U show up on my HSC transcript if I am taking 4U?

    By transcript, do you mean like the results you get at the end of year 12?
  13. Kangaaroo

    question on SIMULTANEOUS EQUATIONZ.

    You may isolate either variable, it doesn't matter. In this case, though, don't you think elimination would be better? We can multiply the first equation through by 2, and get a new set of equations: 2x + 10y = -26 -- 1 2x - y = 7 -- 2 Subtracting 2 from 1, we have: 10y -(-y) = -26 - 7 11y...

    Rate my year 10 essay.

    Well they say that the best way to get better at writing is just to practise it. Write practise responses, reflections, short-stories etc. and hand them in to your teacher for marking. It's also helpful to make tables on Word or whatever and things like that in preparation for an exam so you can...

    What should I choose?

    You should really evaluate subject choices on three main criteria: Do I like this subject? Do I perform well in this subject? Would this subject be helpful for what I want to study after school? Also, SOR1 is generally considered an easy band 6 because it's content is relatively simple and is...

    Rate my year 10 essay.

    I'd also suggest maybe developing a more sophisticated or analytical thesis. When writing an essay you've got to let the marker know that you have developed some kind of personal opinion that you can back up with evidence - this tells the marker you have an in-depth understanding of the ideas...

    ECO: 2019-2020 federal budget

    Contractionary. The government is projected to run a surplus, which means they are spending less than the revenue they are receiving.

    Limitation on the number of units you can do?

    uh yeah I'm pretty sure no school allows you to do 17 units, how would that even be timetabled?
  19. Kangaaroo

    Should I do PHYSICS without 3 UNIT MATHS? Or am i crazy??! PLS HELP!!!

    Yeah it's a terrible way of describing it. More emphasis was placed on the contextual aspect of Physics, as a way of drawing more girls to pursue STEM subjects. A silly change yes, but not "feminised" (wth does really even mean lol).
