    Advanced English not optional for Year 11 and 12

    looool i would suggest changing schools. Seriously it will affect you in some way and I'd bet my 5 cents it'd be negatively. What they say is true, it's not what subject you do but how well you do in that subject, however peers will affect you, so the reliability of that statement is further...

    MATH1231 or MATH1241, difference?

    1231 is generally assumed to be easier, with 1241, content is the same but you have to learn extra (extension) stuff, whereas 1231 are allowed to skip it, As my lecturer described it (and I think the book) the work you have to do in 1231 is basically 80% of what you have to do in 1241. I've...

    How to study for Biology before an exam?

    lol you're screwed. I recommend doing past papers at this stage with like almost a day left, I don't need to remind you about the pressure of half yearlies I'm sure you've got that. That aside, past papers are probably the better option at this stage, get some experience on answering questions...

    Is it possible to gain marks on quantity rather than quality??

    I'll have to agree with Blue suede, honestly I see it to be quite logical. Though I believe that the true importance is answering the question, as has been repeated and drilled into my brain by teachers everywhere. i.e. you could write a 20 paged essay and still not answer the question. It's...

    Can you use the word "I" in an essay?

    I have a feeling you're one of the people that memorise essays :/ ,It really depends on the question, I've seen essay questions before that have asked for a personal response. If you're unconvinced and want statistical answers, I'd say ,generally no, the ratio of essays that ask for your own...

    How many words should a modern history essay be?

    Exactly ^ the main point is to reinforce your argument, words don't matter a great deal, but I'd say on average it'd be about 5-6 pages in 40 minutes depending on your writing speed and the size of it and especially if you have to keep writing for a few hours that way

    Is it possible to use...

    Terrible, terrible idea, just goes to show that you didn't prepare for the exam, cannot be bothered, and gives the overall general impression you are lazy... now I do believe that somewhere teachers had said something about catching the markers attention from the start. Well, using the short...

    Should I repeat Year 12?

    Since everyones said stuff about it's a bad idea, to repeat I may as well balance this argument by encouraging you to repeat by listing advantages. It's likely you will get a higher mark than you did this year if you plan to re-take the same subjects, furthermore this extra time might help like...

    How do you guys study for English exams?

    Memorise quotes, often that's always a good way to prepare for the pre-examination period, on top of that, it'd be best to really understand the logocentric concepts of the topic that you're studying, often you need time to do this, so do it a few weeks before an exam perhaps? i always find...

    PDHPE Question prediction

    the supplementation section perhaps, I'd even go as far to learning the characteristics of the learner section, seeing as how it is so frequently overlooked. I predict there will be a question on that section, it seems about the time.

    Who is pumped/not so pumped for modern history tomorrow? :P

    Can't say I'm pumped, can't say I'm not pumped, i must be somewhere in between. The thing I find about modern history is the unpredictability of events, theres just no knowledge of how broad the question will be (to me, the broader the better) or whether it'd be specific to a certain subject...

    Wiemar Repblic Help?

    oops forgot to add in Papen

    Wiemar Repblic Help?

    yeah, technically you can tie each piece of information together, of course you might not be able to do it, given the time and pressure possibly, but I definitely feel that the Nazi parties impact should definitely be mentioned, such as their rise given by the results of the polls of the...

    Treaty of Versailles

    Highly unlikely but as Roy said it's more likely it'd be better if you know the stuff that occurred of the treaty of Versailles, i doubt there would be a question asking you to state specifically what the terms of the Treaty of Versailles wereTo do with the treaty of Versailles it would be more...

    How did everyone find the Chinese continuers test

    I think it wasn't that hard, the 2007/2008 papers were a lot harder, the only possible place I think I made an error was in the listening part talking about people using internet slang, i might have lost one mark there, though I highly doubt it... sooooo anyone else think they got a state rank too?

    What and how to study?

    Yeah you gotta know the person you are doing, what they practice, perhaps even contexts of their time as well as their beliefs and certain perspectives on certain viewpoints.

    Good luck everyone with senior science

    Although it is easy, to achieve remotely decent marks, you will need 100/100 raw marks.. and even then 75% of 4U maths will get higher than this.

    Raw marks for state rank?

    Yes, you are correct. Due to the ease of this subject raw marks will have to be greater than or equal to 100/100, a deviation from this mark will cause your predicament to collapse.

    How many stats/quotes memorised per essay for modern history?

    I have completely memorised the entire content, for modern history using historiography here and there, my plan is to answer the question whilst spamming as much content as possible to flood the marker with information that is relevant massive data dump. It's important to remember to that the...
