Hi there, I'm not sure how useful my input will be considering when I did the HSC, our AOS was still 'Belonging'. At the time, our prescribed text for AOS was 'Romulus, my father' (it's a novel - biographic in nature). My teacher suggested it might go well with Motorcycle diaries, so I believe...

Hey OP! Glad to know you're feeling much better :) I believe you mentioned in a previous post that you've been working very hard during the holidays and also extensive hours when you're at school. I know this is probably going to sound weird and illogical - but that right there IS the problem...

Amazing work fellow classmate - you've made our school really proud :) As for me, I'm an all-rounder so I'm happy enough :eek:

Hey guys! Just wanted to say sorry for those people who I didn't get a chance to reply to. I hope you guys still gave it your very best! I'm still going to be quite inactive during this period of time but when I do get the chance again, I will make another post so you guys have the opportunity...

Hi everyone. I'm in China at the moment & as internet access is very limited, replying to PMs is very difficult. I'll be able to reply properly after 3 weeks so please bare with me for the time being :)

Hi guys, just wanted to say - I'm leaving overseas on Wednesday morning. (I did mention this in my original post!) I haven't been on a trip for leisure in ages so this is really a trip to have lots of fun and all :) That's why I won't be as active starting from Wednesday onwards. I hope you...

Thank you so much! You're an amazing person yourself - so helpful on the threads (and also at parra library!) :D

Re: Any good tv series too watch ^ +1 I highly recommend Criminal Minds - a great show. The cases are very interesting and just really unique compared to other crime shows. Also, the crew have really great chemistry together and it's interesting to see how each of them are all really complex...

As long as they are both related to similar notions of discovery (e.g. self-discovery, physical discovery of land) - you should be fine :)

I think any sort of bildungsroman novel (i.e. "coming of age" novel) is suitable for discovery (notion of self-discovery and all). I recommend everyone check out novels by Sonya Hartnett (she has a few fantasy - but there are some nice "coming of age" ones - e.g. Butterfly) I also feel that "To...

I sent you a PM - check your inbox :D

Thanks for the incredibly sweet message! :)

Thank you!

^ I think all the users above have answered your question really well :lol: Just as an add on though - if you believe you will be able to do well in Adv Eng or even if you're just willing to give it your best shot, do take their advice because anyone should be allowed to achieve their greatest...

Personally, I think every student works differently :) so do what you feel most comfortable with. I feel most students do it because it feels sort of like a safety net - because sometimes even the best notes you buy from past students might not cover new changes to a syllabus. For maths, my...

Hey guys! I'm a 2014 HSC graduate and since I have spare time now (which I thought could be put to better use), I figured I may as well post a thread on BOS on helping people out with their essays. You may notice I didn't mention the word "marking" in the title of my thread. To be completely...

^ I think this is already really great advice :D But just adding on - the thesis is your main argument (what you're trying to convince your reader about) so when you hone in one factors, perhaps hone in on THREE or FOUR main factors. Remember, the actual HSC exam requires you to write an essay...

^ I agree with this. Coroneos (the yellow book) actually has answers that are much more detailed and more comprehensive overall. I suggest, for maths, if you know any past students who are selling the 2014 edition for cheap, then just buy it. You really don't need the 2015 edition because to be...

Effectiveness is, in simple terms, how well something works. For example, in legal, when you compare international law and domestic law, you could talk about how quite often, domestic law can be considered quite effective as opposed to international law, primarily due to its enforceability and...

I think what you should do is really try to understand the concepts behind trig. You can do so by looking through your class notes, through any of the textbooks your school has provided (you can borrow or buy these too) as well as from any notes your tutoring place gives you (if you do go...
