*She. Sorry OP! This thread is about the hypothetical for if OP gets 70 in externals. Otherwise, she'll probably get something like 85 - external, which becomes 85 for internals --> Final mark : 85

I think OP can get his 83 too. But if he gets a 70 in the externals and nobody in his school beats him, his internal mark will not be 93 (It'll be 70)

93 might not be his actual internal mark.

Astroman, that's incorrect because the 93 is his internal raw mark and will change based on how cohort goes in final exams.

If you get an exam mark of 70 (after moderation) and no-one in your school cohort scores better, unfortunately your final mark will be 70. However, if someone in your school does achieve a higher mark than you, you will get the average of {your mark (70) and theirs (eg 90)} which would give you...

Authorial intrusion - if the author is trying to directly address the reader

It depends what your school rank is nourah. If your school is not very competitive and you're coming first by a lot (ie you come first in the HSC even with a mark of 70), your final mark will be 70. However, if your school's marks are closer together, the drop will not be as much. But make sure...

Basically this except you use a hindsight perspective/reflective point of view. For example: I ignored my mother. Back then, I thought she was trying to control my life but I now realise that she was just trying to look out for me.

Usually, you get to choose from one specific question (eg surrogacy) and one more general (eg how effective is legal system at getting justice for families). For the specific question, I would recommend finding areas which overlap such as domestic violence and parental responsibilities over...

Definitely incorporate media articles.

This :)

I said Triste Triste because you used it in your OP haha. I don't know if they will but you should be prepared for it regardless. You can connect Triste to other poems using ideas such as religious imagery or the persona's mindset experiencing change over time.

At least know a few points from your second text well enough that if the question asks for 2 texts, you won't be completely screwed.

You are expected to make some references to how critics shaped your personal response. For example: Drawing upon [a Critic's] interpretation of this scene, it can be concluded that.... Or: Although a critic argued [blah], Shakespeare is actually saying [something else]

If they do specify, it will be something like: Refer to 'Triste Triste' and one other poem of your choosing. Basically, they won't mandate both of the poems you need to talk about.

~85

Ideally, you should be making connections between both of your texts. And that is easier using the second structure.

No worries :)

I found evil interesting to explore. Richard III is represented as a physical manifestation of evil in the play but in Pacino's film, he is given more human characteristics.

It is about the tension between body and spirit. Although the persona has just had sex, they are feeling sad because of a lack of spiritual love.
