yeah i think i just bullshitted it a bit and said that his discoveries werent ALWAYS new (bc that was the question) and so sometimes they were and sometimes they werent. i think i said how his discovery of poverty and stuff wasnt entirely new since he was already somewhat aware of the social...

our prescribed text was also mcd!!! our whole grade basically died when we saw the rediscovery bit hahah

Hey!! When does everyone finish their exams and what are you planning on doing afterwards?? I finish on the 30th with ext1 being my last exam, and then I have formal two weeks after that, possibly going on a road trip with my friends at the beginning of december, and also having to do us uni...

Doing about 6 hours a day, but only started second week of holidays :/ want a 99 but i don't do enough work hahaha

anyone have good related texts for people and politics? struggling to find a second one prescribed text is king henry

I'm definitely not a creative writing professional hahaha but it is definitely possible. I think most people end up writing about two discoveries, one being physical and the other being some sort of internal revelation, or I guess you could also write about one discovery which leads on to another

hahahah not too great. I'm a bit behind on everything bc I spent the first week of the holidays doing other things. I've been finding second related texts for English and memorising legal examples slowly. Soon I'll need to memorise my quotes for English, do practice papers, and start with bio...

All I know is that the discovery essay will probably be on how it's confronting and provocative, bc that hasn't been tested yet and we got a question on that for trials

For the HSC, are English papers marked by markers who know about the texts or just someone who may know it? If there's a possibility you can get a marker who doesn't know your text then is it fine to bullshit a few things? Also, do all papers from one school get sent to one marker? If so, is...

The only study I've done for the hsc is a practice legal exam :/

maybe try identifying how you are losing those marks eg. silly mistakes, lack of knowledge/understanding etc. If you're making the same silly mistakes over and over again, try writing them down and make sure that you think about not making those mistakes when doing a paper (our maths teacher...

if you think that it's going to help you relearn everything then it's worth doing them. 3 weeks is still a decent amount of time to do past papers, especially since you have the two weeks of holidays

I agree with ahri; this will probably be your last holiday where you can just chill and not worry about studying. But if you still feel like you wanna study, I recommend going over the Ext1 content and making sure you understand it all, as it is still tested in yr 12. Our school uses Cambridge...

Was 99.5 then went down to 99 during the hsc year and now it's back to 99.5 after getting my estimate from school!

I think it's less important to do practice exams for english mainly bc they won't ask the same questions, but definitely recommend doing practice reading tasks and maybe a few essay questions to make sure that you can address the question well

most people say around 10

Would love to get 99 but not too sure whether it's possible (will definitely work hard to smash the hsc though). Also trial marks are a bit sad so will hope to do heaps better in the hsc. We can also get estimates from the school but I've heard that they're very dodgy School rank 2017: 10...

Not exactly? All I know is that your internal mark is calculated based on your rank and how well your cohort goes in the external exam (so if you're ranked 14th you'll get the 14th highest mark in your cohort). Your external mark is purely based on your performance in the external exam but it's...

is it a raw mark based on how well you did in the exam, or is it a percentile, or a combination of both?

i definitely recommend having two creatives because you don't want to be in the situation where you only have one that doesn't work with the stimulus. Even though the creative may be really good, you don't want to have to adapt it heaps on the spot, especially since you've mentioned that you're...
