I think some people feel stressed not because they've left everything to the last minute but because of the fact that half yearlies count towards a significant portion of your internal mark, and also because it is the HSC!

if you hand in your ext journal as it is now do you reckon you will get good marks? If not, probs pull an all nighter and do both or only do maybe 2hrs worth of research for ext

I guess it's better to

Depends on what you're defining. Stuff like 'domestic violence' probably doesn't need a definition, but proper legal terminology (eg. state sovereignty) should have definitions

Our teacher recommends writing three body paragraphs, each with about 4-5 quotes, and all analysed in the same amount of detail as each other.

Well technically "assess" means that you need to talk about positives and negatives, but it doesn't necessarily have to be balanced. For example, you could have maybe only one or two positives but five negatives, and that's still fine as long as it is relevant to the question. But if a question...

I'm not sure whether this is the same thing, but I handwrite notes in class but then type up proper ones at home just because it's easier and cleaner to read, plus it's much faster than handwriting. I guess handwriting your notes is good because it gives you practice for exams, but it really...

zoomorphism maybe?? because you're assigning animal characteristics to humans?? (livestock)

Only one week??!! Our half yearlies start Thursday week 9 I think with English, and then we have the long weekend before the rest of the exams in weeks 10 and 11

Maybe either take a break for a few days, reduce the amount of time you spend studying each night (eg. from 4 hours to 2) or alternate between study and breaks (one day study, one day break)

Extracurriculars only really matter when applying for scholarships, but it's still good to do some so you're not just studying all the time

hahaha literally went through the question with my teacher today First of all, there's a total of 4 hits and the 3 aces can occur in any order, therefore that occurs 4C3 times which is 4. Just looking at one case (ace, ace, ace, in), there's a 1/15 chance of hitting an ace, so for the three...

Damn what schools do you all go to? Mine's so chill for a selective

Re: Do markers discriminate against people who choose a prescribed text as their rela unless if you can do a really interesting or unique analysis of the prescribed text, the markers will probably discriminate even if they say won't

Re: Do markers discriminate against people who choose a prescribed text as their rela yeah you should be fine with using a prescribed text then

Re: Do markers discriminate against people who choose a prescribed text as their rela It just means that it's harder to come up with original ideas in your analysis, making your essay stand out less

This sometimes happens in our school. With our last eng adv assessment, we had to write a narrative and do a reading task. With the narratives, we had to hand in drafts before we were given the assessment task. Using my friend as an example, they got extremely good feedback from our teacher and...

Probably keep social media unless if it really distracts you from school work. But even then, there are many ways you can not get distracted eg. putting your phone away, using certain apps. Social media is also good if you work with others eg. we have fb groups where we post questions and stuff

Yeah you can lose marks if one paragraph is significantly longer than the other (especially if the longer paragraph is the related) but if they're within 50 words of each other then you should be fine... I don't know. You should probably talk to the teacher who marked it and get them to explain...

I do 4U and have never done tutoring in my life. In terms of ranks I'm doing pretty okay but I do get a lot of help from teachers and other students. I reckon you should continue 4U unless if the workload is too much and decide whether to drop or not right at the end once you have all your...
