Thanks for your reply! Reading it has made me realise how little I actually know about this field. I did know there are different fields of foreign affairs but I do not actually know them individually. I guess I would have a little bit more research into it myself.

Re: How to excel in senior year studies (yr 11/12) Heyys Mei! I'm back again and this time with some questions for English. Right now I'm doing my critical study on speeches and since I saw you answering some questions in this field I thought I would drop by and ask for some advice. Can you...

I'll keep it short and sweet. I'm interested in working for the government for foreign relations and so what are the related courses that will benefit me in chasing after this career? I'm currently considering Asia-Pacific Security/Law. However I'm also worried that this may be a very narrow...

It depends on the reason, some I can understand but for most I really judge upon. If it's a family emergency or bad accident etc., then yes, although I'm upset about it I can understand. However it has happened to me before and the reason provided to us was that the teacher just quit teaching...

This thread is so helpful ! The advice and the past exam papers are gold. tysm!

I've been told that using hypothetical case studies is normally "too perfect to be true" especially when you are using that one business all the way throughout your essay, it really comes through. Experienced HSC markers should be able to differentiate easily between real and made up businesses...

Re: Advice from a graduated HSC student on how to excel in senior year studies(yr 11/ Thanks for taking the time to reply! Since typing the post it's safe to say I have almost completely come to terms with my results in that particular subject. I've recently received my my report and found...

Re: Advice from a graduated HSC student on how to excel in senior year studies(yr 11/ Heyys Mei (: I have a question if you don't mind in relation to your own hsc experience with consistent performances. As a year eleven student I was in the top three for five subjects and the other two in the...

Wow now everyone's saying I should differentiate instead D: I think I'm more confident this way too but for my actual assessment I integrated anyway and I ended up coming third in the grade instead of my usual second. I'd hate to think this was one of the contributing factors. Terribly...

The trials make up the biggest percentage of your internal marks so please keep trying your best, it is definitely not too late! If you have been getting consistently high English marks then I think it's safe to say you performed below your usual standard due to poor preparation, but this also...

Basically you want your cohort to do well (so to not drag down your marks) and yet you don't want to share your hard work with everyone which is fair enough. Before the trials I only recommend sharing your resources with people who are equally willing to be helpful for you. I have friends who...

Personally I think while integrating is great it really doesn't do you any good if you can't do it well. Doing the texts separately will work just as well as long as you show the links between using the "words of comparison" as you said. I'll definitely keep this in mind! Thanks for the reply! :)

Thanks for the links! :)

Thank you!

Since this is a comparative study I've done my first integrated essay where I discuss both texts in the same paragraph. I've never done it before since I always only ever talked about one text per paragraph in my preliminary years. My question would be is it better to integrate or do it...

Let's get the whole graph in essay for Economics is crucial for high marks misunderstanding out of the way first. It only counts if your graph is relevant and you can explain it in relation to the question. Don't do it if you're not confident in it and you'll just end up wasting your time...

Capital inflow is about foreign capital coming into Australia yeah? So it would increase when interest rates are high, regardless of it being in context of lending or borrowing. It would only matter if you're required to talk about the domestic impacts, capital outflow or increased foreign...

My school is actually not in the Top 100 I don't think, despite the fact we have ~250 doing English Advanced. If I do go to one of the top schools then yeah, my current ranking would be more than enough for 90+ but with my own school I'm not a hundred percent confident. If gaps between ranks...

Re: Advice from a graduated HSC student on how to excel in senior year studies(yr 11/ Manual bump! Dropping by once again for some motivational words. Thanks once again Mei! :)

One of the most underrated films that year! How it didn't manage to win any awards at all is beyond me.
