    General Thoughts: English Paper 1 (AOS)

    I had a 15/15 essay prepared. Nek minut, forget it all. I don't even know how well I answered the question– I think my thesis was retarded. Also, I'm totally screwed for tomorrow. I write way too slowly.

    Is my handwriting going to be a problem?

    I can read it fine. Experienced English markers are perfectly capable of reading worse, fluently. My English teachers have much messier writing than yours, and mine isn't far off.

    2013 HSC Study Thread

    My biggest subjects are all so close together: English, English, one day break, Legal, then Modern on the Monday back :( I know people have worse though. I feel sorry for the PDHPE students.

    Blue pen

    You should check with your teacher. Many subjects never scanned previously are now being scanned for the first time this year.

    Blue pen

    Some scanned exemplar essays on the ARC board of studies site are in blue pen. Blue does not matter at all, it is just that some people may use a really light blue or their blue pen may fade making some words unreadable.

    Belonging Essay Predictions!

    I will die if they ask this. I will also die if they ask for 2 related text. Or specify the poem.

    SOR Essay Confusion

    My SOR teacher marks the essays, and 800 words is more than enough to access full marks, hence why there is only 35 minutes allocated to it. Obviously write more if you struggle to be so concise, like me, but you just need to use sophisticated language and relevant terminology and engage with...

    Board TROLOLOL

    They can't specify a specific part of the text for Mod C in Advanced, because many students use the Smithsonian website for History/Memory, which is always changing. However, I have abandoned prep for a 2nd related text in belonging/history and memory. I will probs just read over my notes for...

    2015 - 2020 HSC English Texts Published

    Module C for Advanced looks sooo bad hahaha. At least they don't have to suffer through Frankenstein and Blade Runner, and get Nineteen Eighty-Four for Mod A instead :>

    How hard does General Maths get?

    The four unit students at my school couldn't even do my General questions when I needed help. I think because because the questions are so different to the higher level maths courses, and contain a lot of useless content that higher level mathematicians have forgotten. I dropped it because it...

    How many hours?

    I sit for ages (like right now) doing nothing at all, but come 6:00pm I freak out and go into beast mode for about 3 hours haha.

    English HSC Predictions!

    The CSSA had a question on authenticity for History/Memory. Could be that– but then again it could be anything. Last year's question was very difficult imo. I think it was something about human behaviours o.o Would values in Mod A for FR/BR be like scientific pursuit/presumption, environmental...

    One week is all you need for 99.95 ATAR!

    Most people I know are starting English this week too, so I'd probably tell you to make sure your essays are quality even if you do go over your allotted time.

    Opinion: Can I get 96? :)

    I don't think your physics mark is that bad. I'd still study for it incase you can beat your German Continuers mark with it, as it does scale quite well. I know what you mean though. I don't feel like doing any study for Ex English since it is just 1 unit and I don't think it will count towards...

    How many English quotes have YOU got to memorise?

    tbh, quotes are the WORST thing about the entire HSC. I need quotes from various texts for Advanced and Extension, quotes from legislation/reports/media for Legal, historiography for Modern and frickin religious quotes for SORII. Thank God I have Biology to keep me sane. Right now, I despise...

    ATAR Raw Mark/Cut-off Band Database!

    But our national language is the basics of almost any future job employment in Australia o.o Good luck in life if you don't do HSC English of some level. On another note, does anyone have estimates on the raw mark required for a band 6 in Modern? I have a feeling I'm screwed for it.

    What's up with the marking criteria for the Smithsonian website essay?!

    You need to talk about the commemorative purpose of the website and how this restricts its authentic representation of the event, rather than only the inherent bias in the hierarchical nature of historical representations. Contrast this with your related text. Also discuss different webpages and...
