I have recently graduated having done both. I loved it, in year 10 I was on the brink of choosing geography instead of ancient for similar reasons that you express, it just didn't sound good to do two histories. It felt too narrow. but I'm really glad I did. One thing people miss in their...

drop bio. you don't want to have 13 units and the idea that having a narrow focus of subjects is a bad thing comes from nowhere. You should do the subjects you will do well in to get a shiny atar, the specifics don't matter if you do well

You mean textbooks? I went to Fort Street (now graduated) and unless you did a language subject with a workbook you borrowed all prescribed texts from the school library...in your school fees there is still a mysterious loan fee but you're not expected to buy anything. But maybe I've...

Any thoughts on ancient history at Macquarie anyone?

definitely, the more essays you write the better. Across both Englishes

Star writing straight away, go way over the word limit. Then you can keep the good stuff.

Just saw that this was kind of a long time ago, so I guess I'm too late -- still, good film!

Hello! I think it´s fine to pass this on...I did well in this first assessment task and used the 1975 film Dog Day Afternoon. Substantial conceptual links can be made to Merchant if you view the gay bank-robbing protagonist in parallel with Shylock. Both are outsiders taking out aggression on...

Assuming its not a literal chase...then I guess a metaphor. Likening a romantic pursuit to a physical pursuit, which suggests the pain and effort associated with the emotional game of love.

does anyone know how many pages one booklet was?

Parallelism? Or you could talk about the way an abstract concept like 'the past' is being given object-like qualities through the use of proprietary language So 'the past' is no longer intangible and plural, its just one object that can be controlled and owned

Same!! I spent so much time mucking about between questions trying to get everything to lie flat...

Hello! This is the St Ursula's College trial question from this year: Evaluate how the representation of the complexities of individual and shared human experiences are illuminated in your prescribed text. It's a little wordy but it means precisely nothing so you can really write whatever...

completely legible

It's honestly not a huge obstacle to get over, so I don't want to be a downer, but I found it pretty illegible too. I got through about the first two lines of each picture smoothly. I think if someone was to go through it very slowly with a friend and a magnifying glass they would get to your...

hello I am really eager to read some of last year's high-scoring essays in the English advanced hsc, but I'm not sure where to find them. I know there is the NESA hsc workbook or whatever but I don't have any money. I wonder if anyone has a copy of it and could upload a photo or scan? or if...

The way our teacher has suggested we approach this one is to cover a group per paragraph, more or less. I don't think you need the first paragraph on the crash or the last paragraph on the new deal, because they don't directly correspond to this question. That way you can go into more depth. Bit...

why are people so negative? you're honestly fine if you plan your time. I'd say split the next few days into blocks. I've been getting up at 6 and then working till eight, for example, doing notes in that time. Then note revision in the library during recess and lunch, and then going straight to...
