    Band 6 cut off (raw mark)

    Same... I spend way too much time on small 2-3 marker questions...leaving me no time for one 5 marker which I completely skipped :(

    Band 6 cut off (raw mark)

    What do you think a raw mark of 75-81 get me? Is that enough for band 6 this year since the exam was hard? If not, what do you think the band 6 cutoff will be for this year?

    What raw marks do you think you got?

    Section 1, Part A - Multiple Choice

    yer... but just by saying 'To remove water from the fish' does not translate into excreting most of the water... It is a bold statement just meaning that the fish would remove all the water....If the BOS had put a keyword such as large or copious then A would've been right. BOS really needs to...

    Section 1, Part A - Multiple Choice

    I put B saying that to absorb salt from the environment. Option A sounded too vague saying that to remove water from the fish.... Obviously how much??? If you remove all the water from the fish... its going to die through dehydration??! Option B sounded alright... saying that to absorb salt...

    Cut off

    I believe that the band 6 cut off for this years paper would lie between 76-78/100. Band five would be about 64-67/100.

    General Thoughts: English Advanced Paper 2

    Section I and Section III were alright, however Section II was difficult as I didn't study for Bandler's prescribed speech. Having said that, most of the students in my cohort found the speeches to be difficult and I guess the state would too... so I hope we get scaled up in comparison to other...

    Anyone got 2 exams on one day?

    Yes. Biology and Information Processes and Technology this friday. I'm just worried that I would get RSI after the exams.... as my hands were killing me just after english paper 1. I wonder how I would survive two theory subjects which require a lot of writing...fml. :/

    General Thoughts: English Paper 1 (AOS)

    What do you think a band 6 cut off for paper 1 would be? So what mark should we be aiming for out of 45 in order to be in a position for band 6.

    General Thoughts: English Paper 1 (AOS)

    I think the test was fairly simple but the problem with me was the issue of time management. In the creative writing, I think I nailed it as my pre-prepared creative was about a boy and his grandparents who lived near a lake... I was very happy with this section!! :D should get 12+/15 as the...

    Is 850 words each english advance essay enough for me to get full marks?

    What I've been told is that a minimum of 900 words is required for a standard 'advanced english essay'. All my essays range between 900-1000 words and I only managed to write about 920-950 words for each in the trials. However, I have heard of people who wrote about 850-880 words that got an...

    I'm not that desperate, the point was to express my concerns for these exams. I believe SORII (Studies of Religion) and Japanese Continues exams are not as hard as Bio and IPT on the same day. Both exams are 3 hrs each (adding to 6 hrs of extensive writing and thinking on the day), where else...

    English Adv Paper 1: 15/10 English Adv Paper 2: 17/10 Biology and IPT: 19/10 Maths: 22/10 Chemistry: 06/11 I'd say a good timetable if you discard the date for Biology and IPT. I have atleast a day off between all my exams and have been given a solid amount of time for Chemistry. However, two...

    I have Biology and IPT on the same day (19/10). I wrote a letter to the BOS expressing my concerns and persuading them to change the exams to two different days. I know there's a lot of other people also doing IPT and Biology. I also encourage you all to write to the board so that they shift the...
