    Raw mark cut off for English advanced band 6

    It can be as low as ~75-78... Can't say anything about this year though....most probs will be in the 80s since Paper 1 was really easy and Paper 2 was kinda hard (imo atleast) but not that hard...
  2. Mr Hippopotamus

    How many WORDS did you write, not some bs pages that could be any size font?

    If you get a question that is totally unrelated to your "generic essay" (like 2 out of 3 essays for me today)...then you ending up modifying your essay so much that it looks nothing like your original essay e.g. my frankenstein and hamlet essays today looked NOTHING like what I had prepared...

    Frankenstein/Blade Runner Essay

    @coreyman210_ That was just two of my paragraphs...that was my problem! I felt like that's what the question asked, but I also felt it wasn't enough > hence my OP @Bubblegum77 Ever since I got told off by my teacher for not using the question in my essays...I always use the words of the...

    Got a band 4 in English what are my chances now?

    He told his rank in English as 5/27 Now @OP: 73-75 in Adv. English would probably scale to a mid to high Band 5... You're first in Chemistry...so you've got every chance to get a Band 6... Economics also scales well...so that's good... Maths also scales alright...so try your best in it and try...

  6. Mr Hippopotamus

    How many WORDS did you write, not some bs pages that could be any size font?

    Count how many words I wrote? I'd rather go watch some paint dry.

    Cloudstreet

    *defibrillates* I'm reviving this thread... I feel bad for dead threads...especially when it has no posts... Come on! Some one must have done Cloudstreet in the state!

    did i just dun goofed?

    @OP I did something similar in my trials.....I was doing a related text for belonging, when I wrote POLAND in it somewhere (from Skrzynecki), and so the sentence didn't make sense....my teacher circled it and put a big quesion mark....haha

    50th gate for module C

    I found Fiftieth Gate the easiest...followed by FrankenRunner....and Hamlet just killed me...I wasn't prepared well for it anyway...and on top of that the question was hard...

    Frankenstein/Blade Runner Essay

    Bro, you're words are such a confidence-booster...thanks. I had been feeling so bad about my exam... (Whenever anyone says "you nailed it", it just boosts my confidence)

    Regrets of Picking Certain Subjects

    > Should've done IPT instead of Economics. > Having chosen Economics, shouldn't have dropped it. > Should've worked harder in 3unit maths. > Shouldn't have taken SDD so easy.

    Physics and Chemistry Help needed

    This late in the year, what you should do is LOOK AT PAST PAPERS. You will find that there are some common types of questions that keep coming up... At the end of the day, the whole point of Physics/Chemistry is BEING ABLE TO WRITE AN ANSWER... My Advice: Do questions, and answer them by...

    Frankenstein/Blade Runner Essay

    I talked about the ambitions of: > Shelley/Scott > Victor/Tyrell > Creature/Roy (I said The Creature's ambition was to get a partner, but then his ambition became to destroy Victor's life...I just bullshitted that part, I don't even know why I said that)

    Frankenstein/Blade Runner Essay

    How did people write a decent length essay without even mentioning context?! I don't get that...

    english wtf moment

  16. Mr Hippopotamus

    any hope for decent atar after this catastrophe?

    If you're even half-decent at 4U at Physics...you're well and good...
  17. Mr Hippopotamus

    Frankenstein/Blade Runner Essay

    Yeah but, what was tripping me out was the fact if you take away the context...that's half the material gone... I just felt I couldn't talk about Tyrell/Victor's ambition alone...I felt like it needed mention of context...so I linked it to ambition somehow... I don't care...I'm right!!!
  18. Mr Hippopotamus

    Frankenstein/Blade Runner Essay

    So what I did was I used all the context stuff and I said how the the author's ambition was to reflect that context. Did anyone else do that? Or is it just me? (I did of course talk about Tyrell/Victor and Creature/Roy as well...just not sure whether I linked the context correctly...)

    Scanned Paper

    I'm sensing they might have excluded ESL.... There's no shortage of sub-conscious racism in this country....
