Can anyone ellaborate on how to structure an essay for this particular topic. I mean, is it prescribed text, then related text, another related text, then second idea - prescribed text, etc... I've looked at past essays varying in standard, but there seems to be some inconsistency with...

All i can say is just worry about yourself. I have tried with my follow peers, given them notes, and everything. If they want to achieve lower marks, then that is up to them. There's no point threating about the others, getting stressed and then bombing out yourself. You never know, they could...

lol, your worrying about potential band 6 students. Mate, i have been piped by a student (for 2nd) that only thrives on hand-ins, but bombs out in exams. I think i have something to worry about aha.

Bloody oath, i dislike them too. But 'Cem' mentioned earlier the positives and objectives of setting them, and in a different perspective I have to agree that in the end they reward different people who withhold mixed skills.

Yes that is true, and i see where your coming from. But the whole point of ranking people is for the exams, hence those who are higher ranked will usually attain better results. I just feel that it does some people injustice in that 50% of your mark, which ultimately comes from the exam is...

It varies mate. I have been burnt out ( way before my trials i was doing 4 hours every night, weekends all day even into 2 o'clock in the morning - I was very stupid in that regard), but it lasts a week or two before you just remember your goal and persist. When i say burn out, i still study but...

Because why should 50% of your mark be influenced by how others do. A lot of the schools, base their assessments on home assignments which then allows kids that will perform bad in tests, to get good results and thus the higher ranks. This will then screw those who are good at tests. Anyone can...

I know relatively little in regards to the process, but I have heard that anything above and below 0.5 will be rounded to the closest significant number. I think it's a good system, but I believe the way your final mark becomes influenced by others is a major flaw within the system. Just my...

Chin up mate, you'll be alright.

I thought last day for everyone across the state is next week, but are you in a private school? Because that makes sense if you are.

Im so glad school is over. I won't miss anything, certainly not the stress.

In Ancient i write pretty succinct, therefore i could get everything i need to say for the 10 marker within 1 page, and within the 15 marker 1.5-2 pages. If you need an indication as to how long you should spend on the 10 marker - look at the core for pompeii/herculaneum. Im planning 10-15...

When your teacher submits your ranks/ marks, etc. Will the Bos automatically calculate it themselves following the weighting guidelines given by the school? The reason i ask is; because each module weighs 25%, but i believe my teacher has stuffed up and included possibly 35% for a module...

Quite possibly. But i'd have to mention Biology as one. Honestly anything less than 90 is poor in that subject.

So for example say i recieve the same mark for English as the OP, will mine be aligned to the same as his - despite being at different schools?

You still have plenty of time OP. But me personally, i don't feel like i am currently doing enough, however in saying that i do about 2-3 per night, broken up and leisurely (I can't sit down for longer than 45 mins without getting fed up studying). I also try and use my lunch breaks as an...

How are you guys preparing for the HSC English exams? Should I be preparing a SOLO essay for each topic, and be continually getting it re-marked, or would it be more beneficial to bang out like 3 essays for each topic between now and the Exam?

Like what mate? Did the innocent people that died commit these 'supposed' war crimes? No. Secondly, its pretty much like saying the innocent muslim people in IRAQ/Afghanistan deserve to be killed. It is not there fault they lead by a bunch of extremists that have the mentality of medieval times...

Not really it is quite easy. And this is coming from someone who doesn't give English the time of day. Basically, discuss the playing god issue, how Victor conflicts with the Romantics ideas to convey the monstrosity of his actions. Secondly, possibly the idea of humanity and its meaning. How...
