From what I know, the answer is no (unless the entire cohort of a different topic/module scores lower, in which case everyone might get scaled up). Usually the board tries to make the different topic options/modules somewhat "equal" in difficulty level, although students may not feel this is the...

^ Not all, but definately most do. lol. I remember my english teacher (senior HSC marker) basically bashing us over the heads with the importance of synthesising texts. I still have the image of him standing in the doorway, emphatically stating "girls, you MUST synthesise!" *does the...

Whilst it's true that text-by-text responses can and have scored band 6's, many band 6 responses go by ideas (how many examplars did you look at? Don't just look at one year). Most HIGH band 6 responses will go by ideas. In Engligh Ext 1, you more or less have to go by ideas if you even want to...

This is more of a topic for open discussion, but I really want to know what other people think about this. As the 2006 hsc looms closer I'm becoming a bit more involved with hsc modderly things such as answering posts... let's ignore the fact that there's an ever increasing amount of...

I don't really buy from the high-fashion labels which fakes normally try to emulate, but generally I prefer to buy the real thing... you're pay for the quality you get... (and I like quality) That being said certain things are overpriced and the cheaper alternatives can rock :D (this normally...

This may have just been my school, but my grade didn't get along well as a whole. So by general consensus everyone went solo or picked a partner from outside - whichever would mean that the given group would have the most enjoyable evening. :)

ouchies be careful of that >.< I remember my english teacher throwing a huge tantrum when a bunch of us sent in essays masquerading as speeches or editorials. By all means it's better than nothing, but if you're aiming for a high band 6 be extremely familiar with the conventions of the...

^ Just to clarify, at best you can only go into english exams with partially prepared essays. They call "unseen questions" as such for a reason ;) (be prepared for a variety of mediums as well - you will likely only do one essay per english exam)

I don't get the whole Yr 11 studying for Yr 12 thing. You don't even know WHAT to study yet... :p

In a perfect world, everyone would have started typing up their study notes months ago, and have everything memorized precisely 2.3 weeks ago. However, few of us are perfect, so here’s some advice that came out of my own cramming session back in ’04. Enjoy! * dates and times being played with...

What worked for me was to do up a priority list, which took into account what REALLY NEEDED to be done vs which one would be coming first. I started out by creating a table in word much like a calendar, writing in which days I had exams. Then you look at all the pretty gaps you have. If you...

Maybe it's not too late to look at going by concepts rather than by text (you do 3U english, so I'm assuming you know how to go by concepts). *intro * topic 1 As explored in BNW blahblahblah Alternatively in BR blahblahblah * topic 2 In BNW it is seen that blahblahblah Similarly in...

there are so many nice 50s style day/cocktail dresses you could wear. Portmans has stacks at the moment...

move onto frontline for a bit if you're frustrated, otherwise knuckle down and learn how to effectively juggle the two texts now rather than later. You'll feel a lot better when you do :)

Text by text is wise if it's the only thing you know how to do and it's only a week or so off the HSC :p Otherwise, by concept is much better (and the norm once you hit uni). And yes. Eng Adv modules can be extremely stupid. :)

I'm in! :D

Don't try and "merge" eng ext 1 and eng adv together - there is a reason they are two completely different subjects!! The spec fiction module is entitled "Genre" for a reason, much the same way retreat from the global is under "Ways of Thinking" and so forth. They look at different things -...
