Excellent read, keep it in perspective guys. This goes to students getting the highest ATARs as much as the ones receiving ATARs below than expected.

Congratz!, a highly commendable effort!

Do what works for YOU. I have heard of this study technique to memorize essays

Yep, if you're a humanities/English person then definitely go for it, you got nothing to lose :)

Depending on the context anything from around 2007 can be relevant....

Excellent Notes!

Awesome notes!

Go with the HSC marker they tend to be more objective in their marking whereas everyday school teachers have their take on a text and if you disagree with them, you may get penalized.

This, at the school level just sulk up to what your teacher wants. You can start experimenting once it comes time to the actual HSC.

Lol, analogy wise, first assessments are warm ups to a sporting match, half yearlies are about 1st quarter, then yearlies are half time and the last few minutes are the HSC :)

Just remember guys this is your last real holidays so make sure to get some much needed R & R before the long road ahead next year. If anything I would suggest reading your English texts, start reading ahead in some of your textbooks and get ahead (even just a chapter or 2) in maths.

In terms of content they might be of some use but in terms of the HSC I doubt senior lecturers/PHDs can understand what kind of simplicity is required for the HSC..

Definitely success, focus on your positives and don't dwindle on your negatives...

Teachers may decide to simply stop reading after the 800 word limit, in which case they might miss out on critical closing statements, conclusion etc...

HSC questions are the best. If you really think about it, most of them are in some forms reshaped/re-worded in some form or another!

Most short answer are worth more than 1 mark, so you will get partial marks if you are partially right, i.e. have pointed out some techniques, analysis and quoted something from the text.

Extremely suitable!

Choose a course which you are truly interested in and not one which you are forced to do...

Re: The p00n thread +1, true

You're risking it with 10 units if you bomb out in one of your tests and 14 is a bit too many. So I would recommend 11-13, that was you have some sort of insurance in case something doesn't go your way.
