    3 hours a night is not enough!

    I probably took a slightly different approach. If my homework was a handin task, then i'd do it, but for the majority of homework that i was given (which was just answering questions or whatnot and discussing in class the next lesson) i didn't do it and just made sure that i knew what we were...

    so...? crime fiction module A

    As i said there was no one interpretation of the question - Your interpretation is on the money as well as the ones who took it other ways. that's what i didn't like about the essay, the fact that it could be interpreted in a few different ways. as long as you were able to justify it and...

    Anyone else finish today after English Ext?

    Do you have a really good feeling insid of you... because i thought i'd actually be more excited than this that i finished. but it just feels like another exam is done, and im still in exam mode. maybe when i sign out i'll feel more excited that i never have to study that stuff again!

    so...? crime fiction module A

    i actually thought it was quite difficult. having different 'angles' left the door open ajar for interpretation, so should be interesting for the essay. but yeah it couldnt have been an easier stimulus for the story!

    CRIME FICTION- my last hope!

    and if in doubt at the end, or you have 30 seconds to go and haven't solved the crime... leave a few lines and write "the butler did it" =D

    General Thoughts: Modern History 2008 HSC Exam

    Re: Howd you find it? I agree it was alot to talk about in 45 mins.... but wasn't the question about the impact of the strategies... that led me to talk about which strategies on both sides had the greatest impact and which ones failed, leaving out those middle ones. tbh it was a VERY broad...

    PLEASE explain what t historiography junk entails??

    i do trotsky too, but i doubt you will get asked a historiography question again like they did when they asked a couple of years back "balanced interpretation of personality etc". there was a big outrage by students and staff about that question because it disadvantaged those who didn't do ext...

    What would a raw mark of 70/120 move up to??

    in the past (2001 or 2002 can't remember), 73/120 raw mark has been the cutoff for band4/5 EDIT: to be exact: In 2003, a raw mark of 73/120 was aligned to 82%, and 65.7/120 was aligned to 79%. keep in mind though that was 2003. will differ this year

    General Thoughts - Legal Studies

    i agree. global was always my best so i was actually really annoyed that they gave us those two questions because i reckon everyone will do pretty well in that... hahaha would've been nice for an extremely hard one! I assumed that most of the candidature would have done b) because that was...

    General Thoughts - Legal Studies

    piss easy in my opinion... but depends on the focus studies i guess... one of ours was global environment and that was the easiest freaking set of questions i've ever seen... before my exam, i was aiming for 90+... after i reckon i have a good chance at: 20 - L&S/HR 25 - Crime 23 - Family 25...

    Anyone wanna take a wild stab at the question for Harwood???

    in 2004/05 they asked for three though. they can ask you for two or three poems, and they technically CAN ask you to use specific poems (which would be sooo bad)... tbh i agree that a context question may arise this year.. because in the last 3 years they have asked about emotions, themes...

    Hypothetical situation - 20% overall internal mark

    your internal mark has nothing to do with it... its your rank. say you are ranked 5/5, and your 5 exam marks together form 100, 99, 98, 97, 96, then your 20% becomes 96 because you are ranked 5th/last
