one word for you... EXCEL these study guides exist for a reason, i cant recomend it enough. i used it last year and though you need to use other stuff if you are aiming for band 6 or something they are a brilliant startng place. best $40 you could spend. or if you cant afford it try your library.

there is no way around it, you have to know every single aspect of the sylabus. they are bastards and prone to focus in on one tiny dot point for a 7 mark question or something. also knowing what all the terms (ie analyse, discribe, evaluate) specifically mean is also vital. keep your answers...

what worked for me was making notes. i would go through notes from class and ones i had made myself whilst reading the texts in in some cases ones i has made while reading critical material. i would take all those notes and summarise and turn them into something more comprhensive. then i would...

i would suggest running through all the different sub-genres you can think of, psychlogical thriller, paraody, film noir, tart noir (female crime fiction) as well as soft and hard boiled and try and get an example of each of them. thats what i did anyway and i ended up with an E4 for this last year.

Just chose something you are very interested in and already know stuff about, your fav band, author, film genre or tv show and you will be able to crap on about it for ages, the 6th fundimental concept in soc and c

i had a similar experience, a friend was a die hard fan and always ranting on about her, but i was pretty indifferent, liked the radio songs ok, but nothing fantastic. then one day i was shopping and say 'under the pink' for $10 and thought it was a bit of a bargin and bought it. i played it on...

Just letting oyu know, SOR is actually kinda cool, i did no work for it (my teacher was crazy and didnt realise that students were meant to be in the class room for classes and i wasnt going to correct him) and ended up woth 92, it was very easy as long as you do some good cramming the week before.

I am soooooo excited. I am a live music virgin, i live in the country and am not yet 18 and have never seen a live act (besides the guy who makes balloon animals and sings in the shopping centre) So this will be the first time i see anything live. YAYAYAYAY!!FOO FIGHTERS!!! YAYAYAY!!! By the...

I kinda decided that i wanted to do secondary teaching cause that was the first thing the jumped into my head when all these stupid people who dont even know me suddenly decided it was there right to start telling me that i need to know what i want to do with the rest of my life.... I dunno, i...

just make sure that you look at what the syllabus says very closly, ie what you think i speech is and what they describe as a speech may vary slightly. so i would say use that document to make your decision. also watch the word count very carefully, i got mine confused last year and ended up...

my research included reading other authors ie after reading tom wintons 'the riders' i decided to play around with less traditional punctuation etc choosing a theme and exploring that ie mine was new years day so i looked at customs, the lyrics to auld lang syne and the U2 song and how it...

i have no comment aside from spetz recycles his jokes...how many vodka mobiles do you have....

I agree. Yey for the end of tyhe hsc, its wonderful etc and we should enjoy it. For me, part of that has been discussing the exams with people on this board, in some cases complaining as i didnt like the exams, in others discussing how good they were. I was able to answer the question about...

i really didnt like the globalisation one, it threw me, and i dont think i was able to demonstrate all my knowladge too well. My teacher (who is so incredibly sweet, she had a table witha cake, balloons and partypopers set up for us when we walked out) cried when she read the globalisation...

do you work for the BoS??? i think we are intitled to bitch, we have spent a year working hard (in theory) and talking/complaining about the exam is good closure.

yey, i am glad about the torens title one. i had congrigationalist too. i liked it better then the catholic trial, but i guess thats cause i studdied for this one and not the trial.

1 unit. hey, is two unit just the same but with a few extra topics?

Yeah, i noticed that too. I guess they either thought the exam was to shoet to allow us time to wrie more then 4 pages and/or any one who is stupid enough to take this course will be too stupid to write more then a couple of paragraphs! What did you have for the denomination which had the least...

I didnt mind it, anyone else have opinions?

social and cultural literacy is acchieved when a student can synathasise personal experience and public knowladge of the micro and macro world. Theres also a diagram in the syllabus which states all the stuff you are meant to be able to do, like empahise, take and interest in the world and...
