Aye, I do 14u, top 20 school, expected >99 Ee1 is easy work + predictable exams :P Try it out for a while and you might like it better this year, personally I found y12 was waaaayy better/easier than y11 (which I hated). Quite a bit of work in eco yeah, but if you're very good, you should keep...

Not enough unless it's tiny writing. Quantity matters in the sense that you need to cover a substantial amount of theory + context. It's like english, how often would you get a 20/20 for a 3 page response (assuming average handwriting)? Board of Studies expects ~800 words/6 pages. You can get...

Pretty much everything. Do your own research for stats/context. I just read through (didn't even bother memorising) dixon before trials (the whole thing) since I was running out of time as well, managed to rank 2. Just make sure you understand everything as you read it. Oh, practice essay...

Me :P (hopefully?) Too many subjects. Aced trials, 8u worth of subjects rank 1-4 in a rank ~20 school Not so much worried about externals as my internal mark haha, seeing as I bombed an assessment here and there :P Just hoping it will align reasonably upwards!

nah i make stupid mistakes no matter how slow or fast I go, so it's better to go faster the 1st time and check the 2nd time lol especially since i panic if i reckon i might not finish the paper or figure something out in time (usu I start panicking if I'm only starting or mid-way through q5 and...

100% agreed :p

latin has shit scaling once you hit the low-b6s equivalent raw mark since the cohort is tiny a reported mark of 90 latin is pretty much equivalent scaling to a reported mark of 78 in mx1 ye want to be aiming for higher

lol this thread well tbh some of the bos exemplar responses look almost printed if not for the slanted writing esp the maths ones so if it got full marks it'd probably be in the running for a printout rather than a call physically impossible tho unless the person wrote like 1 word on their sheet

yeah if you're running out of time def read dixon, concepts are more clearly set out/easy to understand

Well for example, in my trials I talked about rainforests (e.g. atmosphere: warm, moist conditions which speed up growth and decay, hydrosphere: high rainfall), reefs, polar etc. You can talk about anything really; dune, alpine, wetlands, tundra. The more you use, the more you can actually show...

np have fun preparing :P

New question: Outline an appropriate fiscal and monetary policy mix to the government to achieve internal and external balance in the short to medium term (4 marks) dot points or w/e is fine

:P I don't write any essays for eco, just wing/think about them. Depending on the exact question, there are possibly two different ways I would consider taking, but ultimately I think it's just easier for me to separate it into the different kinds of microeconomic reform i.e. P1...

rofl p.s. the cut-off's gone up every year in the last several... ff lol hard if it goes up again

i think paper 2 is aligned against how well the state cohort does in paper 1 something like that

rofl

not sure what is included in the 'etc' part but other components include labour, trade, infrastructure policy, and to an extent taxation/welfare although that can be linked to fiscal efficiency, productivity and international competitiveness should be the 3 main concepts.

rofl pretty sure I screwed the cicero unseen + grammar mid-high 90s would be enough for a state rank in latin

It's not just showing off? Some people want to pursue music or art or fencing or whatever in their spare time and by going to a private school it makes it easier to have access to those kinds of facilities -> some people want to be all-rounders and generally its easier to do so if you go to a...

Easy paper/question, people complain others can go in with prepared responses. Normal paper/question, people complain it's not challenging enough. Bitch paper/question, people complain it fucks people over because they aren't prepared. bos: /rq
