probably arts (languages) at sydney.

i never got around to doing lazseeker using percentiles. however: lazseeker (just the normal one, with marks) = 99.60 my uai = 99.60 well done lazseeker. i know it's just a fluke, based on my subjects (4u maths, 4u english, 3u french, modern), but it made me laugh. after i got over the...

i think that the fact that these exams were relatively easy won't necessarily make it impossible to separate people, although they might be forced to do so in a different way. especially in subjects like english and history (and languages), those with a sound and perceptive understanding of the...

on the subject of the 4u maths teacher, just be aware of how much time this could end up taking from other subjects. my 4u maths teacher was awful - he spent all the time attempting to explain (badly) the concepts, which only confused everyone immensely. what this ultimately meant was that we...

"sometimes the best weapon is silence." hm. :/ mine wasn't anything special, some woman who got burnt to death in the paris metro (don't ask me where i came up with that), and it was the beginning of the interrogation of three suspects. meh. mostly, i just liked my characters - an aggressive...

yeah, i said that its enduring popularity was a result of its versatility, and the fact that composers constantly adapted it to respond to the audience's demands and values and stuff ... just your standard crime essay. but i said that in the tumultuous world of the 20th century, order out of...

lol. sigh. yeah. these things are just such a *good* way of procrastinating. hehe.

well, just anything really really left field or surprising. i'm not entirely sure. someone was talking about whether or not to use the big sleep if we get a "curly" question, and i was just wondering if anyone had actually seen any of these sort of "curly" questions. all the one's i've seen seem...

probably if you're unsure at this point, the idea would be to choose a sub-genre and go with it. make sure that you're aware of the audience, context, purpose for which you'd be writing, since most pure creatives that i've seen that ask for that. and yeah, well, as well as testing your amazing...

what's the worst/scariest/most impossible analytical question that you have seen? i've seen a big variety with the creatives, but all the essay questions are starting to look very similar. has anyone seen one that is truly distressing?

okay, well, the basic starting point for almost all crime fiction questions is quite simple. you look at the conventions of the crime genre. i think they're around in another post somewhere, stuff like the detective, the crime, the accretion of evidence, the sense of mystery and suspense. there...

hm, well, i disagree with jellymonsta about the big sleep. it's true that for some questions it's not as flexible, but for others it works a lot better. it's worthwhile knowing all three texts, because they're all extremely useful depending on the question that we get. the big sleep is good...

the essay isn't tricky, i love the essay. i may be a freak. the creative could go either way, our trial one was gross, but i've seen others that are okay. for crime fiction, it's worthwhile looking at the whole thing as one big long contimuum, and then you can make links between texts...

it's easy: read and write. that's all you do. keep track in your journal, and set yourself realistic goals that make sure you stick to. as in, have a first draft done by the end of this term, and a second by the end of the next, not huge things, but enough to keep it under control. i think i...

yeah, that's the kind of stuff they're looking for. i also researched some stuff generally on form and writing, since i didn't write a particular genre. so i looked at a huge amount of short stories, and analysed them in my journal like i would for any english text, and also i wrote down whether...

um, well, it seems a long time ago now. i don't really remember finding it hugely stressful to be doing 14 units, but history extension started to seem daunting, on top of the workload that i already had - like an extra two units, rather than just one. one of the other big things too was that...

both could be great, it depends on where your strenght lies. i did a short story/novella, because i wanted the variety, and also because i figured i'd get enough analytical writing in my other subjects. if you're considering doing a critical response, have a look at that little book of good...

hi, well, you seem to have already made your decision, but i just thought i'd add in my little bit here. i did 4u maths and 4u english, and i stuck with both of them to the end (unless i make a last-minute decision to switch to the 2u maths paper tomorrow, which apparently could be done). i...

i didn't like the frontline one much. the question didn't suit the answer. i didn't write anything like 12 pages, and it was probably the worst of my modules ones, but better than area of study. i don't remember what i used for my change letter - i think the writer of one of my pieces of related...
