Unnecessary remark. I was trying to be helpful.

I do Biology. I have experienced it. Do you enjoy being rude to me? Do you try to find any reason you can to upset me? I have experienced the economy. I have experienced banks charging ridiculous ATM access fees, inflated interest rates and big business ripping off the little guy. I have...

It is difficult to ensure that all advice I give is accurate. I speak some Italian and am therefore qualified to do translations for other students. However, sometimes I mix words up or forget the meaning of a word. I realise that I have made mistakes when I look the words up in a bilingual...

The negative reputation points were for personal attacks (e.g. I called Anna 'Asian'). The advice I gave on scaling and aligning was either simplified or not advice. (Perhaps people should reconsider their definition of 'advice'.) Simplifying information often leads to mistakes being made. E.g...

I was not defending myself. I was defending the ability of some Year 11 students to talk about certain issues competently. I do not pass myself off as a business studies/economics expert in that thread, I merely imply that business and economics overlap, generally and in the HSC. This is what I...

I would like to rank first in the 2011 HSC mathematics cohort. I know that this is probably unrealistic. My goal for Year 11 is to rank in the top ten. I'm sorry. My school's principal and my mum have questioned why I do hospitality. Now I'm quick to defend it. I do like maths and I do enjoy...

I do Mathematics (2 Unit) too. You do MX2, don't you? Should I bother going beyond the course? Will it help me to do well? I'm beginning to enjoy maths, but I can't do the extension course unless I drop what is shaping up to be one of my favourite subjects (hospitality). Go ahead, laugh. Only...

It's a good course to do if you believe in contingency plans. It's only 1 unit worth of work. That's half the work of most subjects, as religion is not an extension course. E.g. Bob does 11 units: English (Advanced), Mathematics, Chemistry, Food Technology, PDHPE and Studies of Religion I. He...

I wouldn't repeat the course. I want a band 6 but I would be happy to achieve a high band 5. Unless you cheated (unlikely), you are obviously good at maths. You could take the HSC extension 1 course this year, or if you don't want 2 Unit to count take both the Mathematics Extension 1 and...

Religion=easy marks. 65% of students of Studies of Religion II at my schoolachieved either a Band 5 or a Band 6 (ie 65% of marks were >=80) in 2009 . I know it's early on, but so far Studies of Religion I is a breeze. Past students have said similar things. Jennie got a band 6 and said religion...

To Kill a Mockingbird is the set text for the Year 11 standard course at my school. I have read it for pleasure and yes, it is definitely an appropriate related text. Like Aerath said, describe and analyse the changing attitudes about race in the text. My set text is Tess of the d'Urbervilles...

Is uncovering fossils a part of the Life on Earth module? Or do you only get to learn about that if you study the Human Story?

Well, I did give away my full name, so that's understandable. I'm silly sometimes. Can the photos be seen now that I have deactivated my account? Anyway, am I ugly? Lol.

1) I have received positive reputation points for posts I have made about the HSC. 2) Not every single Year 12 student has had more experience than every single Year 11 student. Life doesn't work like that. Are you defining 'experience' as 'time spent studying'? Some Year 11 students are more...

Me too! Oh dear. Am I allowed to that, given that I'm in Year 11?

What's your favourite HSC commerce subject - business, economics or legal? I wasn't going to choose any of them, as commerce in Year 10 was yawn-worthy, but I chose law instead of PDHPE and now I love it! What made you choose all three commerce subjects? Are any of them yawn-worthy?

Please change your attitude. Year 12 students are not superior to Year 11 students. Some Year 11 students can give advice based on their experience of each subject. Yes, they may have only done two weeks of the course in school, but they may also have received advice from...

Isn't 97 achievable with any 10 unit set of board developed courses? I agree though - if he works consistently throughout the year 97 is possible. To get 97 he'd also need to perform very well on his exam days.

My school principal gave me the impression that it was very difficult to achieve a band 6 in the Hospitality Examination. I am also the only one doing Italian Continuers at my school, which means that the HSC examination mark I achieve will become my final HSC mark (unless how the HSC works...

Please elaborate. How? What pictures? Link? Did you laugh at the pictures? Please understand that I do have friends and family. They don't regularly feature in my FB photographs because I do not wish to infringe other people's privacy. How did you see it? Did I add you to my list? What...
