    General Thoughts: Australian History, Geography, Civics and Citizenship

    Unfortunately that is not the case. A large portion of the state will recieve band ones. However if you are still better than a large majority of the state you will be scaled up and you will recieve a higher mark. If you do get band ones in everything though you will still most definitely move...

    General Thoughts: Australian History, Geography, Civics and Citizenship

    Guys, dont go kissing your band 5's and 6's away just yet! The markers in the marking centres use scaling. They look at everybodys responses and if everyone has typically done bad they move 5's into 6's and 4's into 5's. This years exam was rather difficult and was not what was to be expected...

    General Thoughts: Australian History, Geography, Civics and Citizenship

    Well that sounds perfect if you related it to it being a human rights issue because their rights to blah blah blah were defied. Good job!

    General Thoughts: Australian History, Geography, Civics and Citizenship

    Aboriginals may have worked if you were clever. However I somehow dont think its what they are really looking for. Aboriginals previously had their human rights defied with assimilation and the stolen generation etc etc. but this was already solved with self determination and reconciliation etc...

    Not neccessarily but they are good topics to talk about. Basically all you were being asked was what problems there are in todays society regarding peoples human rights being defied and how you could solve this. Elderly people would have worked If you have talked about an elderly persons human...

    Did I fudge up my English extended response?

    Do not worry. I think it is fine. Your story does not have to revolve around the key! The stimulus acts as a springboard for your response, you do not have to directly talk about the key and can use it metaphorically. For eg. you could tell the story of someone trapped within themself. This may...

    Did I fudge up my English extended response?

    You certainly have NOT stuffed up your extended response. As long as the story was engaging, imaginative and used a great variety of techniques you will be fine. The markers are well aware that you only have 40 mins to construct a response. They are not expecting a story with the great depth of...

    General Thoughts: Australian History, Geography, Civics and Citizenship

    I like the sound of that question. Australia's treatment of the refugees would have worked perfectly, being a current problem in Australia. death penalty and the child sex trade wouldv'e worked well too.
