+1 It's near impossible to make me angry, but omg. I felt my temperature rise. I don't care who gets what mark; it's no indication of how successful they are as a human being. :vcross:

So happy to end on a good note. That first section...I couldn't have written the questions better. Dear BoS - Thank you. THANK YOU. Even the essay questions weren't too bad...weren't as praiseworthy as the first section, but still...managable. A very, very kind exam which was much appreciated!

Finished this afternoon, after I gather all my books to sign out tomorrow I'm going to adjust my resume to start handing out after that. No rest for the wicked :)

Don't be scared, the rubric dot points were changed ever so slightly, and by reading between the lines most teachers and members from BOS (I rang the advice line about it, lol) interpreted it to mean less focus on other interpretations, more on your own. That's not to say that you write "I think...

I did Hamlet. In it I mentioned context, and how its reception varied slightly for a contemporary audience, but I didn't focus on films at all, or other stage productions; after the rubric changed, there was more focus put onto our own interpretations, instead of others. I think I may have...

Aww, that's really nice, thanks! To all you up and coming HSCers, I hope you took advantage of your last school holidays ever, from now on you're going to have to focus 24/7 if you don't want to be freaking out this time next year. Hey, I did and I'm still freaking. 24 sleeps! :jaw: And...

Not to sound like a broken record, but I can't choose my subjects either, even though I've had it all set up and working beautifully before.

The rule of thumb is that you improve 15% from mid course exams to trials, and then a further 10% from trials to HSC, with hard study. Then again, m pretty sure my mid course exams were better than my trials...

Ditto.

1. Society and Culture 2. Ancient History 3. History Extension 4. English AOS 5. English Modules 6. English Extension 7. Biology I think. History Extension is a hard one to place. It could be number one, or number seven, I never know how I do until I get the marks, lol.

OMG. those posts were the most excruciating things I have ever read, and I've read a few shockers of books over my 13 years of schooling, spesh in Extension English. As in, I felt sick to my stomach. I didn't feel relieved at ALL handing in the PIP, I feel worse now about it now than in the...

I understand exactly what you meant, I cried at the end of the movie cos I thought "how on earth am I meant to discuss this when it makes no sense??? There goes my HSC!!!" Basically I did the same thing though when I found out that our teacher took the dicator, totalitarian option of forcing...

Lets make T-Shirts :haha:

My God. You just wrote the story of my life.

I'm struggling to write a essay on Hamlet for class, and i was wondering if everyone/anyone could list a few traits of a tragic hero: Example - having a fatal flaw. the essay asks us to discuss how Hamlet's soliloquies enhance our understanding of him as a tragic hero, so as you can see I'm not...

This is basically the fundamental question for my history extension project, as it falls under the dot point "an interdisciplinary approach to the study of history of a personality, issue or event". I'm incorporating some of the methodologies I've learnt in Society and Culture, and plan to focus...

Has anyone noticed that there are no notes on this Option from the syllabus? I'm planning on writing my own summaries, but i thought i could at least check with some from here, but i can't find any! Anyone know if there are any? Thank you to PwarYuex for pointing put my mistake. I'm sorry I...

The Twilight series (I've read the first three, waiting for the fourth to be available at Library) seems to essentially tell a interesting story which conveys many universal themes, particularly in regards to love, however is done in a very basic way. The Harry Potter series has depth and...
