I'm pretty sure all exams were finalised before Covid was serious. Like very early in the year. We shall see. Hopefully something in trial process. There's a lot of recent cases for that area.

Ooh. Nice! Glad to see I'm not the only person not memorising full essays

Just a general question, are you guys memorising full essays or scaffolds?

Courts would be rather weird. I was thinking more: Charge negotiation, defences (partial, complete, different types), juries. Oh well, I've already sacrificed like half my memory to Legal anyway :/

The final question is probably going to be a scaffolded formal proof of a known mathematical identity, except this time they will emphasise the pain of inequalities. Maybe one of the many ways of proving e or pi or some mathematical constant is irrational.

Predictions we got/the top people predicted for us were: 1. Trial Process, possibly quite narrow (i.e. juries or defences particularly) 2. Young Offenders, or possibly a cross with alternative sentencing 3. Sentencing and Punishments, with a specific theme on punishments, stances on...

Wow... respect. That's like... 4-5 essays at least to tackle any q right? I basically memorise paragraph scaffolds.

Do you memorise essays as prep?

I'm basically preparing for everything, except for post-sentencing. If we get that, time to write a purely theoretical essay.

I was thinking more punishments, but fair enough. But given their track record of just randomly repeating the same dot point (2016 and 2017) everything's possible.

Potentially: Something narrow about the criminal trial process which isn't the worst: Defences, Juries or something about balancing the rights of offenders, victims and the needs of society with reference to charge negotiation/defence/jury. Something more difficult: How effective penalties...

I could only do q10 with a brute force approach/ I'd never get this and there's probably a better way I can't think of right now. So: 1\cdot (n\cdot n), n\in\{2, 3, 4, 5, 6\} \Rightarrow 3\cdot 5=15 different permutations. Now, let's consider all the square number that are available: 1, 4, 9...

As Greninja340 says above, Your LCMI should be more concise. Like, briefly state a measure that has taken place, the evidence, and why it matters. I've seen people who have 4-5 LCMI per paragraph (3 in total) and stay under 1.4k. A full mark essay is based on your legal knowledge and judicious...

Grand narratives refer to ideas, stories or concepts that dominate a particular era or time. Something like how the victors who write history often have their stories heard more than the losers of a war. The victor's version of events can be considered a grand narrative. I'm not sure what texts...

Agreeing with Adamconnor12, your intro is not a proper introduction. You make a vague judgement about its effectiveness, and should probably elaborate a bit more on what exactly the shortfalls/successes are beyond just stating the areas you are going to argue. Also, as you are arguing it has...

Some schools, usually private schools hire external markers to mark their trials to simulate the HSC marking. Although I haven't particularly heard of any company which specialises in external marking, I know private schools often form boards of markers (per subject) made up of people who mark...

We got taught Python and VB.Net. Some classmates also decided to self-learn C# and C++ for their major project. If you ever want to do GUI stuff, Python isn't the best language for that. But it does quite well for ML stuff.

Yeah that's a good way to revise.

Hello again. I actually made it into NSB, but that was when I took the test for year 11 so whilst I don't know how difficult it will be for your test, I can give a rough outline of what to expect. For maths, expect harder questions than Normanhurst. But NSB seems to like testing mathematical...

From my experience, at least year 9 and 10. But I suspect it is like that for all since short answer more comprehensively tests your English skills than multiple choice questions. Tbh, this is the standard line all schools says, regardless of what the test is actually about. Obviously, they...
