Honestly, my favourite way of memorising quotes was pretty much writing out a whole list of them, and then looking and reciting them a few times first thing in the morning, one or two times in the middle of the day, and then a few times before I went to sleep. I know it doesn't work for some...

quick and economic?

Jimmy summed it up pretty well. I know people tend to do well with memorising essays, but for me, I feel that it does make you more susceptible to errors or mistakes as opposed to memorising a few quotes, analysis/facts and potentially a broad thesis that you can adapt to the question you're...

Just to preface what I'm about to say, I didn't do history extension, but I'm just gonna use the same logic I applied for modern history in this context instead. I tended to avoid using first-person because I felt that it made everything seem too casual, but I feel that the example you gave...

as long as you're not agreeing that Stalin was responsible for the Civil Rights movement, you should be good lmao

I'd say just practise HSC and trial papers, and make sure you're marking them or have another person/teacher to have a look over them for you. If there's any part that you're consistently getting incorrect, reference your textbook or online sources so that they can break them down for you. Not...

Yeah you don't need to say x was majorly responsible for y, but i would recommend agreeing to the question even if it is only to a minimal extent. This allows you to discuss point x in para 1 and explain why it was/wasn't responsible for xyz, and then discuss why your more relevant points (i.e...

You just add all the costs from the previous year together to determine the break-even point, and divide it by 10 to figure out how many tickets needed to be purchased to break-even

All come down to perspective. I'd personally see it as significant, but I don't think my ATAR was defining. Feel my ATAR overstated how smart I am lmao

Defining someone's character solely on the basis of academics, namely the HSC, is frankly very ignorant. There are more aspects to one's character than simply just having the ability to memorise and apply quotes into essays, or formulae into questions. Achievements don't always have to be as...

I still remember the shock I had when I first saw this one on my paper lol. My approach to this one was fairly straightforward: Intro: 3/4 sentences demonstrating the significance of both texts in regards to how they reflect your understanding of why literary worlds are composed --> I.e. does...

no worries. good luck with it

Combinations --> There are 52 cards in the deck, and 5 need to be picked out. No. of potential combinations is 52C5 which is 2,598,960. In seeing this, we can figure out that you can get 4 aces in 48 different ways because, assuming you get all 4 aces as your first 4 cards, there are 48 other...

37. Moving Average is pretty much the average price paid for all units that the business has from 1st September to 27th: (5 x $200) + (5 x $240) + (3 x $260) + (6 x $200) = $4180 To find the average price paid per unit, you divide the $4180 by the number of units purchased/owned over the month...

If you haven't already, run through both Paper 1 and Paper 2 from the 2019 HSC today to make sure you can apply your quotes/ideas to different questions. If you've already run through a bunch of papers, just read through your quotes + ideas and relax! Stay calm and good luck!

bullshit

Both are useful tbh. French is more useful for Middle-Eastern, African and some European countries like Belgium, whilst Spanish would probably be more useful for Central/South America and the US. Just depends which you prefer. In regards to learning Italian, I feel that learning Spanish first...

Latin would 100% help you with Italian as Italian is actually based off Latin. To be honest, I would recommend keeping Italian Beginners as, based off what my mate had told me, it is relatively easy to get good marks. I did Italian continuers which was definitely a bit of a challenge, but I felt...

You don't need a resolution, but you need to find a way that you can 'round up' the story. If you look up a few short stories, they can give you some ideas as to how to conclude a piece of writing. My creative pieces always tended to sway me to use some sort of religious motif/extended metaphor...

Simple storyline just means a story that is easy to follow and understand without going to a thousand different settings and using a thousand different characters. Voice refers to the tone used in the story. E.g. if you're writing from a first-person perspective of a wise old man, your choice of...
