What did you get last year? How did you feel you went because I have no idea how to gauge how i'll go
i got 88 which was in the 95th percentile if i remember correctly.
but honestly dont stress if you feel that you did bad because i walked out of there thinking i actually failed, but ended up doing alright
what were the questions?

i think it was quite good
i wrote gibberish
but i hope they like gibberish
the e-scooter thing i didnt know what to write for weaknesses tho
what u write?
Oop, I said it was mostly weak because it appealed to emotions and only used one evidence that directly tied to its argument. I said it was strong in persuading its audience as it draws on the vulnerabilities through personal anecdotes and vivid imagery. But yea,h i said he lacked credibility and support from statistical evidence. I also said how his prioritisation of simplicity over saftey was questionable

can any past graduates give stories of how they were completely cooked for english right b4 hsc and ended up getting 80+
i was so ass at eng, rank was horrid (cant remember exactly but i remember for trials i cried in class coz i got like 69% and my rank for that trial was in the bottom 50%)

anyway for the hsc I tried perfecting my essays and memorised a base general essay for every mod and I memorised a few extra quotes just in case, and for short answer (I was actually so ass i always failed that at school or got lower than avg) I kept on practicising with other school/trial/hsc papers and would cmpare my answer with the sample answer and see the difference/take note of what I was missing

I ended up getting an 85 so yeah not as great as what others have gotten here but I think it was way better than what I was expecting

Did you argue against the second? And I have no idea what i'll get like its so hard to predict, I felt maybe I did better on section one when reading over it, but when I was writing I felt better about section two

I am so COOKED for chemistry. I'm so scared.
is it just me or was the hype of chemistry being "high scaling" a complete lie? if rawmarks.info is right then the b6 cutoffs are consistently around the very high 80s; and it seems like somehow english advanced scales better.

also im making the dumbest mistakes all the time, and im so done with bloody mod 8

LITERALLY THO?? like wdym bio scales better...wdym I can't let scaling carry

chem seems to be the only subject where somehow every time I do a paper I've never seen any of the questions before, like I get it's supposed to be application of knowledge but please where are my free marks

There's a difference between scaling and alignment, though!

Alignment is what transforms your raw mark into your HSC mark
Scaling happens when they calculate your aggregate from all your HSC marks

Chem scaling is still pretty good iirc, but the alignment is just ok, especially for higher marks

nah i only wrote about why that policy should be implemented
cos it only asked for one side??
Oh yeah, I did against so I just argued that side. But I did include somewhat of a counterargument by discussing why I think their fears are valid. But I saw that it was ultimately a human issue (as this is simply a fictional recreation of the problems on fraser island), rather than an animal issue and that the policy would provide an only an immediate and short-term benefit to a long-term struggle.

guys I'm bored, do you think if I posted a thread as to how (to the best of my knowledge) to use ATAR calculators effectively and accurately as well as when/how to ask for predictions it would be useful
