That's just the vibe that's given off.

ATAR is barely relevant to your life. It makes your first year of uni slightly less stressful because you won't have to transfer but that's it.
That's so true, but your aim is 42.95, what will that get you into?

How much words approx for 9 page if it was generic
I usually write 150 words a page, but I think I wrote a bit more spaced out than usual, so maybe 130 words per page? So 1170 words per essay.

Honestly I don't have much of a clue though.

I did 9 pages for each module and so did loversinjapan, it's possible.
Font must be huge, roughly how many words per line?

Thank fuck they didn't specify speeches
Breakdown of my speeches predicaments
1. Rule out suu, bandler, (2011/2012)
2. Rule out pearson (similar issues as bandler)
3. Rule out atwood (past two years were female voices)
4. Rule out deane (ain't nobody got time for that sht)
5. Potentially sadat (but was about time for a shorter speech)
6. Potentially keating (anniversary, doesn't fulfil the above criteria)
7. Don't specify to encourage little shts like me in guessing the speech next year. Ie discouraging rote-learning. So essentially next year's students won't just be covering two of the speeches like me. They will be forced to cover most of them.

Year 11/12 is completely and utterly stuffed next year. They can probably still rule out Suu Kyi or Bandler but they will have no clue what BoS will throw at them. I think however they won't specify

I write approximately 200 words a page. So Mod A would've been about 1000 words, Mod B was 700, Mod C was 800.

what poems did everyone use for harwood? i used a valediction (explores relationship of the persona and her lover and how the feelings for the relationship endures even though she lost him, and then maturation happens over time and how she moves into a better place after the maturation bla bla) and then mother who gave me life (mother child relationship, endures even though mother dies, passage of time causes mother to die and persona talks about the last time and place they were together bla bla)

The Board of Studies are so cruel for their specification of speeches.

By the way, this year's question kind of ruled out a couple of speeches and limited you to talking a few of them only.
