are there different ways that u should approach different types of essays? e.g. if an essay questions ask you: "all journeys have positive outcomes". do you agree? should u present both sides of the argument and come to a final conclusion, or should u present one side of the argument and...

i've heard that it's no good to go into an exam with a pre-prepared response, but is it wise to do that for q2 of the AOS? is it best to just memorise the basic shell of ur response and then adapt that to the question, whether it asks for a letter/short story/interview etc? or should u just make...

i know quality is more important than quantity, but roughly how long should responses for Q2 and Q3 (of the AOS paper) be? i looked at some exemplar responses, and they ranged from ~600-1400 - each of them got 15/15, so it's kind of strange. i want to hit the bulls eye - not going overboard...

should u always quote page numbers from novels in an extended response, in addition to the quotes themselves? if not, in what "text forms" would u actually quote page numbers? e.g. it would seem strange to quote page numbers in a speech or a feature article, but it may impress the marker in an...

suppose u put forward an argument in an extended response, as u always do. is the point of related material to support ur argument? or could it also be used as a contrast? e.g. topic for discussion is "all journeys have a reward at the end". would it be: a) interesting or b) stupid to include...

my handwriting is "messy and not very readable" according to my english teacher. i really need to improve it before the hsc next year. i've started trying to correct it, but what can i do to improve it? the worst thing would be if i went into the exam and had bad handwriting, and lost marks for...

i'm only in yr11, but it's getting closer to the beginning of my hsc year, so i want to get a head start. i know that u need to gather case studies for business studies, but: a) do u get one case study per topic? (i.e. 5 in total) b) where do u find unique case studies? c) can u do a case...

Suppose you have to solve: ln(2x+15)=2lnx then the only solution is x=5 since x>0 but suppose the equation was instead: ln(2x+15)=ln(x²) would there then be two solutions i.e. x=5 and x=-3? :confused:

searching through the multitude of texts available, how do u find related material that is both relevant and unique? (i.e. few other people using the same material).

i'm in yr11 right now, but i want to get started reading some extra material so that i don't have to spend ages searching for related texts next year. my question is though: how do u find related films/novels/poetry etc? u'd have to have watched stacks of films, read stacks of books and read...

i was just checking out the syllabus and prescribed texts for 2004-2006, and i noticed that the shakespeare for "powerplay" is antony and cleopatra. however, i was looking through a few past examples, and the prescribed text for "powerplay" was julius caesar. i'm probably a bit slow, but...

(or am i just being...

i was just wondering if anyone else gets out of an exam with shoulder pain(especially around the shoulder blades). it usually sets in around an hour into the exam and annoys me throughout. it kinda distracts me, so i want to stop it from happening. it may seem kinda trivial, but does anyone...
