    HSC 2017 Predictions/Preparation Thread [Biology]

    See, I'd personally be hesitant to name productivity as an ethical concern. My ethical positives would probably be something like "reduced need to use environmentally unfriendly pesticides" and "GM crops can be modified for growth in regions with poor soil quality, providing better access to...

    Epidemiology

    Yeah, I'm feeling that way myself, it hasn't been done in forever. And no, I've never heard of any explicit dates or studies being needed, just those points and lung cancer as a specific example and you should be fine :D

    Epidemiology

    I have a cool mnemonic which I use to remember the features of an epidemiological study: CCRIPS (pronounced like "crips") Correlation between exposure (to the suspected cause) and incidence of the disease Chronology - cause must come before the disease Repeatable - others should be able to...

    2017 HSC Mathematics Paper thoughts

    Woooooo, I totally screwed that one up. If I didn't have extra units I'd be in a bad state right now, damn. Only doing this crappy subject because of my parents anyway, I'm glad to be done with it.

    Biotechnology Option Scaling?

    Biotech is really rare and my school is one of the very few who do it - does anybody know how it usually scales compared to genetics and communication?

    HSC 2017 Predictions/Preparation Thread [Biology]

    For biotech I'm hoping and praying the 7-marker will be on ethics because it's the easiest part of the whole option. Last time they did it was 2014 so... perhaps?

    English Paper 1 - Thoughts

    Oh hey I used it for the 6-marker too... mainly because I hated the one about the bookshop. But yeah I said some bs about how the establishment of a child narrator/persona and emphasis on the meaningfulness of friendship (yeah the boys) positions the audience to perceive the discovery of all the...

    English Paper 1 - Thoughts

    Yeah well I used it. I guess it depends on how you were using it, like, what meaning you said it conveyed. I talked about how it was used to create a sense of frantic, childish playfulness which resonates with the opening line of "eight years old" It's a two marker anyway so you'd probably get...

    Yeah, I didn't mention the soccer goal in the 4-marker because it asked for language specifically, but I talked about it in the 6-marker. I honestly think they put it there to trip people up with the 'language' thing.
