    General Thoughts: EE1

    Textual Dynamics was largely what I was expecting, and by the end of the exam that two hours had flown past! Essay: Quite broad and multiple aspects to discuss; features, form, ideas, experience, act of reading. It all tended to flow together however so I think that overall it went down pretty...

    Extension English: Chances the question asks for 3 prescribed texts?

    Yeah man I agree totally, seeing as its a small cohort and arugably the hardest theoretically, you should end up getting aligned really well. I found that it actually helped me out really well with advanced too, helped in picking up some techniques and themes I wouldn't have otherwise been able...

    Extension English: Chances the question asks for 3 prescribed texts?

    We *aren't* rocking Night Letters. So it's Calvino, Fowles and Orlando, which in all honesty isn't too awful, just don't really enjoy Winter's Night. I'm at Riverview, its roughly a top 40-50 school but we happened to have a teacher that is really good with the elective. Seeing as everyone else...

    Extension English: Chances the question asks for 3 prescribed texts?

    Yeah, we do TD but aren't rocking Night Letters. I really hope its not three, I would be screwed for Calvino and I'm not sure how well it would go down that one of my related texts is also by him, seeing as I wasn't even planning on using Winter's Night in an essay anyway. Completely unrelated...

    General Thoughts: General Mathematics

    That exam was hands down the easiest in recent memory; past papers dwarfed it difficulty wise to a significant degree. There was very little in the way of harder topics ie. annuities, non-linear, and in my opinion there will be a TON of people getting above 90 as a raw score. Took me an hour to...

    how to get 15.15 in a creative writing piece ?

    Don't be cliched, and obviously no teenage angst. Try and make it obvious that you are an advanced, not a standard student writing and have sophisticated structure and a diverse array of language to use. Would probably also help to do something that you are legit interested in, so perhaps you...

    Hey all, Just a general question which I only realised may have potential to screw me over slightly. I was ranked relatively well this year during Advanced, and post-trials decided it would be beneficial to upload a portion of my notes, quotes etc. in order to help everyone else go well, because...

    My related text is a set text?

    Find new ones Mr Dwyer, better to be safe than sorry in my opinion.

    Another one of those "What do I need?" threads

    Used to do Advanced, so General is a breeze, full marks for first assesment and finding everything just a repeat of earlier years at the moment. Thanks for the advice, that's sorta the area I was thinking

    Another one of those "What do I need?" threads

    Hate to ask, but, what would I be looking at for my subjects to get an ATAR of above 90, which is my ideal goal. Anything more than that is a bonus. Also, should I perhaps drop economics as I am pretty sure it will be my 2 units that don't count, not sure though. English Advanced English Ex. 1...
