    Creative writing question..

    I wrote a story concentrating on the complexities of alienation through an ambigious relationship of father and son.I think 'celebrate' can be taken any way you want. This isn't a clear cut question direction like the essay, and the ambiguity of the creative directions allows any sort of...

    Help with an easy question please

    The easiest way again: Let y = 0.2 + 0.03333 ...Let x = 0.033333...100x = 3.3333390x= 3y = 1/5 + 3/90 = 1/5 + 1/30 = 7/30

    We got the easiest papers in the history of the HSC

    I thought it was pretty tough. You can say its easy when you get your 95+ mark back.

    Hamlet - loyalty WTF???

    Uh I think the whole point was to deal with loyalty and disloyalty, and how these concepts related to your thesis. If you mentioned loyalty but then went straight on to your own essay, I highly doubt that will get you above 16.

    raw marks for band 6?

    From our school trial marks its looking like about 75ish is good enough for band 6. Although we mark slightly harder, so probably around 80/105 is enough.

    Setting the bar too high

    Uh, if I got 98 I'd be mortified. Different standards for different people.

    Frankenstein and bladerunner - disagreeing with the syllabus

    ... Obviously they were composed at different times with different contexts. Just compare and contrast why the stories are different, techniques ect, and how this is contributed to from context. E.g. --> creation of life: F context was galvinism, medical fascination, corpse stealing; B was...

    Sample of Band 6 essays

    seems like a pretty good reason to me.

    Help, I chose the wrong texts

    If you did a good essay, one of two things will happen a) Hardly anybody else will do HP and so you'll stand out for taking the risk and doing it well b) Lots of dumb people did HP and so you'll stand out for being better than they are. I can't see it hurting you unless you can't pull off...

    Another ATARRRR Estimate. Thanks!!!

    If your top 10, surely your own school would give you an estimate ATAR? Plus, surely you have overall rankings you could align to which would be more accurate. Most of them I know do.

    Start of HSC Thoughts: Motivated? Not Motivated?

    Re: 2010'ers - We Are The New Decade Of the 99.9's and above, over 4/5ths are taken by the top 10 schools. There's generally about 10 or so left outside the top 20 schools. (i.e. we took 9/70ish 99.95 or above last year, ruse took probably about 20?)

    Non-Maths HSC

    By all means though, take maths or a science. It's a refreshing change from memorising dozens of essay plans. Besides, what I've found is that I can procrastinate from histories/eco/englishes by doing maths papers.

    Can markers screw up your mark

    Markers probably have some level of care. Not just for professionalism, but surely they have to realise they're marking somebody's future ...

    Need Clarification (Applies to all personalities)

    It's a mini-essay about that statement in comparison to your person. Just prepare a couple of stock responses, because they can only ask so many - outside forces, history's interpretation ect - and just mention the quote a lot.

    Who does Polish?

    Do you know Kate Samolej?

    Do we have to synthesize/integrate texts

    It's pretty important to get some links between texts in almost every paragraph. Do it everytime you introduce a new point about a text. e.g. While in Felix Skrzynecki and Mrs Dalloway the individual must make the choice of whether to conform at the expense of personal identity, in...

    Is tutoring the secret to success HSC?

    Tutoring at our school is used far more by the bottom 50 than the top 50.
