    No, though being concise can be good.

    ATAR Estimate

    ~97.00 - Your english is definitely pulling your atar down and potentially SOR & software (software more so due to lack of data)

    Module B thesis statement

    For starters, it's Module A. I'd recommend looking at the following concepts that are shard throughout both texts, note a few will and should overlap. - Resistance & Rebellion - Power & Control - Progress - Individualism

    topic sentence?

    Your teacher has a few screws loose it seems. Why on earth are they even doing this activity. And to answer your question long and complex topic sentences are fine and I'd recommend them in essay writing.

    business studies

    There's a lot of overlap in some areas, marketing is very similar.

    How much does extra knowledge improve your marks in an essay

    Depends entirely on the subject and the particular essay, but yes, it can have some impact.

    extracurriculars?

    Depends what you want to do. Most unis just look at your ATAR.

    Creatives vs. Essays?

    Essays are still very much the core of English, so I'd say focus on that. It may also help you more with other subjects. Though it's good you enjoy creatives, a lot of people such as myself hate them.

    business studies

    Yes, it is. However, the amount of memorisation can be minimised through acronyms. A lot is just a general understanding, but a lot is still syllabus bingo.

    Should I be writing creative's throughout the year?

    I've heard this opinion before, but, from experience it's probably better to have one and try perfect it through out the year. All the people I know who have done well did the same.

    SORII Essays

    You should have more than 30-40min in the HSC if you manage you time correctly. Paragraphs are a bit ambiguous, I'd say aim for a 900 word essay at least. I tended to write about 1200 words.

    Do markers discriminate against people who choose a prescribed text as their related?

    Re: Do markers discriminate against people who choose a prescribed text as their rela If it's relevant you should be fine. In general the best rule is well known author little known text.

    Advice?

    Extension English is more challenging, if you know what you're doing SORII is quite easy.

    Swapping Subjects?

    My school wanted everyone to have their subjects sorted by about week 5 term 1, however, one student swapped subjects mid-way through term 3 which was a bit of an anomaly, but they allowed it and he did pretty well in the subject.

    I can't tell if my private tutor is helping?

    $80 is VERY expensive for a service you're not sure has much value. Try a lesson with some other tutors and see if it is any different.

    Studying or "Winging" an Essay

    I did a lot of humanities and English was the only subject where I had to memorise essays, by which I made a broad, generic essay and adapted it on the day for discovery. For modules, I wrote several paragraphs exploring different ideas and chose the most relevant ones for the question and...

    business studies

    Re: bus stds I'm actually a bit of a business studies in action in fan, its pretty good but goes to unnecessary length and irrelevant tangents in some sections. My favourite, and I've read at least five business textbooks is the Excel book, for me it was the perfect level of detail. However...

    Need subject selection help !!!!!

    Are the band 6s in the other subjects similar? It was quite the opposite at my school where 30-45% of the business cohort achieved band 6s.
