    Crime 15 mark predictions?

    I agree. Literally 5 minutes before I clicked on this post; I was making my predictions... (I predicted the questions of both my modules for Modern History and One Module and Core); Legal Studies..... is a bit different to history in making, 'calculated' predictions.... they can draw from a...

    General Thoughts: Modern History

    I predicted my modules to the question... even the wording. I predicted that USA 1919-1941; (I did not guess, I kind of knew) would be not only Foreign Policy, but Domestic pressures. I wrote the same essay I did the day before the exam, which was marked by a former Senior Modern marker. I...

    Mark Calculation Scenario Question

    Given your calculation.... would the same be applied.... (this would be exceptional) if: 1st Assessment Rank: External: 65 2nd Assessment Rank: External 94 Would 2nd have a 79.5 (Where the gap in internals is a mere 1.6%) Does not seem very logical.... (better yet, fair)

    Are state ranks based purely off of external results?

    Suppose.... Given this Scenario: Assessment Rank 1: Achieves an external exam mark of 80 Assessment Rank 2: Achieves an exam external mark of 94 The gap between the individuals in the assessment is 1.7% The remainder of the class bombed out and achieved no higher than 65... downwards. How...

    Mark Calculation Scenario Question

    Tbh, I will get the ATAR for my course (93) anyhow, but the idea that my mark will not be an accurate representation of my performance in the subject does hurt.

    Mark Calculation Scenario Question

    Are you sure you are not simplifying this? The gap was 1.7%... Surely, they do not merely find an average... disregarding all the circumstances which may surround it. For instance, if the gap with 0.4%....

    Curious as to your views on answering contemporary issue questions [Legal]

    That is the, 'Crime Long Response'. I understand your viewpoint and in my own studies I would take a similar approach in that I would address a range of issues when answering that section of the paper... specific to the Optional modules contemporary issues, I am questioning whether there are...

    Curious as to your views on answering contemporary issue questions [Legal]

    Where a HSC question asks you... for example, How effective has law reform been in dealing with contemporary issues in the workplace? In this circumstance, I would consider it appropriate to focus on one issue in isolation and go into extensive detail. However, are there any circumstances...

    J Edgar Hoover - Time Management Question

    I wouldn't say it is a matter of 'neglect' but more-so how long it actually takes me to effectively answer the question... Those questions worth 25 marks, can be done effectively in 1300 Words c.10-11 HSC writing booklet pages (50 minutes for me). Hoover requires more time as the 10 Mark...

    USA essay question

    I don't mean to be critical, however, couldn't one avoid doing US Society altogether? You realize, that if you are prepared to answer any question on: - Great Depression - New Deal - Foreign Policy You can completely neglect the social section.... The nature of the categories I suggests is...

    Memorizing paragraphs

    I personally, research and write an essay on each issue + the effectiveness of the law in providing justice for parties involved in relationship breakdowns, through that process I grasp an understanding of the issues and form my own judgments. Then, I rote learn all of the essay(s) to...

    How is everyone preparing for the 15 mark crime question?

    Bare this in mind.... The multiple choice they allocate 30 minutes. I don't know if its is just me.... I have done 4 past HSC multiple choice sections and achieved 18-19/20 average in 10 minutes. Thus, enabling you to allocate 20 minutes across your other sections..... e.g. Multiple Choice...

    "To what extent are courts the only means of achieveing justice within the cjs..."

    Re: "To what extent are courts the only means of achieveing justice within the cjs... I did this for my half-yearly and got 14/15. (Note, I'm shooting off the top of my head, take nothing I say seriously) The criminal justice system facilitates various methods of achieving just and fair...

    Plagiarism in hsc exams?

    Well I guess your right... been doing some reading. I always thought that if it were in your mind and you were in an exam room... any knowledge you have that you put on a piece of paper would not be considered plagiarism.... Also the comment the BOS made saying they structure questions so...
