Just curious because one of the students I tutor was going on about the number of band 6's your school gets + top of the sate for English Adv or something along those lines! So was wondering what the tactic was!

As long as you are able to score 17/20 + in your modules and 13/15 + in your AOS paper, you should be fine! I have a question for those going to Baulkham hills - How do you guys study for English --> you guys do quite well as a cohort.. do you'll memorise your essays?

As long as it is readable! However if it is too messy, it disrupts the examiners concentration span and that can affect negatively Think about it: When you read something very untidy and unclear it takes a while to figure out the word and in the process you lose track of the sentence and the...

98 in Biology - 92 Raw? 95 in Eco - 91 Raw?

That is going to me a massive risk.. it's best to go in with ideas!

Agreed! Sometimes you need that extra thing in addition to hard work - but not having a state ranking will not limit you from getting 99.95 (and at the end of the day a state ranking isn't too important)

You can use if, but you might have to put in the extra effort to do well. This is because you might have others from your school using it, which means when the HSC papers get marked, if someone else does it better than you do, it can call for a point of comparison.

if someone is looking at a 98 what raw mark are they after?

So I've started helping some students with the studies of Religion course and I was wondering what is the general consensus about the difficulty of the course. I find it quite straightforward which makes me question how well it scales at the HSC. As in what raw mark would get you a band 6 - I'm...

haha...trust them to be content with that! This should work with them - I'll say it's a rough idea!

Thanks enoilgam :) I'll give this to them - it will keep them quite for a while!

I'd say PLEASE don't take a chance... Look at last years standard paper II and they specified extracts - so you are safe knowing them all. I'd say know three thoroughly, but be able to write at least one paragraph on your other speeches!

so sorry, just saw that the OP had given her/his marks out of 105. Makes sense! I know you can never tell, about scaling. Today my students wanted me to give them bands when I marked their papers, but I had no clue! Thanks anyways :)

could someone please give a rough idea on how it scales as in what marks gives you a band 6. I gave my students a "mock exam" today and they asked me to grade their papers as bands, but I have no blooming idea about the cut off marks If some one could translate these marks for me: I've done...

enoilgam, why does English scale so terribly?

I'd say know three like the back of your hand- do your practice essays with them. Just have a paragraph of pre written work on one idea for the other poems. That been said, I highly doubt them, specifying a poem - but the risk is not worth it!

but wouldn't that be a risk? what if they specify a poem? whilst it is rare it can happen. Look at the standard paper for 2010, they specified extracts, so you might need to know in brief detail about the others!

I believe that should get you across, I'm assuming you would study, The Violets, At Mornington, Mother who gave me life?

with this module it is best to prescribed first and then related. Doing the alternate method, make the argument seem messy!

Well, if you are getting good marks doing what you do, just stick to it. Good Luck with the HSC.
