    English Poems!

    Since Wilfred Owen is mod B, you really need to know all the poems. So you should know detailed textual evidence from all six poems, and you should have an insightful understanding of how Owen's complex personal context (his perspective as a soldier and all that), and public sentiment of the war...

    Resources for 1984 & Metropolis?

    The essay ‘The Dialectic of Enlightenment in Metropolis’ (Jerold. J Abrams) was really helpful when I was studying Metropolis in prelim. Just any academic articles you can find on Metropolis or the sociopolitical context of Weimar Germany (jstor plsss) is of great use.

    Please Share Advice for 2015ers

    DO NOT do extension 2 english as your 10th unit. Too many ATARs I know of have taken a hit because their external mark was significantly lower than their internal mark. Work steadily on your major works. The holidays are a great time to get some of it done. Read around all your texts for...

    Re: Where/when do we get info about our scaled marks and what units contributed to AT 3U Maths and Drama didn't count?!?!? All the calculators I used thought 3U Maths would count over 4U English, but the scaling seems to be favourable for extension 1 and 2 English this year.

    General question on economics essays

    About 800 minimum, but it's more about covering everything properly than word count. And I never typed my essays, but they were always about 7-8 pages written.

    Who got state ranks?

    According Mr 'virtualb15', it is harder for 4U students to get a state rank in 3U, because they look at the marks awarded in your other maths subject, regardless of whether it is 2U or 4U. And thus we see some 2U/3U students get state ranks due to their performance in 2U.

    AUD and internal stability?

    Also structural change through Dutch disease - an appreciating currency will promote domestic businesses which have imports as a large part of their operations, and reduce the competitive advantage of export-competing firms such as manufacturing. Look at the 2013-14 stats on unemployment on...

    oh my gosh can't even deal with drama essays

    Drama essays really are the worst. But for the essays, just make sure you use relevant evidence from the drama or theatre. This includes workshop experiences (In class, we experimented with ___________. This helped me / the audience understand _______________________), or a performance you've...
