    General Thoughts: English Paper 1 (AOS)

    Sense of familial belonging is established- the windows (refers to a house), inclusive langauge in the sisters playing "side by side" etc. BUT, a sense of belonging can change in time- "inseperable bonds" broken or whatever, the splitting of the page horizontally and stuff

    Section 2 - Creative Writing

    I used the tree as a recurring motif. Basically, my story is set in a prison and he's flashing back. So he flashes back to when he's a child and he sees his friend go and swing on the tree and his friend asks him to join him but my persona is too scared and says no. The tree is leafy and green...

    is it possible to get 98+ in chemistry HSC?

    Yes. You would need to be first in school (unless you go to Ruse pretty much). And that would be a definite state rank

    General Thoughts: English Paper 1 (AOS)

    I don't know haha- I was a bit iffy on this time concept. I think my essay turned out alright though it was only like 1000 words, my creative was good but I'm not sure that I made the stimulus the central idea and short answers idk. We'll see I guess

    Section 3 - Extended Response

    When I first saw the question I was like WTF but I think it went alright. Not my best essay though- probs around 1000 words. My main idea was basically that our perceptions of belonging are derived from our interactions with the world but as these relationships and interactions are fluid and...

    Yeah I know. As long as the school isn't posted, then I'm good haha. And yeah- I just want a straight out creative for S2 (no bullcrap letter or whatever) and belonging and identity for S3. Idk, it should be good (hopefully)... What time you getting to school?

    Sydney Morning Herald/Sun Herald taking things out of context?

    BoS - your one-stop destination for cheating in the HSC

    I just realised in the same post that they quoted, I also had: "Don't cheat though- it's not cool and I hope you get caught if you do (even though that sounds dog)" -> they must have accidently 'missed' that bit. Ah well haha- can't change that now

    BoS - your one-stop destination for cheating in the HSC

    Haha shit just saw that. Yeah that was a pretty solid out of context quote- strong reporting abilities

    Anyone else not memorizing?

    I didn't answer a question actually- I just wrote about the text's central concerns etc.

    is there any chance?

    Yes I can guarantee that they are allowed to specify- whether they will is a different story.

    How much can you write in 40 minutes???

    For a fully memorised response word for word probs around 1350. In an actual exam though, my essays tend to be between 1100-1200 words

    can they prescribe a skrznecki poem?

    They did for Mod B last year- this lazy bit won't be what stops them. Personally I don't think they'll specify in AOS because it'll make it even harder for standard people (from what I've heard anyway)

    What are hoping to get for english raw?

    Depends on the questions- I don't have a mark goal per se. My aim is to walk out of each test happy with the way I answered the questions (which'll probs equate to 90+ but idk)
