This is your problem. Any marker reading your paper will be able to tell 100% that you've memorised your essay and haven't engaged with the question. The idea behind memorisation is to convince the marker that you are writing a response to that question, regardless of whether what you wrote is...

Strong essay/10. Would give good marks :p (please, please tell me yours is better than that)

Re: Official BOS Mathematics Trial Examinations: Spring Edition. Wow- these look like very solid questions. I'm going to print off all the ones from the thread and try and do them tomorrow. But seriously nice- the projectile looks fairly straightforward at a first glance but that first one...

This. Basically, go over a topic and know it. Then go through past HSC questions and particularly look for those questions in Q7/8. Once you can do those, THEN you totally understand the topic. Obviously though, answering most of Q8 is for people aiming for 95+, I'm not sure what you're aiming...

Well looks like we know what we'll be doing in maths next week. Cheers bro :)- sexy stuff

MOh dear- you see what I did there? :p

How good are you at maths? Do you like maths? You might as well give it a shot- you can always drop it if you hate it. And this 80% figure is BS- I spend less time on MX2 than my other subjects but that works for me- obviously its an individual figure. But yeah, defs give it a go, its a...

Inside joke? Explain?

Yeah- what I meant was I know how to write a decent essay but I'm not sure how well I can show others how to write a good essay/analyse texts etc. I wouldn't mind giving it a go though (though it depends on the text- some just piss me off and I won't look at them ever again after HSC- Hamlet's...

Idk- haven't thought that far ahead lol- just had the idea now and it seemed like a good plan. Probs anything I do except english (not that confident of my ability to do this well)

Of course- for da boyz (girls can come too). Nonsense thread people only (I want people I know lol not randoms for free- I'm not that generous)

Actually, if anyone's interested, I wouldn't mind doing something like that for you guys during the hols (obviously after I've had a long post-HSC break)- maybe January. I want to do some form of tutoring after HSC so it'll be a good way to learn some skills + hopefully you guys will learn...

Wait what? Lol- that's an effective PE exam strategy I guess haha Yeah sounds like a plan. And lol- is that the first time you've jigged?- why would it be that scary? Haha me and my friends went to a kebab shop during english today (miring the cars we have available now :))- our teacher was...

Conclusion won't matter too much trust- they're leniant on those things. I went over time for both of my speeches (like five seconds) and I still got 15- they'll look at it as a whole not just one small part. Lol- did you have Debbie marking?

What was wrong with your speech? Did you blank during it?

Yeah I guess if we are all submitted equal first. But it won't be as bad because we'll get at least five people on 99 or 100 exam so even with the average, the assessment will be 99

Top two exam marks are averaged for assessment- so if the top two exam marks are 85 and 93, you both get 89 for assessment

How'd you end up going? And I'm not going to school tomorrow- stay home or study at library or annoy carrot at USyd (need opinions)?

Depends on the subject. Personally I don't like them- I think they are too simplistic to get top marks but this all depends on what you are aiming for. They are a good summary of the essential ideas in the course.

Depends on you personally. I never write notes for any of my subjects because that works for me. For others, they need to write notes to help remember the content. That works for them. The key idea with everything in the HSC is that there is no one universally correct strategy- I break pretty...
