Not really haha. Do you mind posting the name of the school? You can PM me if privacy is an issue...

Whats your school rank and your rank in english at school? The actual marks aren't that helpful because some schools mark piss easy and some mark very hard. For what its worth, if you got 90/105 in the HSC, you'd get 95+ so given that you're thinking about whether its possible to get a B6 is...

Re: ITT we help examine to get 85 in his Maths extension 1 yearlies so he can do 4 un For 3D trig, draw EVERY single triangle present in the question. Then it becomes super easy to work out what values you have and what you have enough info to work out. Work out those values and then solve...

Oh right, my bad lol. Yeah the internal timing is REALLY important so defs work on that. A lot of people spend even a few minutes too long on the first two essays which leaves you with less than 35 for the last (=not so good). Remember that the marks you gain from spending longer on one essay...

Haha at the 'asian fail'- dw, I'm sure you'll be fine- just put in a bit of effort and maybe you can salvage something. Are you in year 11 or 12?

Thanks. You too :)

Goal is to get into Commerce/Law at USyd. And nah I don't write it on my room or anywhere- I know that's what I want and the ATAR I need...

Nah I always use pen for any test in any sub. First of all, pen is easier to read and mark. Also, pencil can get rubbed out by accident or become fainter etc. or even someone could rub it out and change your answer. It might make sense to draw a guide graph in pencil but I'd always draw the...

Write under a page for a Mod B essay that doesn't even address the question properly. Actually, he was telling us of some shockers that people wrote. Some guy opened with "Hamlet is a modern novel..." -> strong fail/10

Haha, I think you might find year 12 is overrated. I was full expecting everything to go nuts and become SUPER stressed but tbh, its been pretty much normal. Like obviously its more intense because everything counts now but if you just maintain a constant effort and do you best, its not that...

He's a good marker though because he marks fairly. He gave me 20 for Hamlet :) He gave some people as low as 2 though lol

Relax- it's year 11. In year 11, I prepared for my yearlies about three days before and I was proud of myself because that was the most prep I had ever done haha. Just make sure in year 12 you go harder.

Its good. It tests speaking ability a lot more and eliminates a lot of people who get good marks by getting tutors to write stuff and memorising word for word- caution wild- MOST people will blank at some point in their speech. Don't be one of them. Know your content and memorise it almost word...

Actually this is an interesting question- how much do you guys plan your english responses? Personally for me, I plan in my head in reading time and then pretty much write for the straight two hours (I think again for like a min in my head in between each essay).

Don't compare pages because people write bigger/smaller and it becomes deceiving. What happened though? Did you forget stuff to talk about or what?

:cry: How many essays did you have to write and how much did you leave for the last one?

Re: The Nonsense Thread Sounds great- this'll be interesting (hope I can do it lol)

Re: The Nonsense Thread Yep. Tbh I'll do any paper that a BOSer writes.

Why not use the whole page? I started writing mine the other day and I can go for a whole page easy- just make sure its actual quality and not waffle. Just use as much as you need imo to convey your character and convince USyd that you deserve the scholarship more than the other applicants.

Very impressive haha- beats my 90. And yeah, I'm keen for 6th of november- PARTY TIME!!! (after chem obviously)
