    Wait sorry, what do you need help with? 1 poem is too small, you should definitely do at least two. 1100 words is fine- my essay that I wrote today was probs around 1150-1200.

    For Hamlet- know the major themes and characters. Know about things like corruption, false appearances. Know the major soliloquies etc. Given the limited time you have though, I don't know what you should focus on- how much of the play do you know? And yeah you might as well have a practice...

    How do you draw your lower-case sigma?

    I never use standard deviation but when I write in Greek and use it, I do it like this: Start at the top of the circle and then draw the circle anticlockwise and then when you get back to where you started, just draw the line as well.

    No. You can't annotate your paper in any way. And I think for belonging OP, the reading time is 10 minutes from memory

    How to approach a question.

    If you can do the first five questions with ease, there's no point looking at them in reading time because you'll be able to do them anyway

    Photographic memory?

    You have a very good memory but no way photographic. I can remember an essay in that sort of time frame too- photographic memory refers to being able to see something once and then just recall it perfectly, like you took a photo of it. The best example I can think of is this guy that can fly...

    Ranks and Marks for Yr 12 Next Year

    If your school rank is 300's, realistically aim for like first in everything if you want to get into med. Last year, I think the median ATAR that got into UNSW med was like 99.60 so you will need higher than your ATAR goal. About studying, as much as you need to do well in your tests and...

    How to answer the 5-6 mark question from AOS Paper 1?

    Yeah for a 5-6 marker, you should aim for about 2 pages. I don't know about 3 marks but I tend to write about 3/4-1 page

    Question! :D

    Depends on how hard your school exams are. Do you go selective (if so- what are your ranks and marks)? For me, I was getting 100% in 2U and around 95% in 3U and now I get pretty similar (~95%) in 4U. Definitely give it a go though- it sounds like you'll be good for it.

    How do you cram study?

    Get a textbook/notes from someone else and then read. Do this for all your subs. By this time you will have forgotten a lot of the earlier stuff so repeat the process with different notes. This will bore the shit out of you but its effective for cramming.
