Yeah that would be really helpful thanks- I'll make sure to track you down :)

Sounds amazing- thanks so much. Could I compare your HSC paper with your original essay to see how you adapt to different questions? If you don't want to share the creative, that's fine.

Can any of the english gods that are coming bring any essays that they have so I can have a look at things like structure, expression etc?

If you want, I can look at that as well. I'll look at it tomorrow.

Even though I do advanced, the belonging module is exactly the same so I could steal them :P. Relax though, I won't - I've already written my belonging anyway. I still think you should get some feedback from teachers though.

Yeah bro :)- Excited for some holidays (lol jks study time)

Yeah I'll have a quick look but I've never marked anything before so my mark could be horribly off (our school marks english hard so I don't what what deserves what in the HSC). Also, why out of 25? In the HSC, they mark out of 15 for belonging.

A HSC mark of 85 in physics scales to the equivalent of a 91.8 ATAR, which is achieved with an MX2 score of 61.

I disagree with this. You feel as much pressure as you put on yourself. I go to a selective school and until senior years, I didn't feel any pressure because I knew I didn't NEED to come first in junior years- I just took it as it came. If though you feel you have to come first, then obviously...

Interesting one for a 4U student that I saw in one of our school's past papers: <a href="http://www.codecogs.com/eqnedit.php?latex=\textup{Given }|z-2|=2\textup{ and }0<\textup{argz}<\frac{\pi}{2}, \textup{ find the value of k (real) for which:} \\ \textup{arg}(z-2)=\textup{karg}(z^2-2z)"...

Yes of course, depending on your subjects and the score within the band five (e.g. 80 or 89).

See all the bolded bits- these are all the areas where you are telling us you want your child to relax. If you want your child to relax, and she wants to relax, why place all this pressure on her? What exactly are you trying to get out of posting here? You want a balanced life, I agree with you...

In year 8 don't worry so much about results. I never cared about my test results really until about year 11. Its very important that she builds the important fundamentals for senior school (how to do maths, construct sentences etc.) but don't pressure her too much to come first. Building a well...

Wow- that sounds amazing- really looking forward to the seminar. Congrats on your cousin too.

I'm going to speak from my experience (and I hope I don't sound like an arrogant douche). I have never been tutored in my life. I go to Sydney Tech (a selective school). In Year 11, I was dux of the year, currently in year 12 I am either at the top or near the top in all of my subjects. I still...

Yeah sounds hectic. I'll be sure to track you down on the day :) See you there

Sounds mad. I remember a question in Cambridge asking to graph the Folium of Descartes which was cool so finding the area should be interesting- I only know very basic things about double integrals so I can learn heaps of stuff.

I'm interested too :).

Oh sorry, I didn't mean don't have any idea for an intro. Its just that too many people rewrite a practice intro that has no real relevance to the question. The fundamental point of an intro (particularly the first few lines) is to address the question and demonstrate your line of argument...
