    English

    Didn't really answer the questions straight up with a strong argument. Expecting about 15's for two paper 2 essays, and maybe 18 for one. Paper One wasn't too bad, but I usually fuck it up, so I'm hoping to scrape about 75-80/105

    Predict Ancient

    I'm gonna take a random guess and say 83/84. Because its on par'ish with Bio in terms of difficulty, maybe a bit easier, and Bio needs about 82 raw to get a band 6.

    Predict Ancient

    I'm stuffed for society. Have no idea how to study anymore, just staring blankly at notes, read through them about 20 times today alone. And I hope its not goddamn private buildings, I have little on that. You bring up a good point about Caligula though, must have overlooked that; if we got...

    Scaling averages for general maths

    Isn't General a capped course? If you get 100% even, its scaled to 90?

    Should i take the risk??

    The Pompeii 10 marker is always sourced from one of the three dotpoints on Reconstruction & Conservation of the Past. And interesting...social structure would be nice; sewarage systems would be great, but i'm sure they asked something on water and sanitation before, havent they? I'm more...

    10 Units or 12?

    10 is so much easier - this becomes crystal clear especially around exam time. Do 10, if you're confident with your 10 units. 12 is a waste of time.

    Hamlet - loyalty WTF???

    Nah I integrated the question throughout my response. It just was just backed up by my own pre-memorised essay. ^ And yes, Hamlet could or could not be mad. It depends on how you see it.

    Hamlet - loyalty WTF???

    Lol Just threw in my themes essay - linked corruption and madness to the concept of disloyalty - significance of hamlet's madness; led to by the overt corruption and disloyalty within society. Probs around a 15-16 I think, who gives a flying fuck English is finally over.

    General Thoughts: English Advanced Paper 2 (Modules)

    Pretty decent, I was writing up till the last second, and just finished my last essay. 8-7-7 pages. Some of the questions were dodgy though, I rewrote my practise memorised essays and adjusted them slightly. Like for Frankenstein and Blade Runner - the disruption of the connection between...

    Not attending HSC exam?

    I don't understand how it fucks up other people's marks. If you dont attend and get 0, wouldnt it only affect the person who's coming last (so their assessment mark is 0)?

    Marks lost for illegibility?

    I'm a bit worried about this; my writing has become close to illegible during memorisation for Paper 2, I'm wondering if they'll take marks off for not being legible? My school did for trials, I lost up to 10 marks due to poor handwriting in all sections. :chainsaw: Someone reassure me.

    Example of text type

    Section 3 - Extended Response

    Yes but then my essay would've been a grand total of 4 pages.

    Will they screw us over for Paper 2?

    Think of it this way. They can ask "Write a radio transcript with analysis of the textual representation and dramatic techniques employed by Shakespeare in Hamlet" First line of essay is altered. Nothing more. You can basically write your OWN question as part of the radio interview and totally...

    Will they screw us over for Paper 2?
