By accident. Seriously, I pretty much studied the night before every subject and came out with 4 band 6s. If you really care about your education, stop worring about the SC and start looking over content for your HSC courses or something, the SC counts for crap - as long as you go in and...

Re: B Communication UWS -> B Arts (Public Communication) UTS Thanks for the help, preferences are in.

B Communication UWS -> B Arts (Public Communication) UTS Hi, a friend of mine has just informed that it may be possible to transfer at the end of first year B Communication at UWS, to SECOND year B Arts (Public Communication) at UTS, if the individual has a high enough GPA & ATAR to transfer...

Wtf, didn't Harry kill you in the last book?

Didn't do it, don't think we had to and my teacher didn't say anything about it. *Shrugs* I doubt the markers will pick up people's major works, see that there's no word count, and deduct 5 marks. They read so many of them that they'll automatically realise if it's significantly over/under the...

+1, that totally just made me lol. Please tell me you're a fan of YouTube - communitychannel's Channel. Moving on, I loved 1984 and I've recently begun reading Mikhael Bulgakov's "The Master and Margarita" which, I must say, is so far rather intriguing. I hadn't given myself much of a chance...

Generally, as far as I know most teachers and markers HATE the "Teen Angst" stuff. Enough of it pops up on TV every day let alone them being bombarded by it at 'work'. I went to an Extension 2 day earlier this year where markers talked about the subject and the marking process, and the general...

I made the decision not to go quite some time ago. I just didn't think it was worth spending money on some crap that I wasn't completely into. I'd prefer not to spend now and perhaps do something I'd be more interested in sometime later.

I feel relatively confident with the content but my main concern is getting a ridiculous critical response question or a crazy stimulus for creative writing. I know it's a 'genre' study and we have to develop an understanding of conventions, etc. but I really hate (with a passion) the idea of...

Some people just don't like maths as much as you. They likely don't want to pursue it after school. Perhaps they're not after something as challenging as 2U, but they don't want to drop the subject and sever ties with mathematics altogether. Perhaps it was the only reasonable subject choice on a...

What about using a standard prescribed text as an Extension 1 related text? Our teacher gave it to us and said it was OK to use. She's been a standard and advanced marker for years and didn't see a problem with it - it's not like we'd be studying it in Standard because we obviously do Advanced...

Perhaps, but the more prepared you are, the more likely you are to get a 'lucky' question. You could basically say the same thing about most subjects, if you just happen to have focused your study on all the content that appeared in the exam. Ultimately though, the more thoroughly you prepare...

What on earth possessed you to bring out the highlighters in an HSC exam? Try not to worry about it though, there's nothing you can do. If the highlighter itself doesn't show up in the scan (although I wasn't aware they scanned them) then perhaps the writing will. Just hope it doesn't make your...

P+H: filled the space. Athenian Society: Probably about 5-7... Can't remember but I didn't reach the last page of the booklet. This section fucked me over majorly. Julius Caesar: 10 pages. :S Got a bit carried away, hope I didn't jeopardise the 'clarity' of my responses. Greek World 446-399: 8...

Aah. We did Emma / Clueless last year in Extension and I hated it. I'd choose Frankenstein / Blade Runner to that any day - I just could NOT force myself to like Emma. All a matter of opinion though I guess! I didn't mind the exam question at all though, it was very much the type of thing I was...

Re: Cut off for Band 4? This year I got 43 raw and 96 aligned. Band 4 cut-offs probably around 12-15.

It'd have to be a pretty significant amount of smudging for them to want to penalise you. I highly doubt, if a couple of words are slightly smudged, that the markers are going to think 'omg this student's paper is COMPLETELY ILLEGIBLE! ZERO!!!'. The guidelines are mostly there to make it easy...

I really liked this question. The 'themes' I generally focus on in my essays are appearance and reality (or 'duplicity'), duty/honour and moral responsibility. I think I managed to develop a thesis with these points relative to loyalty... e.g. The disloyalty within the kingdom leads to...

Pretty much every maths teacher I've ever had sucks. Coming from other teachers at the school, I've heard that good maths teachers are really hard to find these days. Those who are good often stay where they are, and there aren't a whole lot of good new ones coming through. I would say at our...

May upload English essays... If I'm feeling nice. Don't like how the poll assumes we're going to 'burn' all our notes if we get rid of them though. Nobody just throws stuff out these days? Perhaps I'm boring.
