    Should English be compulsory??

    i hate how people blame the teacher. Since year 7, i have had 6 different teachers. If you are interested in the subject and want the it to count to your ATAR (if it wasn't compulsory) then you would do your own work outside of school. The teacher is only there to provide you with the basics...

    Should English be compulsory??

    It would be the same thing as sitting on 12 units though. I personally think a majority of students prefer to be on 10 units because english already counts, and the other 8 units would obviously be their strongest subjects Think of it like a normal subject. You choose the amount of study you...

    Should English be compulsory??

    The above can be achieved whether english is compulsory or not. By compulsory, i mean that it shouldn't automatically count towards your ATAR, especially if you score less than a band 5, and you score band 6 in all your other subjects. i just think it's unfair how one subject can have such an...

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

    At the end of the day, just do what the question asks, and show evidence, and you will score full marks. It is easier said than done, but it isn't impossible just remember, trials are like another practice paper for the HSC (that's the only thing that is preventing me from pulling all my hair...

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

    using just 1 theme/similarity or difference won't score you 5 marks, because it won't show that you fully understand the concept of belonging (or what the question asks). You need at least 5 strong points which answer the question (i would use about 7 as a back up)

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

    if it has been previously used, then it is highly unlikely to be used again :p attempt to answer the question with what material you have, and try to say how avoiding "quote/question" can lead to the consequences of "your opposing quote/information" if the question doesn't support the...

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

    belonging can only ever say "show how they belong, show how they dont belong, or show both" just try to incorporate both ideas, and use more support on the theme that answers the question, and the one that doesn't, you can mention how it is a consequence, and then relate back to the question. I...

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

    Yes, she was a HSC marker. i completely agree with you in the sense that it is easier for the marker to understand, but if you can still answer the question by referring to the same texts in the same paragraph, then i don't see why you won't be awarded the same marks as some one who answered...

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

    at my school, but we used student numbers (half yearly), and everything was marked in comparison to the marking criteria, so it will apply for the HSC and trial examinations, especially because the trials are being marked by the teacher that marked the half yearly exams. All i'm saying is, as...

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

    you can use the other way to, but one paragraph per text, then linking is a much better way. I did the other way, and i got 5. it all depends on how you answer the question..
