    I think I messed up paper 2 (advanced)..... I have a QUESTION!

    If I have my facts right, as you know 50% comes from your external and the other 50% from your internals, you can get a rough estimation of what your internal mark is for English out of 50 and since you've gotten around high 80s to low 90s it'll most likely mean your internal mark will probs be...

    Desperate Need of Study Space

    When I needed a quick read through of my notes (or intense reading session) I just sat outside in my backyard and it's actually pretty relaxing and I'd set myself breaks after finishing sections. I was surprised how fast it was reading all my notes without distractions and even looking at the...

    How long do english hsc markers spend marking each essay?

    If I remember correctly, my English teacher told me they spend around 20-30 minutes reading each essay and it's basically because they do not have time to properly analyse and give extensive feedback for each essay. They've got a quota and a deadline to meet so it usually is impression marking...

    I mean as long as it wasn't in year 12 it should be alright, I remember my English head teacher altered the assessment internal marks for year 12 and basically gave everyone 10 whole extra marks and when HSC came everybody get screwed by the HSC yikes, but yeah like Absolutezero said, it's much...

    Should i post my essays on here after HSC?

    If you think it will help give back to the community, sure you can go ahead and upload your essays here, you never know what someone will do with them but honestly the fact that you could help a struggling student out there is sometimes the most important thing, it's completely up to the person...

    Do I have a death wish?

    I mean I've got a friend doing all three extensions: 3U English/Maths/Extension but she only does 11 units and was not able to pick up 4U maths and she's doing fine but it honestly depends if you can handle the workload or not, it's personal experience. In saying that, none of the 4U math kids...

    Help for Essays for National Study and Conflict?

    Tbh, I don't really have a set structure for Modern History essays, I just write what comes to mind imao obviously that doesn't mean I write all over the place, generally it must be chronologically-based and it must be in order, jumping between dates disrupts the flow of your essay, but honestly...

    help is urgently needed

    I mean if it helps you better understand the topic and you're able to do good research to wrap your head around it, it should be ok, but you must not drown yourself in all the stuff you read, take breaks and ensure you're not just sitting there reading tons and tons of eco content because that's...

    How to deal with content heavy subjects?

    Honestly same I'm drowning in content but you must organise yourself first and especially for your upcoming Preliminary exams. It's not humanly possible to remember anything, for English just remember basic techniques, quotes all that sorta jazz and when it comes exam time, write prepared essays...

    Is this the end for me?

    It most certainly is not the end for you!! Just because you perform 'bad' in one subject doesn't mean you bomb out for the others and ruin your ATAR goal, all you gotta do now is study extra hard as Blit2014 suggested, sure it might be difficult to get a desired HSC mark for Chemistry but that...
