    General Thoughts: English Advanced Paper 2

    Hahahahah that hamlet question what the fuck lol. I ended up bullshitting time/place within the play, it did say how its "used IN Shakespeare's Hamlet.."

    any guesses for hamlet question?

    I have a hunch it may specify deception or mortality..and perhaps textual form (<-- form will fuck everyone over, no joke)

    How did you write up your study timetable for Year 12?

    I didn't write mine up. I found if I focussed on time while studying, I'd get a lot less done because I'd just be constantly thinking "fuck i have to do 2 more hours"

    Are HSC exams anything like their same year TRIAL exams?

    No they're quite different. In my experience doing past trial papers for trials and past HSC papers now, HSC papers have more practical/calculations questions whereas trial questions seem to be more often just ripped out of the syllabus rote learn stuff. It makes sense because the practical...

    English is stupid

    It's true. It does take intelligence to score VERY well in english..but to obtain a decent score in english really has no saying on how intelligent you are. I think the only reason it is mandatory is because it requires a different "mind" than that of very high scaling subjects like 4u/3u math...

    how much did you study, and what was your atar/what do you usually get in exams?

    Don't ever adopt this attitude. Hours of study are irrelevant in how well you do in exams. There is a slight trend, but what's literally 3 times as influential is how you spend those hours. In my experience, my exam marks are 35% natural ability, 30% study habits, 20% exam technique, 10% time...

    internal rankings and state rank?

    Yep, I'm 90% sure this is correct. External mark = the mark you get in HSC exam Internal mark = the mark your internal rank gets in the HSC exam (e.g. you are 2nd internally, your internal mark is the 2nd highest HSC exam mark of your cohort) edit: close enough

    Fastest pen??

    Seconded. I use Inkjoys. They flow like oil. It's a pack of 10 for a very cheap price. The downside is they run out of ink very fast (1 will last you both english papers only), but this is totally worth the smoothness, price, and shape. And you can always bring like 5 of them in an exam so...

    UMAT thoughts and discussion

    I finished 20 mins early. Complete 100% guesses on ~5-10 questions (ran out of time..i spent the last 20 minutes stuck on like 3 questions) Maybe 5 more questions were educated guesses (i.e. eliminate a few answers then guess remaining) Probably got like 10(?) section 2 questions wrong, because...

    Australian National Chemistry Quiz

    Came 15 minutes late to the exam, fuck yeah. Still finished a minute early though. Ended up guessing 3 of the questions (discounting 1 or 2 of the answers though) I got a HD and D in Year 10/11, hopefully one of those this year. -no preparation, trials too OP.

    Is Prelim course tested in year 12/hsc?

    Well I did a physics trial paper from sydney girls I think and it had a sunspot question at the end, which is part of prelim physics.

    titration question- help needed

    I don't think you need C1V1 = C2V2, it's not a dilution. try not to skip steps, though.

    Kill off a topic.

    This, fuck conics. Most annoying and least interesting topic.

    Do year 11 ranks usually correlate?

    Not really. In my experience (School rank about 15-20ish?), I bludged through year 11, barely studied, ended up topping physics and 2nd in chem and bio. Probably because no one else really cared at that point. Then Year 12 comes around, everyone actually starts to try, and although it's only...

    Memorisation :/

    It depends on the person really. "write and rewrite" won't get you far in life at all, though.

    If you do 4 unit maths, should you do physics

    By "soft-science" are you talking about the more wordy questions like "assess impacts on society of xxx"? (in other words...the bullshit waffle-y questions that anyone with half a brain can just rote learn) But yeah, 4U and phys aren't really that related. There's a few topics that are slightly...
