Ancient History 98/100 English (Advanced) 95/100 English Extension 46 Extension 2 48 Mathematics 91 History Extension 48 and software design 95 last year... overall i did pretty well... but maybe not enough for the uai to make com/law at syd

Master Gopher thanks for the reply. My trial marks were 24 for what is history, 23 for case study so yeah my marks are high and its a selective school so its meant to be decent but what you've learnt seems alot better. My essays are long... I tend to write heaps in the time, and my essays...

Ok so I'm revising all my work for the exam thats in 3 days... and I come on here and see a section on "historiographical quotes" that includes a range of terminology that we never got taught. I'm coming first in my school at this subject but I'm not so sure we ever learnt the topics right...

Ok this is my working for it: cosec(x.pi/6) = 1/sin(x.pi/6) table of values: x=1, y= 1/sin(pi/6) = 1/(1/2) = 2 x = 2, y = 1/sin(2pi/6) = 1/sin(pi/3) = 1/([root3]/2) = 2/[root3] x = 3, y = 1/sin(pi/2) = 1/1 = 1 ok so then to the simpsons rule formula: integral of cosec(x.pi/6)...

I think it should be compulsory and that the way it is offers alot of useful things to the students. Firstly, what is the analysis of texts under a specified rubric giving us? I'd say it basically teaches people to be conscious of the varying ways we can look at not just literature but all...

Yeah I agree with you I think that you could have brought in everything you discussed. Also, there is the historian opinions... ie Aristotle and his fears of female power and Gynokokratia

just wondering... at the moment I'm thinking that this question could have been answered in one of two ways: 1) You took the personal interpretation idea to mean you focus solely one your interpretation. In doing that you eliminated reference to other productions bar a small paragraph on...

What are you talking about? English teaches you to appreciate literature and the value of texts in general. It gives you life skills in the fact that you have the ability to understand, perceive and think about concepts/ideas/things in general in a variety of different ways. I understand...

"Argue your point" That means simply argue what you believe the imaginative journey is in relation to that quote. You can be for, against or both really.

If they could ask for a speech then why is a feature article such a stupid idea? Although I agree with what you're saying the BOS are known for such outlandish, crazy moves. I think: Module A - interview module B - essay module c - speech/feature article or essay

That's some nice effort there el davo!!! (too bad you support the mariners!) yeah our school marks hard to be honest... but thats because last years english completely screwed up. We should be more like Tristan bloms year back in 2004 I hear from the teachers... there were 40 band 6s or...

yeah you are exactly right. the quote was perfect for poetry... I left the exam centre in a fury becuase as I left I thought of the perfect idea. Poetry is a harder form, so if you are not experienced and, more importantly, in the right frame of mine to come up with something that is...

Calm down! the question was not "speculation is the most important part of the IJ" it was "more than anything else, the imaginative journeys are about the process of speculation" Hence, if you talked of speculation involved in the journey then you can still do very well for yourself :)...

I agreed with the question as i thought it would be the easiest thing. What I did, however, to bring everything else in about the journey, was suggest that THROUGH speculation (which is essentially the imaginative process of the journey) the traveller is able to reflect upon the world and...

Yep for sure. I completely reworked all my prepared answers for creative so that they were much more unique and moved away from such cliched shit. Then I saw the question I was just shaking my head. I think they should have at the very least offered a range of quotes, because this limits...

Special provisions is ok for the people who legitimately need it.... but people writing obscene amount of words. One of the english extension 1 exemplar papers from 2004 was somewhere in excess of 2500 words, FOR ONE HOUR!!!! whereas the rest of the state are forced to handwrite a max of...

I think that 2005 was the easiest test I've ever seen. I mean I did a practice of it a few weeks ago... the teacher marked it as either 43-45/45 depending on how pedantic the marker was, but more toward the high side of things. Whereas this paper... like it was do-able not that i actually...

Well... I thought it was quite straightforward except extremely stupid in its limited focus. I argued that speculation was a significant element of the journey because it provokes all the other discoveries etc and reflection which leads to self development.. The only thing i'm angry about was...
