Anyone else freaking out? 34 minutes. And I'm typing in the dark. Damn those people who could sleep tonight!

I'm scared s**tless. The closer we get to the HSC results, the more I realise this could be v. good,..... or v. v. v. bad. and v. bad is more likely than v. good. *shudders* I've already said I'm going, promised all my friends, I'm frakked. 33 hours :S

Ordnaiv - yeah my schools doing the same (my friends and I call it "UAI boast day" since only the people that do well show up),, except we're supposed to have a BBQ at like 10am. How disgusting is that? 35 hours.. 17 minutes... its so close but so damn far. BOS give me my results already!!!!

Tis a good point Pritnep, I'll probably do the same. Write down both results and then compare to my real thing. Am I the only one who is about *this* close to freaking out? I'm too impatient and too nervous for this.

Oooh I plan on doing the same. The instant I get those results I'm plugging them into SAM/JUAI (whichever one is fastest!).. I hate the disparity between getting HSC results and getting UAI results. Yeah, I heard a lot of people saying last year that they got their SMS results early, same as...

Jirwin - *laughs* Yuuuup. Ditto. Though I will try to get online, just to see it that way. Last year was hell trying to get on to see my maths results (though, the sms did come in at like 5.40, it woke me up before my alarm) But this year.. I'm having a sleepover with a few friends with no...

I did the same areas of debate but without Neale :P Yeah I argued the same, that context clearly affects the writings of the historian.. But I did take the viewpoint that Camden was more reliable than Haigh simply as a result of Haigh's desire to change all the views of QEI.

the fact that he questioned definitely allowed an easy bring in of PostModernism and contrast it to modernism but I really just wish the stupid source had taken a stance. It was really frustrating with all those rhetorical questions. I mean, anyone can question the basis of something, its much...

I hated Question 1, that source had no opinion, it just asked questions! how the heck am I supposed to link it to my modernist/PM debate if it doesn't have an opinion (Okay I did, but ugh. It was frustrating. stupid fence-sitting argument) Question 2 was good though.

I used Pride and Prejudice A Dolls House Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte Tess of the D'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy To show that at the beginning of the century the fear of consequences of searching for freedom were too high for the individuals to properly seek it, while as a result of the shift...

Well thats comforting, about the lenient marking. Memorising an essay? I don't know about everyone else, but I remember main ideas and quotes/analysis and then shove them into whatever question I get. Not quite the same as memorising an entire essay (that, I think, is suicide. What happens if...

I think both are viable interpretations, but I think its about how well you argue it. I took it as the paradoxical nature of the relationship between the individual and society - while they're always striving for freedom, and the society wants them to have a semblance of freedom, the society...

hmm.. I suppose it all depends on how the markers see it on the day, doesn't it? I mean if they're getting a lot of E2's then I reckon it'd have to scale up a bit.. at least that's my understanding of it (I could be dead wrong, who really knows how the HSC markers mark? lol)

So I suppose as a raw it'd have to be about.. yeah 38/37 or so to get 40, since we know Ex1 doesn't scale up like Mx1 does. (stupid english, not scaling as well).. especially if its only going to scale by a few marks. Ugh, band E2 here I come.

Oh I pity my marker as well. In fact I pity the markers of every single one of my exams. I am absolutely positive that my handwriting is illegible. :P I'm the same, but with Texts and Ways of thinking. Were we given a choice, of course not, because our school .. *grumbles incoherently* point...

I know I'm late, really late to do this, but the last few months have been absolutely mad. But here is "Shades of Grey" a short story, by moi. Enjoy :)

Module - Texts and Ways of Thinking Elective - Individual and Society Pages for Essay - 14 Pages for Creative - 16 Total - 30 Merrymadi, I get about.. ugh maybe 8-10 words per line, if I'm lucky? halfway through the exam it falls to about 5-8 as my handwriting gets bigger.. and remember -...

Coz I'm not even bothering to dream about getting into UNSW or USyd. They're my first choices but 99.2 and 99.5 are unattainable for me, even with my subjects. I wish you good luck though! (also yeah, travelling distance, much more convenient) Now that we're 12 hours (almost) after the exam, I...

Ahhh it was so nice and broad, I could adapt my essay and creative to both Individual and society questions. I think this is the happiest I've been after an Extension English exam. In fact, i wrote heaps more than I normally would - 30 pages! (it really is an achievement for me lol :P)

I found the essay question was really easily moulded ... I just defined intimidation as how society controls the individual, and freedom/autonomy as what the individual wants to achieve, and the paradoxical nature of their relationship. I got.. 14 pages for my essay (prepared and altered to...
