yes. I need some help!!!!!!!

I'm currently doing the IT co-op at UTS. It depends on what co-op you're applying for though. If you're applying for the IT co-op, the expectation is that you're passionate about IT... so participate in coding competitions when you get the chance, open-source coding events (Google Code-in is...

Your raw internal marks (report marks, etc) do not contribute towards your final internal marks (the ones used to generate your HSC marks) at all. It is only the ranking that is determined from your raw internal marks that affects your final internal mark. If you come first internally, you...

Started literally 30/31 in my year 10 maths class (everything else except english was average), was around 40th (/135+) in 2u and 16th (/70+) in 3u with marks around 65% (20th/60 in business studies, 12th in english, good for everything else). Hit year 12, started somehow topping everything...

I would not suggest doing eco/comp sci if you're planning on doing a transfer to law. You'd essentially be wasting an entire year of your life (unless you're doing something that can contribute to credit points for law) - you could do eco/comp sci then transfer to eco/law... but that'd be...

4U is not necessary - I didn't do 4u. No matter what subjects you do (barring the VET courses), it is completely possible to get a 99+. My advice is to work as hard as you can on your current subjects (and get 100 for 2u :) ). Do what you'll enjoy, because that's what will ultimately net you...

Although I've never ever seen a question where they've even mentioned the Federal Circuit Court, the Federal Court is above the Federal Circuit Court in terms of hierarchy. The Circuit Court looks over matters broadly relating to family law, administrative law, human rights, migration, privacy...

Your use of evidence is very well-structured and you use articles, legislation and statistics effectively. I'd suggest maybe making your topic sentences more specific. For instance, "Parenting orders made by the Family Court have been ineffective to a moderate extent." is incredibly vague and...

Pikachu is spot on with his answer. I can vouch in that I knew some friends with 750 word creative writing pieces that still received band 6s. I, on the other hand, had 1200 words (which was a shit storm to write... so don't do that).

With the recent reforms (ADVOs translating to different states and what not), they can be argued to be effective to a limited extent in that the government has been proactive in response to issues associated with ADVOs. However, the stronger argument here would be to say that ADVOs are highly...

For advanced english, basically do any paper you can get your hands on - you need all you can get. For 3u/4u, any of the top 10 schools are quite good (specifically JR, Baulkham Hills, the Sydney Boys/Girls and Sydney Grammar). I'd suggest doing papers from all schools (Normanhurst, Cheltenham...

If it's in the "Students Learn To" section, they can ask it as a question by adding a directive verb at the front (typically evaluate or assess if it's not already there). Be prepared for basically every question. However, the HSC typically offers a wide scope when it comes to the crime...

I did pretty good in the HSC, but have never considered myself a natural talent. During my younger years, I did absolutely horrible (from primary school upwards to year 10 - did not make it into ANY OC schools or selective schools). It was only when I actually started investing time in my...

The best stories are often those which are authentic in nature - that is, anecdotal. I'd suggest doing something that you've personally experienced or something you know very well. Put in the effort to develop something amazing so you can bring it on into your HSC. My story was incredibly...

Ngo and Sons is amazing for maths. I went from being absolute shite in maths to state ranking (with much help from Dr Truong, himself). If you ever manage to get him as a teacher, I guarantee you'll improve by a lot.

This link is quite outdated, but should still provide an overview of scaling and other statistics. It's good to look at if you're curious. :)...

When I sat my HSC, I memorised around 8 paragraphs per module and chose those which best met the question's scope. Of course I still had to mould them to the point where they aligned with the question, but it allowed me to remain a lot more flexible. This made sure I was able to bust out a bunch...

From my understanding (or what I was told by my teachers): Contrast = anything where two or more things are very different from one another. e.g. The contrast between notions of femininity and beauty of EBB's Sonnets from the Portuguese and Shakespeare's Sonnet 18. Juxtaposition = the...

Going to assume this is Shakespeare's Sonnet 18 (the infamous "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day"). I studied this for discovery and was very close to using it as my related text. However, Gwen Harwood came knocking on my door. You might want to tell me if this is for discovery or Mod...

If your school has continuously received little to no band 6s for the past few years, it is an indication that your year will probably follow. Of course, this is not a guarantee as your grade may do a lot better. However, granted that your school receives little to no band 6s, you'd probably...
