    Demographics of Sydney Universities/Areas

    A few of my classmates just finished up on a weirdly heated conversation about the demographics of the USyd, UNSW, Macq and UTS, but with no conclusion. The conversation was not heated because of discussing the races of people (obviously neither should this thread), but heated due to all of us...

    another internal mark question

    If say i was to be very close to 1st place in terms of internal marks. but externally kinda bummed out, and 1st went on to get a mid 90s would my rank see me like 'scabbing' marks from other people? So say this happens. Internal I get submitted 92, 1st is at 94. Externally, I get 86 and am...

    HSC English Marking

    Do you reckon they mark english more leniently in the hsc than they do at school? I was told by my teacher not to stress too much about one of my assessment essays because "its an 18 here, but i would likely say that its a 20 in the hsc, maybe a 19 if they were harsh on you"

    How Many Words For Paper 1 Unseen Texts

    How many words (not like the amount of lines) should I be writing to ensure full marks for 3, 4, 5, and 6 marker questions within reasonable bounds? This is with the assumption that there still is a good level of quality to the response, obviously, there's no point writing out 2 pages for a 3...

    Expanding The Premise In The Thesis and Topic Sentences

    As the title suggests, if we are given either a curveball or a generic question, how do you expand/tweak the premise in such a way that it shapes itself to my own understanding and perspectives of a text ? (with a caveat that I'm taking a memorised approach) Thanks :)

    How fast do people write?

    How fast do yall write in terms of characters per minute? For my common mod, mainly because I've memorised, I'm managing about 190 characters per minute (but because average word length is 6.5 excluding spaces, it translates to about 29 words per min)

    Writing more than given space

    Just wondering if markers will penalise you if you write over the lines or liek "stretch" the lines by writing a word extra either side of the lines. I often do this for all of my short ans responses, and tend to write like 2-3 extra lines for most questions that are above 3 marks. And if they...

    How HSC Markers, Mark Essays

    I've been told that markers often just look at introduction, designate a mark and then wiggle about the mark they set in the intro by +/- 1 throughout the essay, particularly looking at topic sentences and linking sentences. Anyone's teachers say something different about this? Thanks ! :)
