45 quotes, solid af. That includes one worded quotes though too right? haha
Haha definitely lol. Got a good amount of 3/4 worders that allows for great analysis. I can pretty much litter my essay with evidence, analysis and language interpretation along with linkage to context - could get myself a solid 17/18.

Btw, how much quotes are you guys using? I've only got like 5 altogether xD Are quotes really necessary for this module? I've been under the impression that quotes are only necessary for Mod B (critical study of text), and for poems :S I'm seriously shitting bricks xD
are you serious??? i have like 10 minimum per essay even more most of the time

6 THEMES? AHAHAHAHAHA
I'm only doing three: social injustice, humanities connection to the natural world and the motives of creating life

Do you know what raw mark we need out of 105 to get an hsc mark of 80 for English adv?

It's hard to pin point as some texts align better than some others, some questions are harder for some texts than other etc etc. But it's around 70/105 raw for a HSC mark of 80.

68% in HSC exam last year got you 85, I think this year may be slightly more difficult so we could be looking at 68% -> 86?

What happens if you got like 95% raw last year? Does it add to your aggregate by what, 140?

Woah guys you have a lot of quotes! Though analysis in depth is required for modules B and C, as far as I know, you aren't meant to litter Module A with so many quotes and deconstruction. My teacher's rule of thumb is 40% context and 60% analysis. So now I'm not sure whether your approaches or my approach is correct :/

I won't claim I know much about aggregate, but 140 addition is a lot. I think 95-96 raw last year would've been a state rank.
