    Belonging Essay Word Limit

    It depends on how fast you write though and the length of your other sections. I personally managed to get over 1400 words down for the belonging essay and still wrote more than 1000 for the creative and a substantial amount for the unseen texts. But definitely, don't try to cram too much into...

    Economics Case Study

    Both. In the 2010 HSC paper, from memory, there was a question about how trade and investment are promoted in the case study country. That was a short answer. It has also been tested in the extended response questions, most frequently discussing economic development, quality of life and...

    Aos.

    It also depends on how quickly you can write and how much content you'd like to include to answer the set question. My creative was 1000 words, my belonging essay 1450 words and my modules were between 1200-1300.

    raw marks

    Yeah, exactly. That's particularly true when it comes to mathematics in particular and the whole spectrum of courses from general to extension 2. However, when looking at other subjects such as sciences versus commerce subjects, it's based on the idea that the candidature is stronger in...

    raw marks

    We weren't talking about the aligning process though. As seen in clintmyster's original post, he said that commerce subjects tend to 'scale less', hence the topic of discussion was scaling. Scaling and aligning are completely different processes, but as I have pointed out, scaling is based on...

    Business Studies Case Study?

    Yeah, the extended response question for the 2010 HSC exam was quite difficult, for both question 27 and 28. I found that I also had to really push myself to get stuff down that was relevant to the question!

    Business Studies Case Study?

    Yeah, you might even be better off not suggesting you do a variety and just doing it off your own back. :)

    raw marks

    That's not actually true. Scaling occurs on the basis of the competitiveness of the candidature of the particular course. Difficulty of a subject is also subject to an individual's perspective, as commerce subjects are more analytical in nature as compared to science/maths subjects which...

    handwriting or typing notes?

    I too feel that typing notes is far more convenient because it allows you to cut/copy/paste things around and is also much faster to achieve than handwriting notes. However, I used a combination of both methods (writing and typing) during my HSC, particularly for a subject like economics where...

    using somebody elses notes to study?? is it a good idea?

    While I think that using someone else's notes may be beneficial in the sense that it saves you the time associated with writing them yourself, there are advantages associated with making your own notes. As harrisony has pointed out above, one of the major advantages is that it helps you learn...

    UTS or UNSW for cadetship ?

    I personally would go for UTS, and am going for UTS myself haha. The convenience factor is very significant for me, and also I am doing a double degree with my cadetship (full-time uni and full-time work) - in my case, therefore, I really need to minimise any unnecessary travel time, and so...

    Belonging Short Story Word Limit

    I personally think that belonging creatives should be between 700 and 900 words. This will allow you to make up more time in the reading task (unseen texts) and the belonging texts response in Paper 1.

    Business Studies Case Study?

    haha, no problem! I'm glad I could help. I did a variety of case studies, as I said was possible. I did case studies including Coca Cola Amatil, Billabong, JB Hi-Fi and Qantas, to name a few. I found that by using a wide range of case studies I was more prepared for Section 4, and it also...

    what keeps you guys motivated to study??

    All videos aside, you can keep yourself motivated by setting goals that are realistic and achievable. Whether it be a goal related to your atar or potential university course, goals give you a sense of direction and can help you move forward and study when things become difficult or stress of...

    Business Studies Case Study?

    You are supposed to use the case studies across the entire course, across all 5 topics. You will need to apply case study material to support your assertions and the theory required by the question in Section 4 of the hsc paper. You do not have to use the same one or two case studies right...
