Well, that's a little bit too much from a single quote. I use about two or three techniques per quote. So I usually end up around five quotes per paragraph.

TBH 2-3 techniques per paragraph is not enough as it's not really displaying your knowledge of your texts. My English teacher expects at least 10 sophisticated techniques (effect and links) per paragraph (250 words) because you do get marked on the content as well. However, as a general guide -...

Hah thanks guys! I'm not too surprised about Biology though.

English Advanced: 1/80 Modern History: 1/25 Ancient History: 5/23 Visual Arts: 5/20 Biology: 23/40 School Rank: 40s

I agree wholeheartedly with this post. At the beginning of year 11, I did not know how to write an essay properly or succinctly. I read my old essays from year 11 and it was absolutely cringeworthy! But I think the choice of my subjects that are based on essays definitely gave me the edge in...

Don't worry. I'm on the same boat as you guys... I've been skipping a couple days of school as well.

Just remember that year 11 will not be a reflection of how you'll perform in year 12 - I received a similar mark as you for English Advanced in year 11 at the end of the year but in year 12, I came first overall for my internals. My advice is NOT to drop to English Standard and there is still...

I came first overall in both English Advanced and Modern History without tutoring.

I feel somewhat sentimental about the end of school, even though I hated the overall experience of being at school. I'll miss the teachers, friendly environment, etc... as for university, no one will give a shit about you.

Norwegian Wood - Haruki Murakami

Same. I went from a shit school to a top 40 school and my marks improved significantly - probably due to the quality of teachers we have here. Anyways, I received full marks in an essay in the English trials from a marker but I got only 14/20 from another marker. I ended up with the average...

How do you feel about it?

How do you guys feel now that your BOW is over? I feel somewhat disappointed because there is a lot of things that I could've done better. Fuck.

Haha, none. I didn't even go "hardcore" studying for my trials like some of you.

Pompeii & Herculaneum: 22/25 Mycenaean Society: 20/25 Pericles: 22/25 Greek World (500 - 440BC): 23/25

I'll rephrase what I said in the similar thread: Why spend so much $$$ to go tutoring when you can just revise/do some actual study/hand in essays to your teacher? But if you have a shit teacher or you don't understand some of the concepts, well that's understandable. Personally, I used to...

English Advanced: 4/79 (92/105) Ancient History: 2/21 (87/100) Modern History: 1/25 (85/100)

English Advanced Comprehension - 14/15 Module A - 17/20 Module C - 17/20 This is all I got back so far. I lol'd at my comprehension marks, after that goddamn Mushroomer poem.
