The Merchant of venice question wasnt TOO bad, was able to somewhat adapt to it with my prepared key ideas. From vague memory, it looks like every question had a specific concept... they really are cracking down on rote learners! With the unseen texts, I agree. It was difficult (i was already...

Honestly same. But if the whole NSW struggles, then maybe the band 6 cut off will be lower?

Merchant of Venice people where you at! Deception question huh...

It's really admirable that you did well! If it were me, my brain would have short-circuited... I'm used to practising bizarre, specific question e.g. T.S Eliot essay question requiring a specific poem, the need to reference to quote etc... but non essays? I would struggle It really sucks how...

Whoa...what... That is so unexpected, how did you go in it? Could you tell me more about the possibility of interview or conversation, like where you heard of it? This is legitimately the first I heard of this.

This is something I'm curious about too. Supposedly they ask you to write a conversation or dialogue, do you write it like a script or...

To this day, I am still not 100% sure on how to write a discursive piece. Like I understand it's more conversational andexplores multiple viewpoints of a topic, but i dont know the expected standards of one (Im the type that needs to see an example to understand, which my teacher hasn't exactly...

Goodbye to my chances of even scrapping a band 5 if that happens lol I sincerely hope it won't happen.

100% me as well! For Common mod, A and B: I wrote generic essays and attempted to adapt it to queations under time conditions (Ik you are not supposed to memorise essays but I am desperate ahahaha). I might write out my cheatsheet listing quotes, flow of ideas etc... Completely lost on how to...

I absolutely despite the way English is tested in the HSC exam. I don't know how they can expect us to read and analyse the unseen texts in the 10 minutes reading time...or write up 2 sophisticated essays + creative/discursive/whatever on the spot for 40 minutes each. Anyone have tips for time...

They have, at least for T.S Eliot. Hollow Men and Journey of the Magi were specifically asked in 2016 and 2017 respectively. I would study all poems just in case, but I'm hoping they will be merciful on us too haha. If a specific poem is asked for, I just hope its not Journey of the Magi

I had no idea HSCNinja even had an ATAR calculator, how accurate is it? I will check it out soon anyway. Also, would it be better to put final cumulative marks or raw trial marks?

Hi! I know its important to work hard to achieve the best results you can, but i dont want to fall into the trap of aiming for an ATAR that's completely out of my reach. So, I'm curious to what ATAR range I'm currently at. School rank: 350+ Subject | Rank | Band 6s in 2018 English Advanced...

Yup, I decided to pursue a math major. I also thought it would be better to go into the industry after earning my bachelor's degree and if I needed additional qualifications, then I would go pursue Master's degree. My main priority is to get a job after graduating from uni after all. Thank you...

Hey, if you google HSC English new syllabus questions, some websites (e.g. Matrix tutoring, HSC blogging site - i can't remember the name from the top of my head) provide sample HSC questions and even practise papers (I know Matrix even provides an practise Common Module question, so that should...

Hmm, I always assumed it was under Bachelor of Commerce/Bachelor of Science like the other universities, and even selected that as one of my preferences. Would it make a difference in which faculty I study under? Hey thank you so much for the detailed advice, it's been very helpful! As long as...

That's fine, the social life is really more of a bonus thing and the lack of it won't be problem as I tend to conscientious about study anyway. At the end of the day, I prioritise on getting the most out of my degrees, particularly gaining commercial + quantitative and some technical skills Work...

Thank you all again for your insights! :) So I narrowed it down to commerce with either computer science (decided to not consider pursuing software engineering in university, not quite sure about IT) or math: either applied or statistics, took a brief look at what pure mathematics involves and...

Hey thank you both for your replies! In terms of my current math abilities, it's definitely not at the standard of those doing 4U or very high E4 marks...However in relative to my other HSC subjects, it's my strongest along with Economics and I definitely have the motivation to work hard in...

Hi! So I'm a year 12 student facing a dilemma in choosing a double degree with commerce. I know it's possible to change courses even during university but as much as possible, I would like to avoid that... which is why I wanted to make an informed decision before applying for UAC. As far as I...
