Well, for starters, I'm positive Module C will have a reflection (unlike last year which I recall definitely throwing a few people off)

Honestly, I would be the worst person to ask anything English related as it was probably my weakest subject. You're much better off asking someone who is actually knowledgeable about it

I guess that's very broad as it doesn't require you to focus on a specific theme or anything

I'm just curious as to what the essay question was. Our essay question we got last year was: How effectively does your prescribed text tell stories to reveal both the personal and shared nature of human experiences? So I jus wanted to know whether this year's question was more generic or more...

I guess that can be conceived as being better, because getting marks before ATARs means people are frantically going on ATAR calculators to try to find out what ATAR they may get, which can actually increase stress people feel. At the end of the day, your ATAR is all that matters, not your...

At least on a good note, you never have to answer short questions for English again and you've finished 1/2 of english completely ... in another 24 hours, you can successfully say I've finished English and don't have to ever analyse Shakespeare or write an essay (unless of course, you were to do...

What was the mark allocation for the short answers by the way

Oh ok, yh I think most schools have that (mine included) and yh, it is usually a week before your exams start

It's kind of weird because even though the Premier League highlights are also like 3 and a half minutes, they're able to show so many more highlights and it seems longer as well than the Stan highlights.

I think it depends ... they may give a 6+ marker on one text which will be a comprehensive one (like an essay or detailed article/fiction piece), so in that case, it would just be the one text. If it is 2 texts which they ask you to compare and contrast, then I would do an integrated structure...

I believe once everyone is in the room, they double check by asking students if they do have a phone, and that if they do go to give it over, they can do so without any penalty. But as is common sense, don't keep it in your pocket, even if it is completely switched off. They have every right to...

Well, you definitely do have subjects which have good scaling, like Advanced English and Biology. With regards to the scaling issue, you can look at it as a positive in a way. Sometimes, the main issue which can arise with doing high scaling subjects is that people will become too complacent and...

This may sound blunt, but it's now the time to not think about your internal ranks or performance, and shift this to the external exams. Why worry about what you cannot change when you have another 50% left of your entire HSC? An 83 is definitely achievable, and with a very strong performance, I...

Pretty much with what has been said above, a gap year can be very beneficial IF (key word is IF) you use is productively, and as said above, don't just use one to lie around all day and not do anything, because if you are going to do this, you will be better off doing to uni. However, some...

At this stage, it's definitely ill-advised to try to do any heavy study or revision ... if anything, sleep early and try to do some light revision in the morning before the exam (so many people undermine the importance of 8-9 hours of quality of sleep before an exam ... make sure you sleep early...

What exactly is buffer week? I don't think I've ever heard of it

Honestly, watching Champions League highlights on Youtube are so funny because when you go to the comments sections, 95% of the comments are along the lines of "Give rights back to Optus" or "3 minutes highlights for this crap", literally no one talks about the game because of how bad the...

Because imagery is a very broad technique (simply defined, it is visually descriptive language), you can use other techniques to support how imagery is used. For example, there may be metaphors, similes, symbolism, contrast, all of which can be used by a poet or author to show imagery, sort of...

Good luck to everyone for their first exam tomorrow and the rest of the HSC. To last an exhausting and physically draining year takes a lot of perseverance and grit, which I'm sure you will be able to show during your exams. All which is required now is one final push for another few weeks...

It's also good to structure your answers based off the STEEL acronym (statement, technique, example, effect, link). It's very simple, but for a 6+ marker question which requires a condensed essay structure, it's very thorough and allows you to main a solid structure, which is very important in...
