    How much did you write?

    Pfft it's not like they give you marks for length! It all depends on handwriting size (I mean if I wrote 3 pages in Section I that would be pretty fucked of me considering in trials I fitted the words 'conflicting perspectives' on ONE LINE) anyway!

    How much did you write?

    Yes and it's largely true, but there is no possible way that you could fit a 'quality' response on 1 page particularly on the essay section.

    Exam preparation

    Jesus Christ that's hardcore. How the fuck were you not dead? I didn't really sleep before Eco, but that really reflected in my marks :l. I... sleep early and wake up 1/2 hour earlier than usual. But I don't go over notes, but rather a sheet of quotes/stats. Lol HSC, gonna fail!

    Getting into Cambridge from the humble HSC

    Woah okay, before you even think about Oxbridge you need to think about your finances. Unlike US universities, the UK doesn't offer that much financial aid at the undergraduate level for international students. It costs a fucking ton and you're on your own basically. I'm postponing my plans for...

    hamlet

    Create your own reading (i.e. 'Hamlet is a play about the death of idealism', or 'Hamlet is about the struggle of an individual to understanding his shifting world' or some shit) and practise tweaking to questions. So if the question's about love and your reading is about Hamlet is about the...

    Hamlet. Where to start?

    Make an overarching thesis about Hamlet off your class notes. So... Hamlet is a play about [something here]. And then develop 3 philosophical sub-ideas off that - remember the rubric asks for your own PERSONAL READING of the play. So for example, my reading is 'Hamlet is a play about the...

    Writing stamina

    Handwrite everything. And then mentally block out any pain during the exam.

    Yet another ATAR estimate!

    Nah, not awks, I'm REALLY vocal about who I dislike - I'm generally apathetic/like towards 90% of the year. So high chance is that you're in the latter, rather than earlier. And yess, Hamlet exemplar was mine. Obviously pre-prepared with atrocious handwriting! My specialty. How did you know...

    Yet another ATAR estimate!

    Since I pretty much just told you who I am... SO THAT'S WHY I DIDN'T GET AN INTERVIEW FOR MY SCHOLARSHIP? Fuck yes, I was so scared of that (lol Year 7). Yeah, English I got... 80/90 LOLOLOL what a joke (Paper 1 you fat bitch :l), that went badly. And I fucked up that stupid anthology...

    TRIALS Help

    This this this. I got bogged down with information in my modern trial, at the expense of getting a few more marks in other sections (Ho, I'm looking at you). Just know everything generally and practise past papers (PARTICULARLY in source evaluation - that is really just a skill you need to develop).

    Yet another ATAR estimate!

    Creatives - (to what the extent, if any) can they be unusual?

    Hahaha that was my attempt at non-cliche. Guess it was too complicated/unique? FML where is the line between simple/understandable/unique and simple/understandable/cliche? Fuck this shit, I'm cuddling my Extension creative - AOS gives me the shits.
