    Rate my Belonging Story

    It's a bit overwritten, and the topic doesn't allow you any subtlety.

    Raw to Scaled mark

    Thanks Namu. That really helps.

    Length of Belonging Essay?

    Having a short creative is good, but remember you should be spending about 100-200 words just integrating the stimulus in creatives. That'll blow you out with a 1600 essay, especially if you have to integrate a wierd essay stimulus too. Cut down to as little as you can, then blow it out in...

    To what EXTENT!!!

    Oh, definately always use first person. Just do it at the beginning, like "I believe that x is valid/not valid/only partially valid" and never mention it again. That way you tick any personal boxes the marker might think of, make a value judgement, but still keep a sense of formality.

    Disabled kid on the road to nowhere!

    I disagree with having a utilitarian value be placed over life - it shouldn't be commodified into "well his death could save x". Unless he can make a rational conscious decision for euthenasia, he should be kept alive.

    ATAR estimate please :]

    It's pointless without your marks. Saying your 1/1 for extension means absolutely nothing.

    To what EXTENT!!!

    No, no, to "discuss" means your not expected to come up with a value judgment. e.g. "Although this is true here, it is also true here., and not true here." Evaluate is ""This is only partially true" or "This is always true to some extent" - your argument must be far more cohesive.

    Hopeless at creative writing

    There's always been a short story, in both extension and AOS, hasn't there? Well, not a short story, but a "any text type" question. It's the essays they play around with.

    Start Major Work in Yr 11? Good Idea?

    Did the OP claim that multimedia was LESS subjective than a short story? Oh, and for 99.9 you'll need well above 95 in your englishes. 99.9 is around about 94 average scaled, which is about 96 in 2unit, 48 in 3 unit, 49 in 4 unit. That's pretty ambitious.

    To what EXTENT!!!

    Our sense of identity is stronger when we feel that we belong. To what extent is this true of the texts you have studied? This statement is only partially valid when considering the texts ... The texts ... show this statement to be true in that a sense of communal identity is developed and...

    To what EXTENT!!!

    "To what extent" is the most common question in history. All it basically asks you to do is make a clear judgement.

    how many TWO unit past papers?

    I've done about 5 post trials. Although all in about 2 hours: none of them have been timed because I just can't be bothered going over and checking. What marks have people been getting? I'm on 110-118 from the last 5 papers.

    During examination reading time

    I know you're not allowed to hold pens during that time, but are you allowed to highlight? That would make things so much easier during long comprehension passages in English and sources in History, for example.

    is ALL BECOZ OF MY HISTORY TEACHER!

    SC is a joke. At grammar, we never even had trial SCs, or practise SCs. We never studied for it. We just walked in and did it. That's how little importance our school placed on it, and it's hard to find anyone who got below 90 in anything at our school.

    Best political party ever!

    National Socialist has a bad connotation.

    1998 hsc shm

    Maybe they want you to be really obvious at put the 16 as 4^2?

    what ATAR am i looking at?

    Much easier if you posted your trial marks or something ...

    my subjects are a bit different, could anyone estimate an ATAR for me?

    Maths is bad, but 80% for english is 84/105 which aligns to abour 91-92 ...

    Non-Maths HSC

    Hmm. I tried it out on my own 10 units of humanities and it went to 99.95 actually. And that's one case. We've always been consistent across the years at our school. Good people do well. Saying 4 unit english is subjective is akin to saying 2 unit english is subjective or modern history is...
