    Question for VA State-rankers (or anyone who did well!!)

    Hi there! I finished the HSC in 2014 and managed to do pretty well for art. In terms of your questions: 1. I'm only speaking from my experiences, but I think 2 artists in Section Two may be too little. I usually wrote about 3 artists in Section Two when I was in Year 11, and when I hit Year...

    The lazy way to ace art exams with ease (short guide for risk takers only)

    So true- I feel that right before the HSC I was pumping out the same essay with the same four artists over and over again. I think it's quite easy to write a memorised essay that addresses most of the essay's points, but it just takes an extra step to mould the points of the essay to the...

    The lazy way to ace art exams with ease (short guide for risk takers only)

    Brilliant post! Section II is the essay. I mean, considering you pretty much can't prepare for Section I, the mindset of the widely acclaimed art critic is extremely important. And as Confound said, being an 'art detective' and analysing even the small details such as scale helps greatly as well.

    Please Share Advice for 2015ers

    A new poster here, but I also read quite widely for Ancient History which might've helped me get my final Ancient mark of 95. Wider reading depends on your units of course, but for my elective Sparta, I consulted Paul Cartledge a lot which gave me tons of very useful quotes. Consider getting...

    2014 HSC BoWs - How is it going? Thoughts and feelings?

    Hey guys! How's it going? Judging by all the posts, you guys have spent a ton of time on your BoW! How long do you think you spent on it overall? I'm not even sure how long I did mine for, I kind of lost track of time to be honest haha, but I'd say around 200 hours at least
