    English - How many related texts are you preparing?

    For your AOS Belonging, how many related texts should you/is it ideal to have prepared? My teacher said four-five, but I'm not sure if that is excessive. Would it be disadvantageous to go in with a mere two texts for belonging/modules? Thanks. Help is appreciated :)

    Faking quotes?

    Did this for my English Paper 2. Went into the exam with only one real related text for Module C so I fabricated my way out of it. Worked well enough. And as for Modern, I do it when quoting historians etc if I suddenly do not remember them

    Is there anybody who thinks they have a BAD cohort this year?

    Not in my case. I'm pretty certain that my cohort this year is nowhere up to the standards of last years...

    Does anyone else think we are given way too much time?

    I agree. The only subject I have real time constraints with is English. For Chemistry, I have plenty of time left over.

    Compeition in Schools

    Well I honestly did not think it would matter too much as he said he was just checking a few things. Probably naive of me.

    Compeition in Schools

    There's very minimal competition at my school considering about half the cohort honestly does not give a shit about the HSC. However, there are a few who claim not to study, but in actual fact do. One of the top English people borrowed my essay to look at, and then photocopied it for the Trials =/

    Best Trial exam so far?

    Surprisingly English Paper 1. Thought I would've done better on Biology but oh well.

    HSC Oral Examinations

    I completely agree! The time passed too quickly. I felt that it was insufficient to show what I was capable of. Secretly, I wish the conversation went for more than 10 minutes.

    HSC Oral Examinations

    The nerves definitely led to many moments of silence where my mind could comprehend the question, but I could not answer. Haha it's over I guess. Did you use lots of different grammar/structures?

    HSC Oral Examinations

    Hey everyone, how did you all go for your Languages Oral? Was it easier than expected? Worse? Did they ask the questions you expected them to? I just finished my Japanese Oral today. Glad to get 20% of my HSC out of the way, but it was more difficult that I was prepared for. The questions asked...

    Sickness/misadventures

    I'm not sure about your school, but for mine they just sit the same test as everyone else when they return. Yes it is unfair, especially if they are not genuinely sick and just pretending. In fact, for my Trials last week, a handful of people were absent for the whole duration of examinations.

    Who hates the fact that English is compulsory?

    ...Kind of sounds like my teacher. What I do it research information relating to the texts on the internet/look at Study Guides for general information to supplement what I am given.

    Doing option by myself?

    Wish I did another Chemistry option topic independently. FFS, Shipwrecks is awful. Glad that at least my Bio teacher chose a good option.

    2011 Trial HSC discussion

    Feeling really unnerved about my Trials. Wish I had studied more consistently but I'll just have to deal with it. Hopefully I can maintain my ranks *fingers crossed*

    Advantages/Disadvantages of a model?

    Advantages: - Models enable processes to be observed easily and concepts to be understood as they simplify the process Disadvantages: - Often models are a gross oversimplification of a biological concept and can lead to misconceptions - Does not show the dynamic biological processes - Relative...
