    Mod C ideas

    Honestly, I reckon 95% of people would be a firm no for that. I'd probably be able to write pages and pages, that's how much it ruined Year 12 for me

    Creeping sense of stress and dread as HSC comes closer

    Of course, there's a few methods you can use to calm yourself down. 1) You've been working your butt off for the last year and are now just at the final stretch. Think of it as a marathon, you've done the brunt of the work and you're approaching the final stretch. You just want to give it one...

    Mod C ideas

    It really depends on what style of writing you want to engage in. I'd say writing about the Covid-19 pandemic would be really convenient as it's literally been the biggest thing over the last 2 things. Maybe something on technology advancements could be quite contemporary and relevant in today's...

    Got a link here about Henry Lawson --> https://www.matrix.edu.au/the-ultimate-henry-lawson-cheatsheet-english-standard-module-a/ Also feel kinda bad that OP didn't get a response 19 years ago

    Help with uni degree change

    It's also important to remember that as a hypothetical example, if you were studying med in uni, don't go about expecting a 6 figure salary straight out of uni. That may seem obvious, but regardless of which field of work you choose to specialize, it's a bit waiting game before you can start to...

    How are you guys preparing for Mod C?

    I'm not sure if you may agree with this, but I'd say Mod C is the module which requires the most adaptation and versatility on the day, especially if creatives you've been working on don't address the question. Thus, having a range of Mod C pieces (3-4, ideally 1 of each type as they are free to...

    mod c

    I think I saw one previous question (not sure if it was HSC or trial), where it was like use a quote from one of your other modules as the basis of your piece. In that case, that would actually be quite helpful as you would have 20+ quotes from your last 2 essays to use as a starting point.

    Help with uni degree change

    I guess what I meant by the flexibility is that in university, you have the freedom to swap and pick up new courses if you don't feel like it isn't working. But in high school, you don't get this same thing. I would say a business related degree is very flexible, just because there's lot of...

    Help with uni degree change

    I guess that's also where the greater degree of flexibility in university can be a big advantage to you, as it allows for some level of experimentation when deciding what is and what isn't for you.

    help! I don't know what HSC subject to drop...

    Looks like the odds are in favour of you dropping maths and keeping VA: Maths is your worst subject You enjoy VA much more than maths (despite VA having a major work, you enjoy this specifically) You want to do a film media degree for which art may be useful while maths won't be as useful...

    Help with uni degree change

    Well, from what I can see, UTS should have a IPT (internal program transfer) like UNSW does. From what I've read, you want to delve into a career around accounting (thus, accountant/investment banker as you mentioned) but you want to do a more STEM course like engineering or comp sci. Unless...

    UQ medicine (graduate)

    The MSO website does also have a post-grad specific forum. https://medstudentsonline.com.au/forum/forums/gamsat.62/ --> post-grad med would imply that one has to write the GAMSAT to be eligible

    Help!! I cant write english essays in time

    The only issue I would mention with that is that if you do want to do this, which is definitely fine to do, make sure you don't struggle when it comes to analysis and linking back to the question. Under time-pressuring conditions, the last thing you want is to have a mind blank in the exam.

    Masks to be compulsory during HSC exams

    Considering these exams are 50% of the HSC and the most important exams to date, I'm not too sure they would

    help with question

    Quite evidently is the stark contrast in colour (black with a dazzling white light in image 1 while image 2 has vibrancy with plenty of colour). Honestly, the crux would be on the visual techniques, just because image 2 literally has 4 words, which you can't really talk about in much substance...

    Complex no. q

    If you add a complex number and its conjugate, as the complex portion of it cancels each other out, you're left with 2 x Re(zw). So with a = 1 + i and b = 1 - i (which are conjugates), if you add them, you'll be left with 2, which is 2 x Re(a)

    stiumulus help

    The gaze of people in different directions reinforces the idea that we, as individuals, only have a limited perspective on certain experiences (copied text from the image) Can't really talk about salience as nothing really stands out as prominent (it's just a big mess of a picture to be honest)...

    Common module

    If you're doing the HSC this year, then yes. If you're doing it next year (2022 graduation), then I'm assuming you would have already had your first official Year 12 assessment, which in that case, you would also need a related text

    Common module

    So in the actual HSC, the essay is only on your prescribed text, and that's it. However, for people who have started Year 12 this year, your first assessment will be a comparative essay, where on top of your prescribed text, you will need to find a related text (often in a different form) to...
