    Emily Dickinson

    I ended up using 'This is my letter to the world' & 'A narrow fellow in the grass'

    Emily Dickinson

    I was interested to see which Emily Dickinson poems people chose to use?

    So who didn't title their story

    The contrast is really quite amusing. Those who did not title their stories are so certain that they will not lose marks or that no marks will be gained. Those who did title their story trying to convince themselves titling their story will get them a mark. I titled my story just because I felt...

    Easy marking

    I know at my school the teachers were looking to "take" marks in the Trials. It was emphasised by our teachers that in the HSC they are looking to "give" marks.

    Whats the difference between...

    I agree that the name means nothing. I have no interest in engineering at all! But I have heard on numerous occasions the quality of the UNSW engineering department. Correct me if I am wrong.. isn't it the top engineering faculty in Australia?

    Section 1 - Stimulus

    Seriously? The point was stressed by our teacher as a past marker that the 5 mark question should be approximately three pages. I ended up doing 6 and a half pages total in the end for section 1. NB: I know they say quality not quantity, but if you are doing advanced it should be quality and...

    Writing on the white pages

    The person next to me got a second booklet wrote one sentence and was finished. A bit of a waste of paper. I doubt you would be deducted marks.

    How many related texts???

    I had prepared three piece of additional material and it wasn't hard to adapt to only use one. I was stoked to see this because I knew this would happen, those who had a prepared essay would struggled to adapt.

    General Thoughts: English Paper 1 (AOS)

    I thought the CSSA paper was much harder too. I did my exam reverse starting with the essay, creative writing then the reading task. I finished with about 2 minutes to go. I wrote six pages on each section. Hoping for an overall mark of over 80%.

    ATAR Estimate in the absence of SAM

    I think I need an 87. That will be reduced by HSC Plus depending on my results in Economics and Advanced English.

    ATAR Estimate in the absence of SAM

    Easily within the top 100 each year. I'm a little unsure but I believe was closer to 50.

    Answers to Accommodation/Colleges questions at UNSW

    Does anyone about the payment method for the kenso colleges? I was under the impression it was a once a semester fee? Anyone feel like clarifying?

    IPT Scaling

    I have the same problem and concern. I have achieved 90% and over in all the school based assessments and achieved a rank of 1/18 but besides myself and another 2 students the rest of the class are hopeless. I am hoping to achieve mid 80's towards low 90's ATAR. Any comments?

    Best Economics Textbook

    I couldn't agree more. This is the path I have been undertaking in my economics study. I'm surprised by the variety of responses to the Reilly textbook, I feel that it addresses the syllabus points and has a great deal depth in each topic. I do own the excel book but as previously mentioned it...

    Related Text: Kevin Rudd's Speech.

    I'm using this as one of my pieces of additional material too. I really like it and I don't know many other people that are using it as a source either.
