    Economics- HSC Essay predictions 2015

    Well I'm almost certain there's either going to be an external stability or CAD question. Economic growth seems likely but unemployment is also relatively likely too.

    No idea how to do this mc at all

    The key to this question is recognising the base year. The answer is A, which can be worked out by dividing year 3's $820 by 1.25.

    Section 3 - Extended Response

    Surely that's new then, because if you were to look at past raw marks you would find the rounded percentages for either whole or half marks out of 105 align with them quite nicely. EDIT: The link is just a 2:3 ratio in terms of assessments. If you scroll down the bottom, you will see that it...

    Section 3 - Extended Response

    I don't think that's how it works buddy. If you look at people's actual past raw marks, you'd find its taken out of 105 and then simplified to a mark out of 100 after a couple of simple calculations.

    Your Approach To Paper 2

    They've only specified once for Module C since 2005 and that was in 2011.

    Length + amount of textual evidence? (struggling to use a writer)

    Top students usually use five or more quotes per paragraph.

    Nominated Poems

    Yeah pretty much.

    Nominated Poems

    There is a chance but it's extremely low. I had a look at all past module C questions the other day back until 2005, and only the 2011 had text-specific questions. The rest of them had a single question common to the elective.

    Economics- HSC Essay predictions 2015

    I think that's rather difficult to pinpoint as there are no real trends, especially since the new syllabus in 2012.

    That was in last year's exam, so unlikely.

    Using prescribed texts in the Module's as a related text for discovery?

    Just because BOSTES says no doesn't mean you will not be disadvantaged. The markers have an inherent bias against those who use prescribed texts as related texts.

    Economics Essay Predictions

    BOP/CAD/External Stability, Economic Growth, Microeconomic Policy/Structural Change, Exchange Rates, Protection and Effectiveness of Policy are all somewhat likely. Environmental sustainability, Labour Markets and Case Study essays are very unlikely.

    pls pls

    No. Your HSC mark is aligned and your school marks are not necessarily indicative of how well you will perform in the HSC, both internally and externally, due to moderation and alignment. For us to estimate your ATAR you need to provide ranks and not marks.

    Best Textbook for HSC Maths Extension 1??

    The Cambridge textbooks are arranged the way in which the authors recommend the course should be tackled. Many schools approach the course in different ways, often examining components of the HSC course during the preliminary year, and vice versa during the HSC year. As such, both textbooks...

    Scaling?? to such an extent?!

    Your 95 is an aligned mark. Scaled marks are on a completely separate spectrum to aligned marks. Aligned marks attempt to fit you into bands whereas your scaled mark attempts to measure you against all other students across the state to determine your ATAR. Your ATAR will be determined from a 10...

    Is Business studies worth doing?

    Why on earth are people under the impression that business scales shit? It's average at the worst.
