My teacher's advice was even if you have no idea how to do a question still write down processes/formulas that you think may be associated with the solutions because they've changed the marking a little. Apparently, if you tackle a 3 marker and are somewhat on the right track, they'll pay you a...

as expected... could do most of it...didn't know how to approach about 3-5 questions (well, parts of the bigger 'questions). Application of calculus is usually my strong point but I found the trout question really hard :/ could not do the last 2 parts. Overall, it was a fair exam.

Seriously!? They must be Draconian with the marking then. What do they expect? A PhD thesis? For god's sake we have 40 minutes to write it, even if someone is really knowledgeable, you can bet there is almost no-one that can write down absolutely everything pertinent to the question really...

Noo...I clearly remember an alabaster cup in the Antiquity 2 book. Ohh well, one mark's not going to make any difference...a shitty mark will stay a shitty mark. Yes, people were walking early out of mine...many others were just sleeping on the desks. Well it certainly disadvantaged those...

I made a big emphasis on how little is known about his early life. Talked about how Egypt's situation was stable during his childhood, how he had a brother, Thutmose and thus, was never intended to be king of Egypt. Mentioned Amenhotep III and how, judging from an inscritption on a cup found at...

I reckon the difficulty of the test depended on what topics everyone was doing. For instance,reading through the paper now...the personality question (a) was the same for pretty much everyone (background). However, answering that for Akhenaten (which was my option) was much harder than...

Wow, that sounds just a little dodgy...considering social structure was an integral part of the economy question (economic roles of each class).

Wow, while I didn't do the question myself it sounds spot on! I wouldn't say adding a lot of contextual background will give you an advantage over someone who doesn't, but as long as after writing that you still answer the question adequately it should be fine.

Something along the lines of: Pompeii: Earth tremors before eruption, rain of pumice in early stages, some of the six surges do not reach pompeii, sixth surge most severe. Covered by 90-110 cm of volcanic material. Herculaneum: No evidence of seismic activity before eruption, no rain of...

*Said their political power was not absolute but they fulfilled the following roles: *Had two votes in major trials. *Were only two members of gerousia under 60. *Could appoint officials to receive foreign visitors. *Issues involving public roads and unmarried heiresses.

Exactly, I was afraid that I will answer it in like 2 pages and have nowhere to go. Wait..if you talked only vaguely about diplomacy what was your main argument? I would have gone with his system of diplomacy and reasons why it was a peaceful era, along with talk about how he still depicted...

Challenging... P&H: alright, but could have done much better in the 10 marker. Talked about Lazer, Bisel, the other two sources and overall contributions of improving technology. My answer was pretty vague full of lame phrases and vague comments...should have been more specific about what they...

sorry double post

Mod A (Wit/Donne): Fine, was always my weakest module, but I didn't really write in third person just talked about "audience appreciation is augmented through exploration of the inherent human passions of...." Hope that's fine :/ Mod B (Speeches): THEY DIDN'T SPECIFY A SPEECH!!! Question was...

Spent 30 mins on creative, 45 mins on essay and, 35 on short answers. Finished just in time :)

I'd say best case: 39-40-ish Worst case: well, hell's the limit.

Haha my main evidence was evolution of the foot motif. I'd say its not paramount to getting a good mark, as long as you talked about something else solidly enough to back it up.

Hmm...according to SMH: 75,168: Number of tudents taking at least one HSC subject this year 69,277: Number of students sitting an English exam today well...shit. 5891 people were just given the biggest advantage possible.

I don't think so provided you used it adequately, the marker should get it. But I noted the stimulus I used at the top just in case. "Central element" is pretty vague. It means you didn't have to quote it in your story directly. I used the first one, it was central to the setting up of my...

Phew, thank god I interpreted that right :) Some people were saying it was a picture of the speaker's children or something :P
