Re: 2015 HSC Economics Marathon You want to make your responses easy to read. Using flowery language, especially in economics, is not encouraged. Your responses should be concise and coherent in economics, which includes making life easier for the marker by avoiding the use of unnecessary...

I would advise you remain in Advanced, because although the texts may be slightly more difficult, the atmosphere is more reassuring and mature in comparison to Standard. In Standard, no one literally wants to learn, improve nor be there. Also, Standard English is not an atar killer. This is...

- Deconstruct the question + ALWAYS refer to it - Demonstrate that you have a unique perspective of the question that corresponds with your arguments - Practice essays - I had trouble with the amount of time I had to prepare for the trials so what I did was make a word document and listed all...

I'm quite sure this year's budget is expansionary - there has been no introduction of new taxes, and little cut back on spending. But rather, expansionary fiscal has been used because, like Ekman said, there are political constraints. This budget was delivered to assist not only small businesses...

If you're having trouble finding case studies for particular dot points, I would suggest checking the popular ones (e.g. Qantas/Crumpler). What also helped me was to read SMH - the business section.

In my essays I had about 20-25 quotes with many many techniques, especially when it came to poetry. Pick the most important quotes that support your arguments.

What points are you really arguing? All I see is a restatement of the question, a list of techniques and structure of the poem. And what is the fate of soldiers in WW1???? What is Strange Meeting and Dulce about? Nothing on its actual meaning just a list of techniques on it. Not only is this...

After SOR I exam, people were discussing answers, on my way out one student decided to change his multiple choice answers quickly while supervisors were walking around signing off on students. He did get away with it btw. I had been drinking water before and during the exam. There was 30...

I did standard english as well. Learn to understand rather than mindlessly memorising information. Writing well in an essay on poems and plays won't be indicative of your ability to excel in Law.

I honestly doubt you'll have that kind of question this year. You can analyse 3 poems in depth, in fact I encourage that, but just memorise some really easy quotes for the ones you aren't planning to write about. With Owen, he writes just about the same stuff for all his poems, so if you do get...

You need to understand all of them. However, I only knew 4 poems really well, and the other two not so well. Basically, just try and remember some easy quotes for the ones you aren't planning to write about.

Well at least you have a tutor for english! I didn't :) I firstly set myself the goal of being able to write band 6 essays by the time I got to the HSC exam (this happened early year 12). In order to do this, I picked up a couple band 6 essays and started to learn the mechanics and elements of...

You'll be laughing at this post in a few years time. Smash the Trial/HSC exam and your results in the half-yearlies won't matter too much

Hi, I managed to pull off a B6 in std. You just need to work very hard, write many practice essays and make sure you are at minimum rank 3 in your cohort. The percentage is low because it is compulsory and not everyone that undertakes the HSC has the desire to go to university. Also, it doesn't...

There are plenty of threads on this site addressing the same issue. Advanced is good, don't drop, especially since you will most likely be dealing with unmotivated kids in standard, which isn't a good atmosphere at all. In terms of difficulty, Paper 1 - everyone will be doing the same questions...

Not having a conclusion is like not drawing a 3rd side to form a triangle

Hi, I'm on the same boat as OP - could you please elaborate on why it sucks? I'm planning on buying one of these ... I just wanna ensure I don't regret this purchase

Go for a 20-30 minute walk in the sun for some vitamin D. Studies have shown that an individual's are able to get tasks done efficiently once they have exercised and spent time in the sun.

Lol no, Tim Riley does a great job in solidifying Economics theory by applying real life events

Yes ofc, your ranks are good :) Maintain/improve - don't drop
