    So who didn't title their story

    It didn't say burning, it was a small blue paper you had to sign. On it were a few points to the tune of: The HSC paper and your answers to it are property of the Board of studies. -The board of studies reserves the right to refuse any request made to see the original copy of the paper...

    So who didn't title their story

    Well consider if your imaginative piece was a short story. A story has to have a title, all professional ones do, just as all professional feature articles do. I don't see why you'd conclude one needs one, and another doesn't.

    So who didn't title their story

    Well, were not getting these papers back, i suppose we'll never know. Who felt a little offended when they had to sign that sheet of paper giving permission for Board of studies to destroy their paper?

    So who didn't title their story

    I didn't write a title all year, and my English teacher made it a point to specifically circle the vacant space at the top of my page and request a title. I went into the exam trying to remember most, not my quotes... but to put on that damned title.

    So who didn't title their story

    I hear a title's worth is a single mark.

    So who didn't title their story

    Heh. There's always like a thousand people every year. Also, how many related/prescribed texts did your essay contain? What Technique did you say the hands holding the house encapsulated. Page counts. 8/9/6 here.

    Big paragraphs vs small

    My only fear is... if you've got a paragraph for each quote/technique/effect segment, what differentiates one text from the next? But i can see that long paragraphs would be a pain to read, but sometimes i think that being a pain to read is sometimes what the essays are marked on, long and...

    Big paragraphs vs small

    In writing an essay do you write about a single text in one fat paragraph... Or do you have a small "chunk" for each Quote,technique,effect.

    "keep thinking about my ATAR"

    The best solution is to stop watching the Bruce Lee documentary. 80+ should be possible, but don't count on your ranks to get you there. Right now you're result is going to be the product of your own will.

    Inaccurate physics questions in exam

    Hmm let me attempt to explain my premise. We know the speed of light is constant.. and the spacecraft is moving AWAY from earth. Lets say... to someone on the spaceship, the pulses were sent an hour apart. So.. one at 5:00am and one at 6:00. You can see clearly that IN that ONE hour between...

    Best pen for writing fast

    I'v created a device that looks like a pen but can be disassembled in the exam, and reassembled into a primitive qwerty type-writer. Should be good with my 115 words per minute typing.

    "Pens down"

    I will stop, and carefully dismantle my pen, arragning its various components symmetrically across my desk. Then i shall stand up and perform a rain dance around my desk. Either that or.. "THIS IS SPARTAAAAAA *Kicks desk over*"

    Can markers screw up your mark

    I can't imagine this being true. A marker marks 100s of pieces of work, the ability to care about what happens to each and every one of those people's future is not humanly possible (see that monkey's sphere article).

    ATARUS Estimatus!

    Ranks Physics 16/16 (yes im comming last, due to some horrifically bad practicals and hand ins that offset my performance... I get a good raw 85ish in every past paper i'v done, and im confident my external marks will be band 6 worthy... Though my school's ranked in the 150 range.. so, im...

    had to do this... mines a desperate case!

    Your ranks AREN'T as bad as your marks make them out to be. That said their still pretty low. Though 80 is achievable. What you've gotta ask yourself first is, what's the MAXIMUM mark you reckon is possible for you to get if you study your ass of in the externals. then ask yourself, what's...
