After the Bomb was beautiful for me. I did 15 pages for critical, and 9 for creative. Luckily, my creative fit the question exactly, and I already had letters in the one that I prepared so it was total luck :) so happy!

Anywhere that has awards are a good place to started. Luckily, I landed myself a job as a pharmacy assistant in Canberra (although I'm from Wollongong) for next year if I hopefully get into Combined Law at ANU. It's starting salary is higher than minimum wage because of the award scheme. So...

Didn't do well at all in the multiple choice (2/6 right), but all of the written responses for the exam were pretty good! Hopefully it's enough for band 6! What does everyone think the cut off will be this year?

English is over But not for Extension kids! What a tragedy...

Hey Guys, I've just been going through a past paper, and I got the question 'Describe the early career of Alexander'. Obviously this isn't a hard one, but does anyone know where his early career really stops? As in, would it be considered to stop at his creation of the first Alexandropolis, or...

So happy my school didn't choose speeches! But not to worry people who did the specific speeches elective, the BOS aligns the marks question by question, so if the whole state did much worse in a question, the marks will be aligned to match the rest of the electives :)

No, not at all. The only ruling is that a minimum of two English units are counted, but all three can be counted if they are in your best ten when it's all scaled and aligned etc.

Community would be fantastic for my thesis, and identity would be perfect for my creative writing, and I think it'll be one of those two...

What's generally the Band 6 raw mark cut-off?

I should definitely do my belonging creative about Papa, and how he feels isolated from being forgotten in time hahaha

You've got very solid rankings going into the HSC which is fantastic! If you're performing at an equivalent level to your ranks, then I'd say 90s for sure. I'm guessing that 1 unit of your Ancient won't count. Good luck for the exams, and study hard!

Great rankings! I'd definitely say high 90s, but the main thing it probably comes down to now is how well your cohort performs, considering you must be one of the top students at your school. Best of luck!

Thanks for the feedback :) In the predicted ATAR that my school gave me, Music Extension didn't count, but I'm really hoping that it ends up counting because of how much work I've put into it! I've actually been predicted much higher through my school which is quite interesting...

Hey all, If someone could do a predicted ATAR for me that would be great. Final ranks: English Advanced: 9/88 English Extension 1: 5/12 English Extension 2: 4/10 Ancient History: 1/13 Legal Studies: 2/10 Music 2: 3/9 Music Extension: 4/7 I believe that my school is ranked around the 100 mark...

^^ I totally agree with Kieran95. The creative piece doesn't need to be long at all to score top marks. If you're spending longer than 45 mins on the creative then you're probably writing too much. As everyone's writing speed is different, maybe think about time allocation rather than amount, as...
