*commas :p And yes, having consistency of language is important stylistically unless your concept has something to do with changing suddenly and dramatically.

You can always improve! Identifying techniques in poems is a matter of having knowledge of the techniques and being able to apply them. Practice makes perfect and all that.

If you have a passion for Ext English, then go for it! You'll feel more inclined to put the required amount of work and effort into it if it's a subject area you really enjoy. The calculator is saying that a 92 in business is better because that's a band 6 mark, whereas you need above 45/50 to...

This is also a particularly busy time of the year and often the HR people go on holidays around Christmas, so you may find they're running on skeleton staff and haven't yet had an opportunity to view your application. Additionally, this is a time of the year where they receive a HUGE number of...

Perhaps I should clarify that there's a difference between Yr 11 and Yr 12 in terms of what's expected from students. There is also a difference between the expectations of Standard and Advanced students and I seem to recall you did Standard. It's great you did so well, but that's an unusual...

Actually doing past papers forces you to learn the material and apply it. Then you have the bonus of being able to go over your work and see where you went right, and where you went wrong, which should give you an indicator of your strengths and weakness/generally where you need to improve...

If you're confused, it's really best that you contact your teacher or other students in your class. Any advice given here, though well intended, may not reflect the particular assessment you've been given. Hope you find your answers soon!

What about time spend researching? You can't expect to write or refine if you aren't constantly researching to discover more interesting ways of expressing yourself, or ways to further develop your concept.

Not going to open days won't be 'bad', as such. A large number of people get tricked into think it's representative of what uni life is like, but in actual fact, open days are days when there's virtually no actual students at uni, and everything is targeting high schoolers. It's a good idea to...

Interesting approach, hope it goes well!
