    Future Plans: What ATAR/course/job are you aiming for?

    I want to do Psychology at USYD, UNSW or (hon) at Maq. All of them are high 90's except for Maqy which is high 80's I htink. But I also want to do a combined Commerce/Science majoring in marketing and psych at UNSW and that is like 90.80 or something random. I don't particular like maths...

    Belonging - 2 supp texts okay!

    I think he's trying to show the BOS hypocrisy. That they say students should think on their feet in an exam, such as SOR and not really on regurgitated essays. Yet for English they apparently allow exceptions and disregard the question wording. Fuck it, I'm going to watch some porn.

    Belonging - 2 supp texts okay!

    That's ridiculous, a third of the test IS comprehension. I'd say your teacher is trolling you. Edit: And here we....go!

    General Thoughts: English Extension 1

    I feel you. Fucking creative stimulus was a joke. I wrote about like in the future where the gov. stops people from committing suicide as well as crimes, controls weather (LOL WHY CAN'T IT JUST RAIN) and other shit. My character stops the super computers Doctor Who style, amazingly finding ways...

    Number of Related Texts for Essay?

    It'll be 2 and 2. I just hope I have enough to write about on my second one. I'm doing Charlie the Unicorn 3 due to it's contemporary allusions to 2001 and general conventions of Science Fiction.

    Special Provisions

    We have quite a lot, like 10-12. Ranges from chronic fatigue due to disrupted melatonin levels to handwriting problems.

    I hope the Creative question isn't...

    I had that for my school's trials, word for word, except it was for Science Fiction. I did 3 short stories, like each 2-3 pages long. Some people did poems. They failed. The average mark was ~11/25. I got 14 LOL. Lowest mark in Ext 1 I ever got. I did a different convention for each...

    So who's ready for tomorrow's exam?

    I'm major cbfing for it at the moment. Really surprising. I shouldn't be too as I'm like 34/71 rank. I'm doing notes for my related texts now, cramming ftw.

    Marks lost for illegibility?

    My d's are terrible lol. They look like o's and l's. And me e's look like c's. Especially at the end of exams like ancient.

    How Bad is the HSC stress for you?

    It hasn't been too bad. Usually a constant underling 2-3, then the morning of the exam goes up to like 6 but when I sit down and start I'm fine. For chem it's like 6-7, but when I get into the exam room it's going to be like -3 because I will literally draw animals for marks.

    How "provocative" were your conflicting perspectives ideas

    They were pretty sexy. Like I went into Caesar and his wife's private relationships as well as the farmer Jones in Animal Farm and his relations with the dog. Thankyou for Smoking was the easiest, you know just talked about the main character, Nick and his relationship with the journalist. I did...

    What to do if you fail the HSC?

    Same, Commerce/Science(Psych) at UNSW - 92 ATAR. Yew. Except I put it as my 4th preference under a few pure psych ones like 97 at Syd, 96 at UNSW and some others I forgot...but not sure if I want to do those instead...

    Section I - Core (Pompeii and Herculaneum)

    I did 6 (including the two in the source) with reference to other sources, i.e EVIDENCE found of those industries. E.g. (extremely simplified) wine presses for wine, bakeries with stone ovens for bakeries, brothels for sex lol, etc. I also mentioned both had a fishing industry and Pompeii was...

    Whose excited for the exam?

    True, I never liked maths. But I do enjoy learning about the concepts in chemistry. Like I love the extended responses on ethanol, batteries, haber process, etc. But I hate all the calculation questions haha.

    UAC Pin

    I'm in a similar situation. I've lost my letter containing the PIN for students online. Do I call them up or write to them or..?

    Had to do it - Band 6 anyone?

    Well I made sure I remembered correctly at least one quote: Some say that he did, in fact, commit incest with Agrippina every time they rode in the same litter - the stains on his clothes when he emerged proved it.- Suetonius, Twelve Lifes of Caesar, Nero. Makes me LOL everytime.

    Had to do it - Band 6 anyone?

    Shit. LOL. I did do that, but it was what they would have said. Like it was what they talked about. But they probably wouldn't have said it exactly like THAT. So yeah I'm hoping they're lenient in that as long as the historians were known for that topic/argument its ok. I did it twice in my...

    Whose excited for the exam?

    Lol as a person who does 3U of English, 3U of History and Drama, Chem is easily my worst subject. I believe my average exam mark is in the low 50's. The only reason I'm ranked half way through the class and not like 5th bottom (cohort is out of 33) is that I got 82% in my research assignment...

    Had to do it - Band 6 anyone?

    Yeah I reckon 85-92% raw mark. I did like..make up a few quotes lol, they reflected the historians argument but it wasn't word for word.

    Section III - Personalities

    Agrippina was pretty good. Bit waffly on the 10 marker but 15 marker was my trial. I used like 10 historians all up. Filled booklet. Lol I always remember Ferrero cos of the chocolate.
