I don't do economics anymore, I dropped it :). However, the highest for economics in my school was like 93. Alot of kids got in the 80s, there was an 89, 87 etc. A few 70s as well and a couple 60s. The lowest was 61. Considering economics scales very well, I think my grade did exceptionally...

Yes you have a long tail for Biology. However, if your in the top 10 and you have 45 people doing the course, your towards the top. Scaling normally effects the middle, the rubber band is stretched, but is the 35% an outlier or did the bottom consistently get 35-45%? Remember the scaling can...

Dude you have no idea. The stimulus was so stupid! A twitter profile!? Lol seriously!? argh. Stupid CSSA writers. I do textual dynamics, and yeah it was really hard. I swear, I had some divine intervention that day. I re-read it and it was surprisingly better than I thought. I basically scrapped...

He's 76 years old (in 2 more days). If he wins, he'll be the oldest United States president in history! Older than Reagan when he was elected! I hope he owns Obama. Obama has done absolutely nothing in the last 2 years, for the economy. Though, the Republicans aren't free from the blame after...

Got Legal back. 86/100. I'm ranked second :P Eh, better than last year's class, there highest was 78/100 and the highest hsc mark was 96, so i'm not too disappointed. English Extension 1...OMFG. I'm still in shock how well I went! I knew I aced the essay but I thought I fucked the creative...

English Advanced - Fix Yeats essay and creative. English Extension 1 - More sophistication Ancient History -Know all syllabus dotpoints by HSC Legal Studies - Explain and note implications of cases/legislations/media reports etc. Mathematics - DONT MAKE STUPID MISTAKES! Lost 7-10 marks in...

Dude I would drop Physics and Chemistry. Your strength obviously lies in the written and spoken word. Don't drop Society and Culture if your ranked 1. If you drop physics and chem, you'll have a lot more time for studying maths. You might consider picking up English Ext 2, as well as History...

I got 22/25 for Hatshepsut. Part a was a difficult question! The highest in our grade was 95, and it was marked by an external HSC marker so that's really good for a exam as hard as that. Hopefully the HSC is similar to the CSSA in English and Legal, but for Ancient I think it'll be easier :P

Anyone got marks back? How did everyone go?

Hey I got: - 98/105 for English Advanced (1/46) - 105/120 for 2u Maths (10/66) - 91/100 for Ancient (2/27) That's all I've got so far. Should be getting legal, eng ext and math ext in the next few days. Since Hist ext was on Monday, we'll probably get that back a bit later. School rank: 63

1. BA/LLB (USyd) ~ 99.7 2. BA/LLB (UNSW) ~ 99.65 3. LLB (UTS) ~ 97.2 4. BA (International Studies)/LLB (UTS) ~ 97.2 5. Bachelor of Business/LLB (UTS) ~ 97.2 6. BA (Adv) (Hons) (USyd) ~ 98.85 7. BA/LLB (Macq) ~ 95.95

Easy multiple choice. The short answer questions were straight out of the 'learn to' statements in the syllabus, easy. The crime 15 marker was good, I incorporated the stimulus pretty good, and I addressed the question. The consumer and family questions were very generic. No question...

Yeah, it was really good! I absolutely owned the essay! Yet, the creative was a bit weird, you had this twitter profile with the different characteristics of the person and had to write a imaginative/creative piece with that person in it. I do Textual Dynamics, so I'm not too sure about the...

Re: Cssa ancient I think it was weird. The Pompeii and Herculaneum source asking you what the extract meant was hard. Sparta was really easy, but Hatshepsut, especially part a was a bit of a turn off, because my teacher was like they'll never ask you about political and religious roles! I...

Yeah the essay questions were very generic! The CSSA paper, overall was extremely easy. The HSC would be probably much harder :P

I think it was 'The Mushroomer'

I'm just an English nerd. I have super big handwriting. I think I got about 3600ish words, that's how big I write lol. And yeah, I agree with the other comments, writing a lot of pages doesn't mean your going to get good marks, at the end of the day it's quality, not quantity. However, if you...

ARGH IM SO DEPRESSED NOW :O I did Module C first, I managed to write 24 pages (yeah, i know...right?) but I write REALLY big (like 3 words a line). So I absolutely owned Module C, then I start Module A, which I wrote 24 pages as well, I owned it too. The essay questions were really generic...

Don't memorise your essays. It won't do you any favours at this stage. Learn concepts, key ideas and quotes. techniques should come to you on the spot.

Lol I talked about the visual imagery of the surroundings in the first couple of lines, there was also a simile which likened him to nature or something, also repetition in the first paragraph. I basically combined all of those elements to answer the question. I can't exactly remember the...
