    should i do extension 2 english??

    This. If you do it, ultimately, you really have to make your major work something you enjoy and are passionate about. Don't misconstrue this as "you will enjoy working on your major work 100% of the time", because I'm not going to lie, you WILL hate it at times. You WILL get incredibly stressed...

    school cheating in internal hsc assessments !

    Re: School Cheating - Teachers doing essays for students I would definitely report them. I don't think the board would do something like scale down the entire grade from your school if you've made it clear that it's only some of the teachers who are doing this. But yeah, I'd see the principal...

    Viva Voce

    Mine was basically the same, only not on the lounge. Went in shit nervous for what could be thrown at me and came out completely at ease after having a pretty relaxed 45 minute conversation about my major work with the teacher... We did have to answer a few written questions before we went in...

    the preliminary 'I didn't go well in my half yearlies' thread

    Those "whinging 09rs" are sitting their HSC exams in 5 months. You, on the other hand, are still studying content which (mostly) will count for nothing. There's no reason for anyone to stress out about bad marks in year 11. It's basically a learning experience to prepare you for the workload of...

    word count question

    No, it hasn't changed... (Page 131 of the English Syllabus) (Page 132) http://boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/syllabus_hsc/pdf_doc/english_syl.pdf I'm assuming your teacher may have misunderstood something... Perhaps you should show her/him these sections of the syllabus and ask if they could...

    English EXT2 Help

    If your school has the Young Writers Showcase books then I suggest having a look at those. The course doesn't change on a school-to-school basis, but rather, on an individual basis depending on what you choose to do for your major work. The only thing that's really different in each school may...

    Oh My ****ing GOD. I = Worlds Biggest Idiot

    Ultimately, other schools' assessment policies don't affect you at all. They pretty much only determine the internal marks/rankings so... stop letting it annoy you.

    Oh My ****ing GOD. I = Worlds Biggest Idiot

    At my local GP they pretty much hand the doctor's certificates out like candy. You just walk in and say you've had a cold, taken a couple of days off and need a certificate for school... Don't really need to say anything more than that. EDIT: just make sure they don't try and quarantine you for...

    Oh My ****ing GOD. I = Worlds Biggest Idiot

    If I were in your position, I think I would definitely try and get a doctor's certificate... You could try and be all honest, but this is the HSC and chances are you probably can't really afford to get a 0 mark on this assessment...

    Sources & Quotes

    Thanks guys, I'll be sure to look at those. I might have to think about going to some different libraries, then, too... My worry is that I'll probably have to travel a while to find anything decent, it takes me 2-3 hours on the train just to get to the city so the prospect of travelling for...

    Sources & Quotes

    I was just wondering where everyone else gets their sources and quotes from... I've found myself in a bit of a dilemma. Our school gave us no text books for year 12 ('can't afford them', apparently...) and we have no resources in our poor excuse for a 'library' which has no more than a shelf of...

    Ext. II English people- Finished your first draft yet?

    Sounds similar to me... I have until Wednesday to have a "substantial" amount written. I know it's necessary for the teachers to monitor our progress and she's only trying to keep me on track but gah... Honestly, by them constantly looking over my shoulder it's only making it harder for me to...
