    CSSA English Paper 2 Thoughts

    Mod A (Donne & Wit): good, just had to change some of the phrasing in my memorised essay: Mod B (Hamlet): awesome, perfectly worked with my thesis Mod C (Brave New World): probably the hardest of all the questions, but not too bad Overall, very happy :D

    All I'm hoping is that the Hamlet question isn't ridiculous, and that we don't have to use two related texts for Mod C Also, how are y'all accessing past CSSA papers? Aren't they like super strict about their distribution?

    How to write faster?

    Get a better pen if you're not using a good one. The impact of bad-quality pens (e.g. kilometrico) upon speed of handwriting is different for different people, but for me it has made a big impact

    CSSA English aos paper 1

    Same, plus I couldn't see how I could really draw that much meaning out of it Lol for section 1, I accidentally only spent 30 mins on it @ the beginning of the exam, and then went back later and had to do asterisks and write extra stuff. It's a relief to know that I'll only have to do 1 short...

    Literally what I was thinking while reading it A castle though, I'm pretty sure. I don't think I actually said this though, I'm pretty sure I just referred to "climbimg"

    Alright I'm signing off for tonight to try and get some decent sleep good luck everyone for tomorrow, remember this exam only counts for about 1% of your whole HSC so even if you do crap it doesn't really matter that much & pls pray that I can find a decent pen tomorrow morning to get me thru...

    Include both aspects in your response; all of the discovery aspects are interlinked, hence you can link them together. e.g. if the paper is generally based around the challenging/affirmations of assumptions about the human experience, you could say something like: Text X creatively explores the...

    gl to everyone starting trials tomorrow. These exams aren't the end of the world; remember that at the end of the day they only make up around 15-20% of your final HSC marks. Also remember that everyone else in the state is tired and low on motivation right now too; what makes the difference is...

    Standard Potential Question

    The potassium ion has already been oxidised to its (effectively) maximum oxidation state by the acid, hence we can be confident that it won't oxidise again

    Water Chem Question

    +1 e.g., an increase in temperature leads to a decreased solubility of CO2(g), because the reaction is exothermic and the CO2 molecules have less ability to become 'trapped' within water molecules, because everything is vibrating more energetically

    HSC 2015 MX2 Integration Marathon (archive)

    Re: MX2 2015 Integration Marathon Yeah I got that too and couldn't find a way to evaluate. Then I looked on wolfram alpha as Ekman did and noted that it used the logarithmic integral
