If it's really obscure they put a footnote. For example, once in an english ext.1 exam the question involved 'ignobility' and the footnote explained it as the opposite of nobility. Also in some paper 1s there have been footnotes e.g. I can't remember where, maybe it was last year's belonging...

It hinges on what your texts are for Advances and Extension 1: can you clarify these? Research into the short-story genre is imperative. If nothing else, do this at least. Some popular authors of short stories: Jhumpa Lahiri - Interpreter of maladies (collection of short stories, it won a...

most of these responses aren't particularly helpful. You need to show visual examples to demonstrate what you mean by borderline 'legible'

They might ask for two RTs (and this isn't ludicrous), which is why you can only really do 2 chapters. I know people study a few of them for a 'choice' but I have long picked two and focused on them solely. It works fine. Module C questions are the most generic since they use the same one for a...

yeah just practise writing essays, after about the 3rd one the quotes and analysis come to you as you write so you can think more about the question and less about what you're supposed to have memorised. Get paper and pens and just write them down - you're going to write them in an exam so...

Though they mark the essays in school groups. That means come time the markers get to that school, when they notice everyone's RT is the same, they'll scrutinise more. This is also the case for well-known and commonly used RTs like Alphabet Soup, Kite Runner, To kill a Mockingbird etc. Sure you...

I like this point. I did notice in our markers' feedback (I don't know if other schools get marker feedback sheets for each module after the trial but we do) that they made some sarcastic comments about certain lines that everyone used, and 'to be or not to be' was one of them. Nonetheless, I...

Lots of texts aren't online, that's why you have to borrow/buy the book to read them

The time needed to first find the text, then search through the text (imagine a novel) to check if there are any instances of the quote, is so absolutely absurd I can't imagine a teacher ever doing it. Especially considering they want to get through a pile of essays since they're probably being...

The advantage of it, in my opinion, is that if you make up your text, it's extremely easy to 'adapt' it to any question. Teachers do always say some RTs work better than others. If you make it up it can answer the question perfectly. Though I think it's difficult to come up with examples on the...

Last time I spent too long looking at the creative question because it was very specific. In retrospect I should've read the unseen texts and answered the questions for them in my head first. That would've saved loads of time, because I ended up having to read them after I'd written the essay...

if you're 'referring' to it in the typical places, what are you doing in the guts of the essay? Are you not referring to it there at all?

In the trials it varies from teacher to teacher; of all the sections I'm sure it's undeniable that the creative is the most subjective of all. You can cite a million examples of your assessments and trials and even returned HSC papers with the marks on them, but it always hinges on the marker. I...

only 2, but maybe some reference to the afterword also.

When I do them you always use the language of the question so I don't know if there is really a specific thesis you can apply to all questions, it depends on what the focus is and if it's broad enough. I think you should instead remember specific but simple ideas, and imbed them in your essay...

why is ur cohort so small

worst=music best=korean

nature science and humanity there ur done

hi I know what you mean I did the same test for the trial (IN THE LISTENING THERE WAS A QUESTION ABOUT USING FISH AS A NEW METHOD TO CLEAN YOUR SKIN AT BEAUTY CLINICS), I also found that there wasn't enough time. Do you write over the suggested lines for R+R? I do and the answers are so long I...

Does anyone have experience with this for USyd?? I can't find anything on it on the website which is a mess to navigate. Do they allow it for arts? Have you done it? I mean in terms of doing the degree at sydney but completing some units/courses at another uni like macquarie
