    Legal Studies Multiple Choice - what?

    So I answered B. Because my understanding is that natural justice relates to a lack of bias within the judiciary thus reasons given for decisions, defendant's right to a hearing and to present evidence, etc. Which is procedural fairness, yes? Apparently the answer is D. But this is my...

    hardworking Vs. intelligence

    You definitely need both in order to do it. As it is, person 1 you gave us there doesn't do a lot of subjects which are really academic, anyway, so most likely, person 2 will get a higher ATAR. [I don't actually know how our dux is determined, but it might be the ATAR]. At my school, we've...

    raw mark for band 6?

    My trial mark was pretty crappy [74%] but my essays in it were really good, and I'd thought they'd be the hardest bit. I only dropped 5 marks across the pair of them. So I can get my multiple choice up and my crime up really easily, and can hopefully improve on the essays. So I'm relying on...

    raw mark for band 6?

    +1 I'd say it would. In practically any subject, it's getting hard to beat 94 raw. Heh, I should ask my teacher, see if he knows. >.<' [Yeah, I know... I should have before...]

    No Creative Title - Minus Marks?

    My god, wtf people. It just isn't going to happen. It's not on the rubric, so they can't do shit about it. No matter who they are, or how anal they are. It's simply not there. A title's far more relevant for a poem, as it actually ties the meaning together, and who the hell usually does those...

    No Creative Title - Minus Marks?

    Wth, since when did people even bother to put a title in creative pieces anyway? For a poem, yeah it could help, but otherwise, just no. Judging you on whatever you write and how you do it, not what you call it. Wth >.<

    Prepared answers

    With the likelihood of them throwing something strange in this year, just 'cause, no, you won't be fine. Know your stuff and how to write an essay analysing and answering the question, and you'll be fine.

    General Thoughts: English Extension 1

    Re: Extension Exam - How'd it go? I kind of started "nononononononononono" when I read my creative quote. But then calmed down when I realised I could relate it to my planned creative anyway. ['Planned' being an entirely mental process -.-] 13 pages for the essay, 5 for the creative, though...

    English Extension I Exam- Will They Chuck a Shifty?

    After the Bomb's new too, but it's replacing Postmodernism. I'd say they will, simply because they've done something quirky in every exam I've had so far - English modules had some funny words in some questions which made you think, at least.

    Legal Studies HSC Exam

    Yeah Evolution of the law, influence of social/political/economic/moral factors, doctrine of precedent [ie how it can prevent change, or create it] and processes for how the law is changed. Evaluating the effectiveness of everything as you go.

    Legal Studies HSC Exam

    Yeah xD. I was only paying attention to the bit about "they've had this for the last 5 years, they won't change it", sorry. Because they are changing the normal questions. [I'm not going to do an angry face 'cause I approve]. Your advice does cover the syllabus, but yeah, that first bit...

    Legal Studies HSC Exam

    This is exactly what screwed some people up in SoR, apparently. Apart from those who went "Mohammad wtf", others found they didn't get what was being asked because they'd been studying past papers and this was different. The people saying they got it fine prove that it's possible. So that...

    How many marks have you dropped?

    FMLLLLL. Or not, actually, I don't care about ext that much. But everyone here seems to have done really well, so congrats. I'd be surprised to see myself get 40/84. I'm thinking I'll be getting <35 or so. So it's more worthwhile counting the marks I got than the ones I didn't D:

    General Thoughts: Mathematics

    I don't like the assumption that everyone's the same [or that the guy who's obviously very good with learning and applying the material in a typical way is the be all and end all of determining a math paper's difficulty]. The paper required you to think. Anyone who could do that was fine. I...

    General Thoughts: Mathematics

    xD I wasn't worried about the process, because I'd learnt it by rote and it's easy to recognise. I just wasn't sure with my logic explaining it because I realised I couldn't see it ending 0.- Simpson's I know by h/3[y + 4y + 2y + 4y + ... + y] So I used all the values they gave me. And...

    General Thoughts: Mathematics

    No, it is growing at 0.9 It grows to 1.2 in the first year. And then the second year's height is 1.2 + (1.2x0.9) Etc. Well, maybe not necessarily that. Limiting sum only works with x < 1, so it had to be 0.9, because it was clearly limiting. Thus limiting sum = 12.
