Average HSC mark: 93.5 ATAR: 98.80

I ranked 1st in 6 of my units and therefore got the same exam/assessment mark. The 4 units I ranked 2nd in I got dragged down by the assessment marks. In Biology, I got an exam mark of 94 and an assessment mark of 91, while in Economics I got an exam mark of 91 and an assessment mark of 90.

What I found that helped me a lot with HSC English was researching in-depth existentialism, postmodernism and feminism (and many other movements). These issues were essential to the majority of my essays on prescribed texts, and helped me to choose my own texts. Even when studying Hamlet...

My ex-art teacher said many psychology students go into marketing. I don't know how accurate that information is though.

Are you studying romanticism, or romantic fiction (I did crime fiction for my HSC, so I'm unfamiliar with this elective)? Because there's a difference. If you're doing romanticism (the 18th century literature movement) try researching dark romanticism (Emily Dickinson, Edgar Allan Poe, etc)...

I didn't work during high school, and I started my first job a week after the HSC finished. Personally, I don't think I would of been able to achieve the HSC marks I did if I worked during year 12 and I'm glad didn't start work until after the HSC was over. But everyone is different and I can...

Also, you have to consider how the Bible will be "taught" or "read". Will students be encouraged to develop their own perspective or understanding of the text (which could be a negative/positive interpretation of its contents), or will the Bible be taught as "fact" and "truth" with no room for...

I don't oppose teaching the Bible in schools, per se. However, if the Bible becomes part of the compulsory curriculum then there should be an entire subject where you learn about all the other major/minor holy texts also, such as the Quran and the Vedas, etc. It is biased to only teach the...

If a person fully understood what the Bible says, they would no longer be Christian. Once someone has thoroughly studied the Bible and seen the multitudes of inconsistencies, contradictions, bigotry and mythology that it contains - it would be difficult to continue to blindly accept it as "truth".

Are you for real? Because none of what you just said has any relevance to actual reality.

I'm attracted to girls, and since some of the girls I'm attracted to are bound to be lesbians, does this mean I am "corrupting" weaker, insecure girls into heterosexuality?

Homosexuality is natural, just like red hair is natural. Yet children with red hair still get bullied.

Absence of procreation in homosexual relationships is not a valid argument against homosexual relationships. Just because homosexual relations cannot bear any offspring does not suddenly mean that if we allow homosexual relationships to be accepted and legally recognised that somehow no more...

GO is the best channel ever.

In all reality, one of the main reasons law is 99+ for UNSW and USyd is because of the high demand for the course, and the limited number of places. Therefore there is usually a high ATAR/UAI cut-off. It has nothing to do with the actual difficulty of the course itself. If you look at law at...

I'll see what I can find on my computer. :)

No problem. And good luck. :)

Still, even with a word limit and without textual support/quotes you should at least mentioned a few techniques beyond the basics such as personification. Literary/poetic techniques are vital to interpreting poems, as without them the poem isn't effective. You have to look at the rhyme scheme...

You've gone off the point a bit. It would be better if you supported your analysis with quotations and poetic techniques that helped to communicate the issues that you identified, rather than just linking back to the themes of the poem in brackets. I also think you should focus on the...
