    Starting off with business - Ready?

    Think about it would you rather learn your content or do your past papers? the more content you know, the better chance u have at the exam - so if you're running out of time and you haven't done past papers, dw, just be happy that you learn't all the content and BREATHE!

    If it makes any of you feel better I did only 2 chemistry past papers for my HSC and I ended up with an exam mark of 98. so definitely content over past papers any day.

    what do you all think about a poem for your creative writing piece?

    not the best choice you can do a short story, memoir, diary entry, feature article - but poem would be the thing you would do if you have no choice and you are desperate to get something done (i.e. in my opinion)

    anyone else feel like they just wanna eat?

    that's what the HSC does to you. I don't know how much of weight I gained but I went up two dress sizes, but I remember for Christmas I was able to get back into my dress - (but I watched very carefully what I ate) haha... so u'll get back to normal after the HSC :) All the best

    anyone else feel like they just wanna eat?

    I feel your pain! but for me, I bought my formal dress during the summer holidays, when I was a size 6 and then I couldn't even get into it after the HSC. I had to get a new dress! awkward

    Faking critic quotes

    if it is for module B, they are not keen on the whole critic quote thing. you don't get extra quotes for doing so, nor do you get penalised. so if you haven't learnt one, don't bother too much!

    Is FergHSC any good??!?

    I haven't tried it personally, but I read a review sometime back that said they were good. You are not going to get a response here, you will have to post it in the 2011 general discussion forum, so that someone who has used their services can let you know. Better yet, I would consider writing...

    HSC English --> Ask your questions

    as much as I'd like to say I didn't memorise my essays, truth be told I memorised mod A, mod C and belonging + creative. (basically everything except module B) as for me, the questions worked well, so I only had to add in some stuff to my introduction and conclusion and I made sure I made a...

    I'll post up a few of them ! Mod A: "The elective texts in time, makes responders consider ideas in a new light" how did you prescribed texts make you see the concept of progress in a new light?
