    Help answering those tricky 7 markers

    I just read the Success One answers for this question and it seems pretty reasonable. It talks about firstly, Alexander Fleming and his contribution to biology by discovering antibiotics which has significantly tolerated bacterial pathogens and thus reduced the amount of people that die from...

    Rate the Difficulty

    Really depends on your modules, definitely. I gave it a 6. The essence of the questions were straightforward, and if you had a broad understanding of your texts, you would be fine. The wording of the questions however, threw me off a lot - it just didn't sound right or logical...

    question about hamlet.....

    I did that practically the same. I talked about the confrontation between living up to revenge for his Father, or his morals and the tension is highlighted through his psychological chaos. Second, I talked about the confrontation with Claudius, physically in essence. The tension he feels...

    Would love a 90+, but the way Paper 1 went, I highly doubt I will get a Band 6.

    Help with study notes for Wensday exam ? English Paper 2

    Precisely what I'm doing. For Hamlet, I have an essay, but I'm not relying on it too much and focusing on quotes and techniques and analysis. For Mod A, I have an essay, and memorised because they don't tend to diverge from one extremity to another, and the questions are fairly similar, so it...

    The logic behind having rank orders and internal marks affect your hsc..

    Exactly what I mean by the advantages, but did were you studying hard, and trying your best in acheiving both those 4th ranks? I don't know if it is for you, but people were stressed just to get good ranks, hence why I said that it doesn't decrease the stress on an individual. At the same...

    The logic behind having rank orders and internal marks affect your hsc..

    I agree. The constant need to either be first, or just your aim of a rank is stressful. UPON THAT, maintaining that rank is difficult, espicially during ranks. The competitiveness with yourself, your peers and trying to be better is stressful. And having other subjects to do the same in...

    Handwriting.

    I know there is heaps of thread on this, but in your opinion which option should I choose? Either a) Have neat writing, less words and less analysis within an essay or b) have messy writing that isn't necessarily unlegible but takes a while to decipher, more words and therefore, more...

    General Thoughts: English Paper 1 (AOS)

    I only got 20 for creative -_- I honestly hope that the 50 mins I spent on the essay gave me at least 14-15, because then it would be a total waste. The comprehension questions were difficult to decipher, in that I got the storyplot, just couldn't justify belonging through literary...

    What are hoping to get for english raw?

    I've seen your replies on the English forums lately, and you seem to be extremely and sufficiently prepared. I don't doubt that you could get 90+!

    Belonging Question Predictions.

    If the belonging question is predicted to be communities, what is the difference between 'community' and 'society'? I ask this because my prescribed text doesn't make direct reference to a specific community, but rather the relationship to society as a whole ... What do I do?

    Belonging Question Predictions.

    I love us 2012 HSC'ers. Not going to lie, but you guys are extremely perceptive and aware of everything, as in figuring out which syllabus dot points haven't been questioned. Might sound sappy, but I'm proud of you all and your effort! Just a question, anyone doing Dickinson's poems...

    13 Units. Crazy or...?

    If your basis on doing 13 units is solely based on wanting to acheive a 99+ ATAR and think that by having more units you have a greater chance of getting it, I wouldn't recommend it. However, myself doing 13 units, I did not find it difficult it all. Obviously, those people with less units...

    Subject Scaling

    I am actually astounded at your results! Wow! You were hoping for 85+ and you got such an incredible ATAR! Like honestly, congratulations (belated)

    Why should you try in HSC ...

    Okay, so I sound like a total idiot, but you keep your external mark right? It has no correlation to your assessment rank does it? I'm sorry again :(
