Is there anyone on the forums right now who does essay marking? My teacher literally gives me two criticisms on incorrect word usage and says its a low A, tutor's neglecting me for some reason, friends too busy with trials.. Who else is there :/

im also curious about this
if ur a super nice uni student/ teacher who has spare time on their hands, pm me
If anything it'll motivate me to actually write an essay LOL

Aw yeah. Came 3rd in my last English assessment (and she put a gold star on it hehe). Finally a mark I'm actually happy with for English.

Yay congratulations

Read your essay out loud, if your essay doesn't flow smoothly or doesn't sound right, change/edit the wording.

Seconded. Reading them out loud is usually the best method.

Fairly easy. My teacher said we shouldn't share the questions because they are official BOSTES trials or something but anyway.

Business report:; assigned as an agent for a cafe in a suburban beach location (very vague) only gave us 'little scope to lower prices', 'increasing competition' and 'cafes traditionally high failure rates'; we had to discuss the obligations of employer to employee, pros and cons of casual employment and promotional strategies specifically to improve market share

Essay question: choice between Total Quality Management and Limitations to financial report

sorry realised this isn't business thread

Would averaging in the high 60s / low 70s in advanced English completely screw up my ATAR? :c

Our school marks hard, that's around the high band 6 range so you're doing good.

Idk :c my rank is pretty bad too. Last year I did so well which is why I didn't drop to standard :S I just got my last assessment back and I got 14/20 - low B range (I've been sitting in the C range all year so it is a slight improvement). I feel my average is going to plummet even lower after the trials :'(

Really dependent on your internal rank, how well your cohort performs in externals (the HSC exam) and of course, a strong performance from you. Averaging 60s/low 70s could mean different things between different schools.

I think it's better to assess your situation after trials.

Do you know the reason why you could be stuck in the C range?

Is there certain feedback that you receive regularly but have never acted upon?

i just don't think I'm good at relating my arguments back to matching the rubric and whatever the core ideas of the module are. my sophistication needs work as well. Tbh idek what half of the modules are about... Oops..

Quick Q. Are you allowed to use your calculator in reading time (under BOS guidelines)?
