Out of curiosity, how long should an english essay be for the modules under exam conditions?

I usually write around 50 words per essay, because apparently it takes 40 minutes to write 1000 words, meaning it would take me 2 minutes to write my essay. The trick however, is to link each 200 'actual words' together, into one big word, but since it takes 40 minutes for 1000 words, each word (even though is a big word now)will still take you 2.4 seconds to write....meaning you finish your essay in 5 minutes.

And that my friends is how you cheat the HSC.

I'm back (Trials are over yeww)

It seems like a lot of 2015ers seem to be cracking under the pressure of trials :/

 

[Chris_S]

Welcome back! And btw how were your trials?

 

[teridax]

just wondering

if you failed your trials (under 50%), no matter how much effort you invested into X subject, is it worth seeking a private tutor?

Does anyone know good quotes to use for the ideal of love in The Great Gatsby?

 

[Ekman]

Well it depends on whether you have gaping holes in your knowledge. If you are all solid with your knowledge but just couldn't the answer the question then there is no need, but if you are having trouble with understanding the concepts, then defs go for it, because at this point in time, any help is good help.

"to be or not to be"

i actually have a decent grasp of the concepts; it's moreso being able to apply them to past papers

especially the one's involving a lot of calculations which i suck at

 

[Ekman]

depends what specific aspect of love you're referring to in Gatsby



ez b6

Hawkie help me out here bud. I don't know what stats I need for topic 1. Plz hep meh

Eco trials on frieday and im screwed for topic 1. My teacher probably is going to see this, and make all 4 essay questions on topic 1

 

[Crisium]

Welcome back! And btw how were your trials?

Trials were good

Hoping for 100 in one subject and 90 + in some others (But it's not going to happen huehue)

How were your trials?

"Her voice was full of money"


“a single green light, minute and far away” > “stretched out his arms toward”

Mhhm

With such little time to go it would be difficult establishing a teacher-student relationship with the tutor, you would have to change your study routine (if any) as you would have to travel to them, etc.

tbh I think that if you try your best from now until the HSC you will do fine

Take RivalryOfTroll and mreditor16 as examples: The difference in their internals and externals for eco was ~ 5 . mreditor16's internal was 94 and his external was 99 which gave him an overall of 97 and a state rank

Despite him accelerating the subject and going on to get 99.95 I think it's possible for anyone to achieve something like this as long as they study effectively and efficiently

Good luck teridax you'll be fine!

 

[Ekman]

which aspects of topic 1 are you uncomfortable with? and i highly doubt all 4 essay questions would be centred on topic 1 only, because if that was so, your teacher is for a lack of a better word, an idiot. the essay questions will probably be across the course, not just topic 1, so dw man



inb4 you do

As I said, he is also on bos, so he will most likely see this.

And in terms of topic 1, im just uncomfortable about not having stats - barring the case study because that's all about stats. Past exemplar essays hardly have any as well, they only have certain policies
