    Bail Laws in NSW

    Yes, that's correct. The 'Bail Amendment (Enforcement Conditions) Act 2012 (NSW)' introduced in December 2012, changed the previously complex laws to remove offence based presumptions in favour of a risk management approach, discerning the accused's risk to the community. However, prohibitions...

    How many issues should I write about in my consumer and family essays?

    You're too descriptive and I think your actual argument lacks weight. I wouldn't centre a whole paragraph on misinterpretation arising from 'shared parental responsibility', merely introducing its intrinsic flaws in maintaining the protection of children, foregrounding the 'Family Law...

    General Thoughts: English Advanced Paper 2

    Mod A (P&P and LTA) - 19/20 Mod B (Helmet) - 17/20 Mod C (Wag the Dog) - 19/20 Why were the A & C questions so simple? B wasn't as bad as everyone's saying it was; I discussed dramatic structure and their progression of the play's themes, the antithetical and verisimilar elements embedded in...

    Section 3 - Extended Response

    Anything is allowed as long as it demonstrates engagement and a perceptive understanding of the question. E.g.

    Plagiarism.

    "28 were found to have supplied a reproduced response, such as memorising an essay from a website and using that in response to an exam question. The board does not scan exam answers to check for plagiarism as it is usually picked up by markers. But it has other high-tech methods to deter...

    Plagiarism.

    The chances are extremely low. There's an smh article from last year noting that only 28 people got caught for reproducing essays they'd "copied from" online. This is no way specifies whether they were bought or were found from a simple Google search, but you're only really likely to cause...

    Official: 2013 Modern History HSC Exam predictions thread

    I've never studied the fourth dot point for Germany or Indochina and considering one of last year's Germany questions was about foreign policy, I should be fine. Germany - Totalitarianism or consolidation; Really hope it's Weimar failings or 'Volksgemeinschaft' though Indochina - Probably...

    What has everyone done?

    Began the past papers a good week ago; making sure i understand the topics really well and the malleability of each point to draw links with a range of questions. If anyone has any trial papers they'd like to share that would be lovely, the recent syllabus change hasn't left me many options.

    Regrets (Tips for a year 11 soon to be in year 12)

    Devise a plan of action for each subject, with consideration for all your content and tasks that you need to cover. This was a regret for my 1 unit subjects, I neglected them a bit throughout the year when I should have been investing add much effort in them as my 2 unit subjects. Also, don't...

    Nope. School rank's in the top 50, with student's rarely scraping 90% in the trials and dux averaging 99.8ish every year. Not easy marking, just hard work

    Trial Results and Reactions

    I've topped most of my trials, yet my ranks haven't inclined too much due to low weighting/others doing better in previous assessments. English - 91% - 3/130 Modern - 94% - 1/68 Legal - 94% - 1/41 Japanese - 93% - 2/9 Japanese Extension - 82% - 2/5 Drama - 93% - 1/26 Pretty pleased, a lot to...
