    Japanese

    yep, I'm planning on continuing Japanese in university even though I only did beginners for HSC, I'd love to learn the language in more depth. I wouldn't really recommend learning the language by itself (if by that you mean doing a degree/course where you only study Japanese) unless you intend...

    stereosonic security?

    does anyone know how strict the security is at stereosonic? particularly in regards to i.d/underage, would a fake i.d be enough to get in, or do they have really strict security?

    hsc marking

    yeah i agree, i'm worried for creative but i'm particularly worried for my essays. different teachers prefer different structures and have different opinions (i.e some teachers think not having a conclusion doesn't matter that much, other teachers are really strict about it) so i feel like that...

    hsc marking

    just wondering if anyone knows how many times our exams get marked? do modules get double marked? and what about paper 1? i'd assume they'd only need one person to mark unseen but i'm not too sure, does anyone know? :)

    General Thoughts: Society and Culture

    my teacher said it's normally an 84-86 raw (including pip and exam) but i feel like it'll be pushed down this year based on the fact that it was a new syllabus and the general response to the exam was "WOOOOOOOOAH THAT WAS SO HARD, I GOT SCREWED OVER" lol. but then again, I don't know what the...

    General thoughts: English Advanced Modules Paper 2

    I unfortunately didn't get to write a conclusion for my mod A essay, but I made sure to constantly synthesise my arguments throughout the essay and reaffirm my thesis/link to the question at the end of my key points. My analysis was pretty solid and I basically got my whole essay down (6.5...

    hsc results: what info do we get?

    this might seem like a pretty dumb question but i'm getting heaps of conflicting information so i just wanted to clarify: what information do we actually receive when we get our hsc results? all i know for certain is that we get our band performance (e.g band 5 or 6), but i'm just wondering if...

    General Thoughts: English Paper 1 (AOS)

    Maybe around 37? I feel confident with my essay and unseen (expecting between 13-15 for both, wrote 7 pages for both if I remember correctly) but creative tho lol I fucked up my time real bad (my exam time management is terrible) and got 3 pages of utter bullshit down in 15~ minutes. Regret is...

    Your Approach To Paper 2

    they asked for two related material for mod c from like 2002-2006, but from 2007 onwards it's been either "refer to ONE" or "refer to at least one" related material. it's entirely possible they could ask for two but seem pretty unlikely given they've been asking for one for so long now. be...

    Advice : How do you guys get energy after school to study?

    if it works for you, then yeah i'd recommend you keep doing it. my issue was that i got home between 4:30-4:45 so my naps finished later, and i wasn't waking up til 8-9pm so basically my whole afternoon was taken up (plus i'm extremely lazy and could never be bothered studying after my naps...

    Advice : How do you guys get energy after school to study?

    whatever you do, don't let yourself fall into the habit of napping after school... it will ruin your sleeping pattern and your life (trust me). the best thing you can do is develop good habits - so for example, exercise for 30 minutes when you get home, have a light snack (fruit or healthy...

    Nominated Poems

    yeah from what I've seen, it's really unlikely for them to nominate a specific poem. And given that it's a new elective, I really doubt they'll specify.

    b6 raw mark?

    What raw mark should I be looking to get (/105) for a band 6 in advanced english? I'm ranking equal 1st in advanced, my school rank is normally between 90-100, and on average we get between 10-15 band 6s for advanced english. I'd really like to be reaching a mid band 6 range at the least, so...

    section one marking scheme

    So last year was the first year to get the 3-3-3-6 marking scheme for paper one, section one. I was just wondering, do you guys think it's likely that our AOS paper will also follow the 3-3-3-6 marking scheme?

    Memorizing essays

    while the personality study is probably the section that most allows you to come in with a prepared essay, just be careful. for my trials, i prepped for a rise to prominence/three most significant events question and got stuck with a historical context/background question instead which basically...
