    something interesting I found for the 1 vs 2 related texts

    The HSC booklets have 24 lines with fairly indented margins. Personally I can get 9 - 10 HSC booklet pages done in 40 minutes, with A4 book pages I usually do 6 1/2 to 7 1/2 in 40 minutes. I can read my writing fine, even though its not neat I make my letter rounds and dont squash them together...

    something interesting I found for the 1 vs 2 related texts

    As quoted from last years marking comments on the AOS: Highly developed responces showed a discerning choice of texts and supported an insightful understanding of the the concept of journey and added substance to the analysis. The majority of candidates in this range chose to discuss three texts...

    strategies for section I / location of more

    I've always done exceptionally well in section one but I still get incredibly nervous that I won't be able to identify what the writing is saying about journey or the techniques imbeded in it or I'll waste to much time just sitting and thinking about what to write. Also I feel like I've tended...

    Study On Only One Stimulus Booklet Txt Sufficient ??

    Whilst I swapped from journey to the interior to the town where time stands still after the trials(I could easily write about both if i had to), I think about 80% of the state would be screwed over and their would be a lot of tears if they asked for 2 stimulus texts.

    Study On Only One Stimulus Booklet Txt Sufficient ??

    I'm not going to sit on the fence and say yes one stimulus text will be sufficient as long as you can make a sustained argument on it. The Stimulus booklet is designed by the board of studies so you will find the past HSC questions have a level of adaptability to all the stimulus texts and...

    Which Texts Are You Doing? (Stimulus+Prescribed+Related)

    Wow I'm absolutely amazed at most people doing the town where time stands still. Yet I guess on this site you are dealing with individuals more towards the top end of the state and not that 80% of standard kids who do the road not taken. Anyhow I'm doing: Prescribed: Robert Benigni's 'Life is...

    King Lear HSC06 question

    Whilst I believe this year will focus more on themes and readings, a strong paragraph I feel is still needed exploring how KL has been viewed and received over the years/different contexts. This would involve demonstrating how KL was originally viewed and then moving on to talk briefly about how...

    Think of it this way, to get in the 80s she needs to be in the top 20% of the state, now do you really think over 20% of NSW atm is doing 10+ hours of study a day? try 5% most likely an even smaller figure..
