    Honestly, studying for Maths is actually a hobby once you never have to touch English again in your life.

    Help!! I cant write english essays in time

    For Paper 2, seeing you've got 40 minutes per essay, for Mods A and B which are conventional essays, I would split the 40 minutes into 5 for intro and conclusion and 10 minutes per paragraph. One more thing to note as well, if you're on your 3rd body paragraph and have 5 minutes left, leave it...

    2021 BoS Chemistry Trial

    Oh yh, I didn't even notice that it came up in the question before, my bad

    For me honestly, I actually never got the concept of what a discursive is, so I quickly scrapped that idea. I personally stuck with creatives as I found them much easier in terms of character development and a storyline which fits will with the question given. But of course, if persuasive is...

    Football discussion thread

    I think Chelsea is a great example of what I was trying to say, a lack of chemistry wasn't the right term to use but as you mentioned, a lack of proper management. If you look at their squad, they don't have many world-class players like Ronaldo, Salah, Messi, etc. Rather, they're able to...

    Football discussion thread

    Oh yh, I saw a football news article which was like they're considering sacking him despite not even having played a game for Ramos, because of his injury record. If that's the case, that surely has to be one of their worst signings. Like I get he's one of the best right now and all, but once...

    paper 1 - short answers

    Yh, I just had a look at last year's Paper 1 and just noticed that as well. I'd say we were quite lucky as there weren't any like 7-8 marker questions ... they were 4, 5, 5, 6. I'm pretty sure that you were allowed to go beyond the lines as long as you stayed within the region they specified not...

    2021 BoS Chemistry Trial

    Even having a look at it myself, I would think 1, 2 and 7/20 (can't decide which one) would be the ones which most people got right. Definitely agree that 16 would have individually been the hardest just because even having done chemistry myself last year, I never came across nor heard of...

    Football discussion thread

    Literally PSG and Man United have the exact same issue at the moment; world class players individually but no overall chemistry ... like honestly, imagine having Messi, Neymar, Mbappe (that attack alone is probably worth than most first teams in the world), Ramos, Donnarumma and everyone else...

    hsc reading time

    Ideally should be remembering it if you can remember 3 essays, but in all seriousness, they give you a form which you have to sign (like stating you won't be involved in any form of malpractice), and it'll have it on the top there.

    Formal Excitement Yet Stressed

    Apart from actually arranging the outfit and buying it, what you actually gotta wear is quite stratghtforward. A suit attire with a blazer and tie is probably the go to for guys, and then a dress for a girl. I'd definitely argue that girls would struggle much more with their outfit as there's so...

    paper 1 - short answers

    A whole page for 5 marks isn't as long as you think. The lines are quite tall in length, meaning there aren't as many lines on a page as compared to a standard A4 book, meaning you'll be able to write the same answer but require more lines.

    Engineeting stds tutions?

    I don't actually think engineering is as related to physics as you may think. Engineering is definitely more real-life application with concepts like tensile stress, ceramics, corrosion, etc. Whereas with physics, there definitely is more knowledge, especially about theories long gone which...

    HSC starts in a week… Now in a day

    I'm not going to lie, Module B was my worst module by far, compared to the other 3. To be honest, I'm not even sure if I went about it the right way. But what I did was just integrate quotes from the extract which were relevant to my paragraphs (so I pretty much memorised an essay, changed it to...

    Engineeting stds tutions?

    From what I've looked up online, there doesn't seem to be any tutoring centres for engineering, just because it's not the most common subject which is taught in tutoring (unlike maths, english, sciences, languages, etc), unlike I'm wrong and someone else can chip in. I would just look for a...

    Just got my first year 12 assignment. What do I do now?

    Exactly ... there's no point in attempting practice papers if you don't know the content (you can use practice questions to even aid you with learning the content, but I would leave past papers till after this). You want to treat past exams just like the actual exam, so I don't really see a...

    HSC starts in a week… Now in a day

    Having done KHIV last year, I can guarantee they won't ask anything on the minor characters, just because they don't undergo character development. The characters I would have a solid understanding of are King Henry, Prince Harry (also known as Hal), Hotspur, John Falstaff and maybe a bit on the...

    hsc reading time

    As stated in the name, reading time should solely be for reading time. So you can't have anything in your hands apart from the exam (no pens, highlighters, pencils, etc). However, you can make folds in the booklet with the texts if it makes it easier for you to refer to. For example, you may...

    Just got my first year 12 assignment. What do I do now?

    As it's due in 2 weeks, you still have sufficient time to perform very well on it. I would definitely space it out (it might require half an hour each day, it may require 2 hours each day); only you would be the best judge for that. With your other exams you may have, you can definitely fit...
