Modern History is scaled a bit better than Food Technology, but you should choose subjects that suit your skill set - if you like Modern go with it, if you like Food Tech go with it. Here is a list that shows the scaling trends of all the subjects since the new HSC was introduced...

Go here.:)

Hi tragictruthofme, dihybrid crosses aren't in the core so I can't really give you certain advice. I can give you this link though: http://hsc.csu.edu.au/biology/options/genetics/3062/genetics_973.html#a2 You might be better off having a search in the subforum for your option and see if...

I dislike it because its innacurate for me, I always look at it and go "AHHH!! WTF?! How did it get so close?!" and then after nearly having a coronary I realise that I have another 7 days on top of *that* because I don't start on the 17th. *glares at panic inducing count down*

No one has their results yet - and those results won't matter until your UAI is released anyway, so sit tight.

Yes, I enjoy studying English - I think there are flaws in the courses but I have overall enjoyed it. My favourite parts of Advanced were King Lear and its critical theories, not to mention all the gags in Frontline as well as the analysis of the media made it a far more enjoyable endeavour...

Hello lmakin:) Basically what the scaling is, is that in some subjects you have a factor of reduction or gain depending on the state wide performance of the candidature i.e. a highly scaled subject will contribute more, mark for mark to your UAI than a lower scaled one. However the scaling...

A euphemism is a more agreeable or less offensive substitute for a generally unpleasant word or concept e.g fudge

They can ask any text type they desire except the essay, for it is a creative piece not an analytical. This means it will revolve around a situation you have invented rather than deconstructing an issue. They will however refrain from poetry simply because its too difficult to mark, and would...

If you had read them then you'd likely have gotten higher - thats pretty tried and tested as well. And it isn't just about "prefering to read", its what you sign up for when you do the course - lots of reading, its even part of the course requirements that you do "wider investigation" ie reading...

Well interpretations alter over time and in different places and cultures - you understand this right? For example the Elizabethan/Jacobean era ensured things were viewed very differently for there was a great emphasis placed on order and structure(which in conjunction with a little political...

Its common practice in the HSC to introduce your texts in the introduction, though if you are an exceptionally strong writer you can get away with not doing so. In my introductions I classically state my basic stance and cite my texts as proof of that stance making sure that rather than simply...

Many people have preffered ways of writing their essays, some use paragraphs to focus on themes and ideas and others piece by piece look at their material(both prescribed and related). Better essay writers manage to compose an integrated thesis to respond to the question and thus score higher...

Simply because a text comes from the junior quarto is no reason to exclude it from your studies if you have a hankering to do that text, keeping in mind that most markers will know this text at leat slightly and will expect you to look at it differently than it may previously have been. I myself...

Mishka, just tell him to check Students Online, as that will have all of his exams and their locations listed.

TAFEs are ranked alongside schools, however the rankings are never released with the TAFEs included so you can't really say how TAFE is ranked. Also, you do not get scaled down for attending a TAFE at all. You do however get your internal assessment marks moderated by how you are ranked in the...

Evan will try to explain the 3rd person phenomena even though he is probably still comparatively a n00b.:p Third person originated as a bit of a silly game and evolved into a sort of tradition that marks this thread and the type of conversation typically found within. As such it is adhered to...

There are 4 prescribed texts and it usually states "at least 2" in exams, and because in EE1 they can ask just about any question you can learn the extra because you may be able to respond to a certan question better.

w00tage! Fresh meat!:D Hi Chris! Welcome to the thread! There's a lounge to your right(though its covered in Lynn's glitter and...err whatever Alan left on there but its still good!). And here here! Computer working-ness for the future! So what subjects do you do Chris? Evan wishes Lynn the...

I would be fairly careful when centering a piece around teen angst/romance etc. unless you can be fairly original with the concept but otherwise its a fairly open playing field.:) EDIT:Ooh timewarped post!
