    Amount of related texts for English ADV

    I did 3 related materials, but in essays, I always did 1 or 2, depending on the question. Even when they said at least one, I always stuck to one anyway as I was able to really flesh out my ideas and make my related material analysis on one text the same length as what my analysis on 2 texts...

    Will you get lower marks if you use related texts from study guides?

    it's not frowned upon as such, but if you do a poor job of it and you basically just regurgitate information that is already in a study guide (and that all the other students doing the same text regurgitate too), then you'll most likely end up getting a lower mark. however, if you do a commonly...

    First Assessment Task help

    That's the key. You need to know everything about the text, and you need to be able to integrate and draw things together effectively and succinctly - i.e. you can't just keep waffling on about something irrelevant and hope it'll get you marks, you basically need to hit the nail on the head...

    Probability of 2 texts?

    I have a feeling they will be sticking to one from now on, or at least not specifying two. My justification for this is that BOS is increasingly concerned about cutting costs, and their biggest expensive is undeniably HSC markers themselves, so by reducing the number of related materials, they...

    How do you use an ATAR calculator?

    ATAR calculators work off aligned marks. They are then scaled (through the ATAR calculator) to obtain an aggregate score out of 500 (which adds up the best 10 units worth of scaled marks) and this then translates into an ATAR. Hope this helps. :)

    Economics Past Papers M/C

    As above, you can find them on the link michaeljennings has kindly provided. :) I would strongly suggest you print them out and do them, really try to simulate exam conditions, do your calculations on paper etc, rather than doing it on the computer because as we both know, you don't have that...
