    Syllabus notes - Do they really help?

    I'd say basically for any subject with the exception of maths, cos maths is pretty straightforward with all the textbooks there are

    past HSC: did you flunk trials but managed to do well?

    sounds alright, but need to know how big your school- how many people are in your subjects, i.e. 3-5/x amount. Also, can't give anything accurate without school rank

    Yeats Essays: Same as usual?

    yeah I was just interested, because this module is a critical study of texts, does this mean we have to quote critics or anything? I did an assessment and part of the teacher's marking criteria was 'shows evidence of wider critical reading', and I didn't get full marks but I'm not sure if that...

    Yeats poems

    3, Easter 1916 Irish Airman and Wild Swans At Coole; but we have to know all the poems, they can ask us specifically on an individual one =\

    how will maths affect my uai?

    You obviously do care more than you let on, but it'd be hard for me to give you an estimate without ranks...And maths will bring down your UAI/ATAR by a LOT, because it's a lot lower than everything else and you're only doing 10 units, if the entertainment course is counted...So basically, work...

    Writing outside of lines?

    From what I've heard of the way things are marked, teachers won't look at it and just go 'Does not compute', and ignore it. It'll be irritating, so don't do it unless it's not much writing and very legible, but they're not gonna give you 0 for it.

    Yo yo yo atar babyy estimate hehehe

    true, I didn't consider that...then it'd be 86.5 -91.5 or so then
  12. A

    Rough ATAR estimate possible, please?

    but with those ranks there's no way OP will get b6s in everything, so really looking much lower. Wishful thinking doesn't equal reality, unfortunately.

    belonging creative story

    ignore all the morons here, it's fine to do that, as long as all the belonging shit is fairly subtle yet immediate to the marker, whether belonging or a lack of, both are acceptable

    Memorising 5 essays for the trials...

    it's more beneficial to remember structurally and roughly, i.e. by paragraphs and quotes used. Practice exam papers to help memorise, it's much easier to remember something when you're not just regurgitating information but actually thinking about it.
