    "auto mark" words?

    Clearly they will love that because they are literary techniques. I believe you should be using them in your essay already, as well as a whole heap of other ones you were taught in junior high school.

    Everyone's problem

    I usually sleep for 8 and a half hours during the school week. Then again, I get driven to school. If I had to catch public transport to school it would be far less.

    Half Yearly Depression

    Yeah you can. Particularly if the exam wasn't weighted particularly high and you go to a good ranked school. I'm sure you didn't even do as poorly as you expect :)

    How many hours of co-corricular is everyone doing?

    Not too sure. It depends on the scholarship type and the university.

    State Library NSW

    There are rooms to study in. It's a multi level library. The bottom floor where you collect your reserved books has a lot of space from memory. It's just been renovated so it's all pretty new. I've been there a few times and there's always space. And yeah, you can talk quietly, but you obviously...

    Problem

    Or, maybe try another maths teacher? I'm sure there's quite a few, and most should be comfortable with the general maths course. Maybe what you need is a teacher who hasn't had much senior experience, and teaches juniors. This way for certain topics you'll find the information can sink in better...

    PIP - MALE NATIONAL IDENTITY AND FILM

    Hey :) My PIP focus question is: ‘To what extent do popular Australian films accurately portray the construction of the Australian male national identity?' So, obviously I'm looking at males and how Australian films shape their construction of the male Australian national identity. I would...

    Registering for an ATAR

    Isn't there something in our paperwork when we go into year 11 that asks if we wish to receive an atar and we just tick the box? When you get your HSC confirmation of entry that the school always sends around (usually in homeroom of whatever), it'll have all your subjects and your personal...

    Can someone explain this quote to me?

    No religion starts off as good or bad. How the adherents live their lives is what determines the good or bad scale. Do the core beliefs which are mostly in the sacred scriptures have any bearing on how an adherent lives day to day? If the religion teaches good, but the adherent does the...

    Not an ATAR estimate

    I want to have a greater sense of personal achievement. I would be very annoyed if I got an ATAR of 80 when I know I could have gotten 90.

    Help with Plath-After the Bomb essay

    I would focus on 3 poems. I tend to focus on Daddy, Lady Lazarus, and Fever 103 (only because I can relate these to more universal feelings, I suppose - they fit in to After the Bomb really well). I would focus on the paradigms and themes, and then go on to say: the imagery of WW2 presented in...

    How does it feel not doing maths?

    Dropped at the end of year 11. I love seeing all my frees pile up.

    essay body paragraphs

    I would say open with prescribed. After all, it is your prescribed text. You relate your related texts to the prescribed, not vice versa.

    essay body paragraphs

    I usually do b. It's easier because you can compare/contrast more fluidly I suppose.

    crime writing or life stories?

    I do After the Bomb, but my friend does Crime Writing. I heard the texts can be a bit dull? Not sure, but what do the crime writing students think?

    For all the kids sitting the HSC in 2012 ..... What do you want to do next year?

    International and Global Studies at USyd. I want to get into diplomacy down the track, and have always had an interest in international relations, but I like how you can also study international business too.
