    Handwritten or printed-out notes?

    with so much technology & programs being created, typed and handwritten can be stored in one place I have 1 or 2 subjects that I type up and print, the rest handwritten.

    Handwritten or printed-out notes?

    Handwritten or printed-out notes?

    I have been scared of being wrong for a very long time. However, as long as you have an answer that you can provide for that particular topic. Remember that not every person is going to have exactly the same answer as everyone else. Ask yourself 'does this answer the question?', 'is this...

    Handwritten or printed-out notes?

    What are your opinions on these?

    separation is only good if you are strong in synthesising points from multiple texts. Personally, I wouldn't be able to pull that off

    Creative: Importance of language techniques

    Late to the party but I've been told from feedback to 'do less for the plot and focus more on characters' Personally I do not enjoy stories that go round and round for one event and the character(s) don't actually do anything Would not read hsc creatives for leisure!

    How to prepare for English in holidays?!

    What I'm in the middle of doing: -annotating while reading the new prescribed (pick up on most important points) -making as much creative writing with different characters and storylines -creating generic essays -finding more related materials and seeing which ones i can use

    HSC Marker admits that some markers only read intro of essay!?

    Advice for School!

    my aim is to keep doing practice papers so I can refresh old topics as well and also to set a day each week to summarise new topics my memory isn't great so I might have a brain overload but as long as I do look back at old notes

    Does my blog exist?

    I read through the FAQ thread and it says something about blogs. Where can I find that? However, the thread was from years ago, so does the blog option still exist?
