Thanks heaps for that! There's lots and lots of generic essay questions but even my draft one didn't match your example (btw I got mines from different teachers/ classes). As for the text, yes I really need to engage with the texts. The RM was easy to but the prescribed... (let's just say no one...

Long responses in general (content heavy stuff)

In order to avoid the transferral of verbal vomit onto paper, I must plan so I actually answer the question and include whatever is required (maybe 2 mins-ish). Then it may be actually writing in a structure (this is the worst since I might need to add more to what was written). But because...

I wish, man, I really wish that was realistic for me

You mean how*, I think. Yes I guess I can dissect my prepared essay and mould it in but that's with broader questions (aka syllabus wise). For specific ones, like cough* in English prelims... then I'm doomed

Thanks for the tips! My main problem are the long responses. How much time do I spend on each after I eliminate the ones I already finished?

.....Don't worry I don't daydream during reading time. I do read. Well one embarrassing moment was when I read too in-depth and after 3 pages reading- ok writing starts now...damn

I know what you mean. However 5mins of thinking goes in a flash

Agreed. I'm always weary of the amount of pages too. And yes, my personal watch is always in front on my desk. Really similar to yours, I find this works with content heavy subjects. btw awesome yr11 2u results! I'll be lucky to have 45 mins left to check back :/ I have heard that essay method...

During an exam, time is against you. The main thing is to attempt every question to the best of your ability, but is this realistic? Do you: -Set 1 to 2 minutes per mark? (e.g 10 marks = 10-20mins) -Not answer in full sentences (maybe dot points..)? -Plan for every question (is that time...

Depends on your study/ memory type. Making your own notes but using info from band 6 notes is beneficial while it suits your learning style. When personalising your notes, it makes you remember info more. Btw, just a general question, what type of memory do you have? Photographic, visual, aural...

Excellent question, something I'm always really curious about Gathering info -answering syllabus dot points -basing on what my teachers have taught in class -filling in the gaps by using past student's notes or the net/ textbooks My notes -I use A4 blank papers (so much space and unlimited...

Awesome! Good work and great enthusiasm. I would be jumping with joy with the continuing of those marks Top student right here^

Seriously, I can't stand speeches. I would rather do an embarrassing awkward dance in front of my class to some music, and knowing my year, people would join me =) The bad thing about speeches is the whole seriousness of it, things sound 10x's better on paper than aloud so not only the teacher...

Marks haven't been finalised so I can avoid it for now. I felt pretty crappy after I presented it. So embarrassing. Me nervous, I swear I started releasing gibberish, it didn't help when someone in the audience raised their eyebrows in confusion :/ arghhh... don't want to get marks back but I...

I guess I have to wait for the inevitable. Well, my gut feeling says that's one horrible speech I have done

Well I imagined this: dude says something, girl replies with one word, then awkward glancing and looking down (apparently thinking of something to say). Someone in this relationship isn't forward enough!

Remember all of times saying "we'll work extremely hard in HSC, prelims doesn't matter blah blah". Well my HSC English speech was pretty crappy

Even shy, quiet people who are your friends give more than one-worded replies. It might be a hint she's giving you
