Don't memorise essays... just don't.

I mean, bear in mind that English is subjective and you never know what markers you'll get on the day, so anything in the A range is highly respectable.

Stick to 3-4 quotes per paragraph, 9-10 or so quotes per essay for EVERY module. How the hell can you analyse effectively with so many quotes??? And I know I'm repeating myself from other threads, but I have to... DON'T MEMORISE PRE-PREPARED ESSAYS. It's the biggest English death-trap imaginable...

I myself wouldn't have such a collation prepared, but I mean, you don't have to print out the stimulus and question booklets. You can always look at them on your laptop as you're practising to save paper. And I would agree, THSC is your best source of practice papers, as well as BOS.

I went to a Catholic school, and there were some really great teachers, but also some really shit ones. Although the thing I hated the most about it was the toxicity of my grade. We had some real douchebag drug addicts, but we also had some pretentious, high-achieving snobs who looked down on...

You'll get in for sure! The requirement for R & D is way higher than Psychology.

That's strange. Perhaps they have high benchmarks for computer science, and besides, I didn't apply for early offer schemes to ANU and I still got in, so don't worry too much. If you keep up the good work you've been doing in Year 11 and get similar results, then you'll get a high ATAR and...

I'm sad to say that the majority of my Advanced English class also had no motivation to learn, so Standard was way worse at my school (I know this for a fact because no one in my cohort got band 6 for Standard). The only English class where I saw real motivation was in Extension 1.

I did this for my HSC and it helped me so much. Would definitely recommend noting all your mistakes, because a lot of the time the mistakes come from silly calculation errors or a lack of understanding of the content. The mistake book can help you to identify these types of mistakes so you can...

I never received tutoring from AOS, but they do have great resources so I'd recommend.

I reckon you can definitely get 91+ if you keep up the good work!

I did it last year. My bio says I completed my HSC in 2022 by the way...

The analysis is derived from the quotes, so I don't see how you could mix them up. And you need to use the strongest, most important quotes in whatever your text is so you can adapt them for whatever your arguments going to be. I did this and ended up with a band 6.

It killed me a long time ago... I'm just a ghost come back from the dead to warn you all not to take this pathetic subject.

I'd say memorise quotes and analysis. You can memorise the structure if you like, but on the exam day you might find your structure changes depending on how you think you can best answer the question. Just go in with an open mind and you shouldn't run into any trouble.

That's stuffed, but be warned about memorising essays. Just go in with an open mind so you can adapt your ideas to any question rather than having a preprepared response that doesn't match the question.

I'd die if they made you all draw your calculators this year.

Haven't seen either yet, but I would want to see Oppenheimer.

Yeah, this annoyed me exceedingly when I was at school. Whilst I always managed to be among the top 3 english students at my school without a tutor, the top student would always beat me because they had a tutor helping them. I knew because their written work always sounded perfect but when it...

There is nothing wrong with dreaming... yes, I think you should be able to achieve a 99+ ATAR if you keep up the good work you're doing so far (or doing even better).
