not me sweating knowing I've barely done any study at all
i'd rather stare at a blank wall than study its that bad

just try ur hardest not to stress do as much as u can in the time you have, you'd rather look back and think u did everything you could than doubt that you could've gone better. you got this!

if you scroll all the way to the bottom of the list I gave(it's sorted by rank order), the lowest ranking school is "Rooty Hill high school".

it has a 0.2% success rate. 1 band 6 last year, and a few years back they had 0 b6's

yea mate i heard ur the dux there if u got a singular b6

guys is 1100 words in 52 minutes reasonable or am I a really slow writer? I just timed myself doing a T.S. Eliot essay

its a reasonable speed but i think you will have to shorten it unless you are comfortable with have under 30 mins to do mod c
i think max time to spend on each essay in paper 2 is 45 mins as 30 mins for mod c is reasonable, since mod c you just yap and dont think much
ideally 40 per module tho, i dont think many people are sticking to that

isnt monday like staff development day so the term actually starts on tuesday? idk

maybe some schools couldn't guarantee all staff would be available the Monday or that any fixing up of the school they were doing over the holidays would be done? idk

 

[thelittlepotatofrog]

it would have been nice if the exams started a week after school went back tbh

if a piece of analysis in an English essay for 1984 is factually wrong (apart from the technique) do u think the marker will notice

like if the effect the quote has is wrong but the analysis is right do u think that is an issue

 

[sainzsgf]

i think if you explain your point well enough, you can make any quote have any effect, just make it appear to the marker that you know your shit and it is in fact correct

could you explain why cause my teachers keep saying that you can get scaled down if you dont hit the breakeven point

it is genuinely just straight up 100% not a thing. some random tutoring centre made it up and it’s spread a ton but there’s no basis nor any sense in it as a concept. just ignore all of it, the better you do in your exams the better your marks and ATAR will be

the way scaling actually works is that UAC forms a model for scaling based on the subject’s entire state cohort in english (and I believe the lower versions of the subject like maths ext 2 -> maths ext 1 where applicable) and then uses this model to convert your raw mark to a scaled mark. that’s it

I like to have all my essays at 950 words or under, so it might be good if you can cut down bc you wont really be getting any faster from now
