Does anyone have anything that will make the markers cry tears of happiness? ANYTHING

is the thesis or your backup more important?

is quotes valued more over your own hardcore opinion (uhh what if you remember bits of some important quote? should you just not add it or make it up?)

how much can you/should you write?

I tend to get better marks when I keep it simple and add sophisticated vocabulary.

no, not really
no 'words' will give you 95+ - works as a whole

Nice 100 dollar joke

srsly i think quotes are important they help tie the general idea of the essay, thesis pretty much states ur idea but quotes reinforce it.

It's hard to be good at english if all u do is memorise and write info u really need to understand it well. Thats the key i guess.

Niwayz goodluck :)

P.S english really suxs :(

$100 notes in the answer booklet.
Happened before at Fort Street apparently. Student got the booklet back, with a bad mark and minus the $50 he put there. When he asked the teacher, the teacher just said: "What $50?"

That's right, markers like it when you can re-write your texts in the form of an essay... it's so annoying.

Get a really, really good tutor.
I've always criticized those who use English tutors, but I'm feeling more and more inclined, due to an increased sense of doom with regards to upcoming trials, to indulge in hypocrisy and get one. I haven't gotten any feedback for any of the Modules, and I'm desperate for it.

You will get 95+ by arguing you thesis (whatever it may be) which addresses the question very well (via techniques of course) :)
