    SORII Essays

    Heyyy. Is it essential to have three body paragraphs in an essay? I know it's recommended but there is no way I can currently achieve a five paragraph essay in 30-40 mins of writing time, especially with my brain going in full haywire trying to remember textual quotations. I'm thinking of a...

    Doing 2U too... good luck to everyone! I never saw the perks of accelerated until this Year 11 to 12 transition.

    The new English syllabus apparently involves grammar, punctuation and spelling. I guess the reliance on technology has called for such a change :spin: Some people excel in that area so I guess the new syllabus isn't completely bad- it's subjective I suppose.

    11 or 13 units for the HSC? Drop Biology or nah?

    Sounds like a good plan! I've been feeling the exact way and have decided to keep Biology too. Good luck for the coming year! :D

    Should I consider Maths Ext 2?

    I am currently completing an accelerated course for 2U Maths and have been going well, with around 90/100. My year 11 Maths Ext 1 marks are around 43/50 (hopefully it can be maintained for year 12) My other subjects probably need fair improvements, but my teacher at one point encouraged me to...

    How many quotes should I memorise for an essay?

    They don't have to be long either; just enough to get your point across (and enough language techniques if it's for English).

    What should I drop? Currently doing 13 units & suffering!

    Yup yup. I'm probably gonna say the same things as supR and Frostguard. And in advance, good luck with Prelims :spin:

    Memorising Quotes? Okay, but what about analysis?

    Hey! So we have two essays to write for Prelims and we're required to answer 'unseen' questions on our Prelim Area of Study and poetry texts. Memorising quotes aren't a problem but are there any tips for analysis? I've pointed out language features / techniques. Is there anything I can do to...

    Help! Failing chem

    Hey! I know what you mean. Chemistry in itself is a challenging subject and when you continuously don't go well, it's hard to find determination. I was going through the same thing (only, it was Prelim) and I found studying a little bit every now and then actually helped. You don't have to do it...

    Yeah, we've gotten our exam timetables too! It's only over a week and a day so... that's gonna be fun. Luckily mine are fairly spread out and I've got an early finish too :D Good luck with studying though! I'm still trying to find the best approach to all my subjects.
