i'm definitely going to ANU so you can add me to msn too... celandina@hotmail.com

i'll have a wild guess at 80-85. oh yeah sorry for being such a weirdo... i guess i'm just happy because.... i've finished the hsc! :D :) :D

i didn't know what arae was but that's okay :cool: yes i agree about the commentary question... pathos and fantasy... hmmm... didn't write much for that one... was it just me or did the cicero unseen feel really topical? like, king deiotarus was hoarding "copias" of mass destruction...

shared it's short for aequalis, latin for equal congrats on your prizes :)

yeah i do french and i think 90+ would align to 95+ by the way, french extension is out of 50 not 60 raw. you'd be looking at E4 there too i think. the marks in your sig look like good guesses for aligned marks.. is that what they are? oh wait you just changed your sig! :p i think you'll...

yrtherenonames posted this.. seems like good guesses. basically passages that relate well to the focus areas are likely to be included. "Heroes and heroic qualities" might relate to the parade of future heroes near the end of the book... maybe? when you think about it, with grammar...

this issue makes me think of the movie Twelve Angry Men... i would tend to be against majority verdicts for some of the reasons moonlight mentioned. there shouldn't be any doubts.

i got 82.5%! semi-jinx! :p hopefully that might improve... but unseen is still super-tricky for me...

no one finishes on the 7th or 8th cause of school certificate... thus prolonging the HSC... :chainsaw:

no i don't think they would because if you look at the instructions we can cross out answers, write "correct" with a little arrow and stuff, a computer wouldn't be able to recognise that. i think humans mark it.

108-111/120 edit: prediction way off obviously. HSC mark = 92

the editorial in the australian today referred to the SMH article: http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5744,16992151%255E7583,00.html its not that interesting apart from its place in the australian's ongoing war against the new syllabus :rolleyes:

me too! yay! :) i think i would even like to read it again, in a non-HSC context.

Be that as it may, the question didn't actually specify that we write in an essay form. So i don't think anyone should worry if they did use first person throughout, it just means they wrote a personal response. As long as you've still got good analysis, it answers the question.

yes i saw it and i loved it - bill nighy was so sweet as always. my favourite bit was when he said "just because i'm not saying anything... doesn't mean there's not a lot i'd like to say" so romantic. the G8 thing was interesting too though a bit moralistic - i wonder if they originally screened...
