    Analysing LFR

    G'day boss, With KRIII/LFR, you'll find that there are a lot of similarities between the texts, especially with the first and last acts. In my opinion, you should filter out scenes which show contextual differences (that is, differences that pertain to the composer's contemporary audience). For...

    What are your thoughts on the new Extension 2 Mathematics syllabus?

    You could look at it that way. However (and this is purely my opinion), I don't think it's too bad? For sure, people who are native English speakers that look at these types of questions can potentially solve them just simply based on how they sound, but that doesn't mean that those with English...

    Can they specify a poem for T.S Eliot in the new syllabus?

    I don't think they'd specify a poem, but the current direction of the HSC is that they'll make the stimulus lean towards a particular poem. For example, last year's HSC had an excerpt for the Hollow Men, but it didn't explicitly state that you had to talk about the Hollow Men. However, as this...

    Do HSC answers seem like they are just way too abstract/complicated?

    Also, don't be disheartened by these band 6 responses. The whole point of section I is to comprehend texts and write about them with relation to the question. These answers don't have to be as abstract as the sample answers! As long as whatever you've written is backed up by evidence from the...

    Should I do extension science?

    Hey boss, First and foremost, you should do a subject that you ENJOY doing! The HSC is already going to be a stressful time, so you aren't helping yourself by doing subjects that you dislike but do because they scale well. I think that the more you enjoy a subject, the more willing you'll be to...

    Question Help (2020 Paper)

    Hey boss, If you still got the answer and your working out is logical, then you'll get the marks. The marking criteria provides SAMPLE answers; not necessarily ALL of the methods to obtain a result. These answers are typically the most common methods. From what my teachers have told me, the...

    Mathematical Induction Algebra simplification?

    (2(k+1)-1)^3 = (2k +2 - 1)^3 = (2k +1 )^3 Is that where you were stuck at? If you're going straight from the assumption and doing LHS = RHS, be wary of expanding that k+1!
