My teacher said originality is something that's sorely missed in the HSC :o|However only attempt poetry if you have the ability. So if you're not that great of a creative writer, stick with what you do know, but if you feel you are capable in creatives, it's up to you if you want to experiment.

Do you have any post modern techniques? They tend to indicate sophisticated use of language. E.g, it's easier to write events chronologically than not, where not writing time in a linear form is a post modern technique (I forget the actual name of the technique tho). Maybe look at the marking...

<3 Good luck! C: LOL I did the same thing in eco, which was one of the reasons why I dropped it. I figured I didn't need more paranoia. On the other hand, the best responses in Eco are the specific ones. If it's working for you, then it's up to you whether you want to change or not. Don't...

It shouldn't look like a textbook if you have a base and you're just adding what other textbooks haven't mentioned. And I don't mean by just a different phrasing - like small details that actually haven't been mentioned. Note that you don't need more examples/case studies and such ify ou feel...

Depends. Everyone has a different learning style, whether that be self-studying or tutoring, self-learning, or having others set a pace for you, learning ahead, aural, visual, kinetic etc. Matrix basically has this system where in Maths (not sure about other subjects) they give you two booklets...

You should be able to use speeches. Creatives incorporate more than just the narrative form, other's include poems etc. However, like what obliviousninja has mentioned, speeches are often harder to score well in than narratives only because speeches well are usually spoken. If you use a speech...

49 kg :c I need to grow taller.

Re: Year 11 2014 Chat :) Maths is all about practise. Unless you feel you're not grasping the concepts at all (which I can totally relate with - but on another subject), then I wouldn't suggest dropping to general. Consider whether if this is the only assessment that you did relatively worser...

Also doing it, haven't read it yet. Hopefully it's not as bad as people say lol xD

That's what they're going for ;) Week 1 is like the opportunity week for all facilities to make all them drop outs second guess ;o I'm kiddingggg :P

This is making me want to drink tea xD; Green tea, red tea c:

Idk, I've taken VA since year 7 and I feel the time management is overrated. You get practically half a year to do it anyways. Maybe I'm just slightly deluded xD; I understand that eng ext 2 requires alot of work but somehow I can't take it seriously when all eng creatives are already 800-1k...

OMG :O I've got pretty much the same issue with you at the moment :c Except since I've picked up Eng Ext 2, I now have 15 units //shot I'm also debating whether to drop eco/bio or VA atm. VA is like easy marks but apparently 2 major works aren't recommended. Oh well c: Best of luck! EDIT: You...

Look at around how high everyone else is scoring for society and culture. Maybe your other subjects were harder exams so the proportion of anyone getting high 90s/80s diminished significantly? Its probably preferable to look a your rank (if you can) over % in test in this situation.

Same here c: Does anyone else who picked up eng ext 2 not have set lessons for the subject? I feel as though my school's telling all eng ext 2 student to largely self-study/research o3o

Been there done that, there are still 2015'ers here who I would feel threatened by (academically ofc) if they went to my school and did the same subjects as me. EDIT: **meant 2015'ers on BOS lol

160 :c Hopefully I get a growth spurt soon.

Both notes and past papers tie together IMO. I doubt neither would be effective without the other, so arguably you couldn't say one was overrated if they are both so dependent upon each other in honing an individual's academic results. In that if people think notes = have higher opinion than...

It's not you, I don't think. Night night :). Sweet dreams, sleep tight, don't let the bed buggies bite.

Felt like you implied you were defending something :) Them feels. 8D herp derp.
