    What will NOT be an essay in 2005?

    This is not true. I'm looking at the 2001 paper as we speak. Section II is a conversation: "Two readers are arguing about the ending of the prescribed text you have studied. Compose their discussion. The discussion should demonstrate your critical understanding of the prescribed text."...

    Who's the YOUNGEST 2005 HSC Student in here?

    The youngest is 12 or 13, I can't remember which. It was in the Sydney Morning Herald a few days ago. He's only doing 4u Maths though.

    Does section III take you the longest?

    I do section 3 first, and it takes me about 45 (1300 words). Section 2 is next, and that's about 40 (1000 words). Then I spend the remaining 35 mins on section 1.

    What question to do first?

    I like to start with 3 (which is my longest), then do 2, then use whatever time is left on 1. That way, I shouldn't run out of time, as section 1 is pretty felxible.

    Writing Fast - crash course :D

    I'm also one of those 1300+ word people. Mine is actually relatively legible. One major tip is to warm up. Before I go in, and during the 5 minutes reading time, I shake and stretch my hand. That way I'm ready to go as soon as it starts. Also, don't grip the pen too tightly, and remember...
