    The Town Where Time Stands Still

    I don't even think my school covered the town were time stands still. It's a really good text though. Particularly for inner because it talks about the motivation behind journeys. Gems

    Walking out.

    Oh right, yeah I guess it would be quiet disrupting. I have a scribe so I've never been in the exam room, so you have to excuse my ignorance of that sort of stuff. Anyway yeah I don't know why you'd walk out early though. I'd just stay there and read through everything and write anything I...

    Anyone Doing Inner Journeys- Cosi ???

    Hi - Yeah I'm doing Cosi. I reckon it's a pretty good text in comparision to the others I'm doing. Anyway I haven't got typed notes - only handwritten. Basically you gotta know the deffinition of Inner Journeys which is on the syllabus. I summarise it as Journeys of the mind and spirit which...

    Walking out.

    Yeah in HSC exams you can't leave in the first hour or it's considered a no serious attempt. And you can''t leave in the last half hour. I'm not entirely sure why that is but I think it's because they've gotta go through and maake sure everythings done correctly and your student number is on...

    Writing outside lines.

    Frazzle I don't think you'd be able to get a scribe this late. It's all application forms and stuff. They had to be in at the end of term 1. You can get them later than that if it's something recent but with only a week to the HSC I think it's a bit late. You can ask at your school though. They...

    Writing outside lines.

    I was told we were supposed to write essay plans and stuff on the blank paper and just our essays on the lined paper. I have a scribe for the exams anyway so I think I get a seperate booklet to do my plans in and stuff (at least that's what I did in trials). Gems

    Why is it not anonymous?

    I think a lot of people are ringing up to clarify stuff and that's why there not really posting anything up here. Like I rang them up asking about the AOS paper and what we need to know for the 3rd section. I don't see much point posting up what they said seeing as it was just clarfying things...

    Accidentally smudging the Multiple Choice sheet

    As far as I know the MC are computer marked. I don't think there double marked I was told that it was only for questions that are worth more than 5 marks or something like that. So like in English the first section isn't double marked. I don't know if that's right though. Gemma

    HSC results via sms

    We get our written letter with the results on the 20th. I think you can access the results for 9am. I don't know how the SMS thing works but it sounds good for me as I don't have great internet access. Plus I don't think I would sleep the night before hand anyway.

    call waiting music

    Yeah the hold music is pretty cool. None of that classical stuff you normally get. I started laughing when I heard it because I was expecting classical stuff. I like how they remember your name and stuff. They probably have it on a screen but I still think it's good. Gems

    Studying English?

    Crashoveride - Your best of having 4 texts for Journeys (Perscribed, BOS Booklet, and 2 extras). They can ask for more than one extra text. They can also specify a text in the BOS Booklet but they never have so your best of knowing them all. They can also say more than 1 BOS Booklet text. That's...

    Related texts for it yeah I have heaps though not all are as effective as others. Checkers - John Marsden, I am the cheese - Robert Cormier (may have done it in year 11), Letters From the Inside - John Marsden, A Cage of Butterflies (you possibly did this in junior english 7-10), Prison...

    Can I use Advanced SET TEXTS as related texts in standard?

    Yeah you can use advanced texts. Why on earth wouldn't you be able to. It kindda limits the texts you can use if they say you can't use any texts prescribed for any level of English. My Brother is using 1984 for institutions and that's a 3 unit text I think. Oh and don't count on it only being 2...

    My teacher told us know 2 really well, 2 sorta well and 2 just a little so that if they ask for them you at least have something. If they ask they normally put the poem in but they don't have too. Gemma
