Lol@that. I'd like to know what they're playing at, since it can work for some people, but not for others. I went out with a friend yesterday for a leisurely walk to 'relax', and ended up getting swooped by four magpies in the space of one hour. I concur, jirwin. -nods- I'd rather sleep...

Yes, it applies to all subjects. Plus, whether you stay in Advanced or go down, you still have the rest of the year to boost ranking across all your classes and whatever.

:rofl: Meh. Stuff the spa shit, I'll just sleep away the stress. Hopefully. Maybe. Ah, fishnuts.

Relax. What is this word, 'relax'?

Gotta love the Arts. Thanks for your replies, guys. :)

Which is why people make such a big deal over the Top 200 schools in the state; if you go to a selective school, for example, there's less chance of you screwing up majorly, because the results and the work ethic of a selective school mean that everyone generally does well. Which brings me to...

Alright, if you ranked 26th out of 26, it still can make a difference. Your cohort sits the exam on the day. Say you got an exam mark of 85, and it was the 16th best mark out of your group (all the people in your year who go English Advanced). The person who ranks 16th in your group will get...

My teacher's always told me that it's better to do Advanced, because it's much harder to get a Band 6 in Standard English than it is in Advanced. With that said, though, it's not impossible - it can be done. Standard generally doesn't scale too well, because of the sheer amount of people who do...

It's 30th October this year. Hurrah.

Extreme tangent from the topic at hand in this thread, but, ranks: EE2 - 1/2 EE1 - 1/5 Eng Adv - 11/16 Maths - =37/37 Biology - 13/29 Business Studies - 31/42 At a school that would not get into the Top 200 if its shitty existence depended on it. There is no feasible woot with this, now, is...

Same. I considered doing it at one point, just to have that 78.00 cut-off instead of 83.00, but it's arts and media, and my father's a stingy arshole, so fuck it. He would be like "You may have got in but I'm not paying it all for you."

General consensus with my cohort is that you do comprehension section first, then your essay, then you have time to relax for your creative writing; it's potentially the easiest part of the exam. It's ... the only part of the AoS exam in which I actually get something above 10, but ... anyway...

I need an 83 for Arts (Media & Comms) @ UNSW. My assessment marks are around the 60's. Self-explanatory. Except for EE2, I got 40/50 for internal mark for that, and some mark in the vein of that for EE1. SO! If you could recommend ANY way in which I could obtain my lovely...

My teacher actually advised me not to do this; she said if you integrate the quotes seamlessly into your paragraphs instead of placing them on new lines, it would flow better and would give the marker more of an easy time when they get to your essays. I've never actually written quotes on a new...

The only thing that shits me about all this is that I won't get into the course I want, but I have to try anyway because I don't have any other option. Oh, and the back-to-back exams, got to love it. Twelve days left (!!!). And I'm still deciding which subject to do notes on first. Business out...

It hasn't been too hot where I live, so it's a pleasant kind of 'climate' to study in. But I s'pose my relaxation time's turned into erratic patterns; I've done no study since I finished my Business notes yesterday. Fun.

I'm with Jess - know two or the stimulus texts in depth, so you don't get thrown off. Physical journeys is pretty much good for Frost and Atwood (self-explanatory, if you read/brush up on the poems). Inner journeys is better with Atwood, since you can talk a whole lot more about it than you can...

:rofl: Perform consistently well in assessments, be prepared for exams so no question whatsoever can throw you, and don't sit around on MySpace for twelve hours straight having a comment war with your friend because Mathematics seems to be as interesting as the wrong end of a dog (i.e. not at...

Okay. Say my internal marks were average (okay, mediocre ... around 60 or 65 or so for each of 3U English, English Advanced, 2U Math, Biology and Business Studies; internal mark of 40/50 for 4U English), and my ranks were average, would it be possible to obtain an 83 for Arts (Media &...

AIII!!!~ Happy days. :D Biology is alright. Except I'm missing like half the theory dot points from Maintaining A Balance. Heh. Woot? PS: Oh yeah, and call me Xuan. :)
