    Share your 2009 ATAR here

    Same here. I got all band fours, 75 ancient, 75 Dance, 75 English, 74 maths and 71 society and culture and got 59.70 So dissapointed, I could have tried more but with those marks I didn't think i'd get a 59.70 ATAR

    2009 society & culture exam

    I was so pleased to see Macro and Micro worlds. Seriously, like the easiest things to define ever.

    Extension 2 dance

    Small minded people will have small minded replies. Dance is actually quite an indepth subject and although it appears to be 'a bludge' in which we just 'prance around' it really isn't. Alot of work goes into it throughout the year with basically what you could call 3 major's. (technically...

    Any PIP advice for newbies?

    Choose a topic you will be able to convey at least a little bit of interest towards throughout the year. Don't pick something you'll get bored with because you just won't put the right amount of effort into it. START EARLY! Trust me, I had about 20 ideas before i settled on my topic which...

    Belonging - 2 supp texts okay!

    Also, the only people that should feel threatened by the choice to mark both related texts are the people that didn't write an indepth answer and as a result now have something to blame their marks on.

    Belonging - 2 supp texts okay!

    I'm sure it's been said before but - technically the people that only wrote one text are at an advantage because they would have written a more indepth answer. I am one of the 'retards' ,'dumbass'' ,'idiots' ,'dickheads' and/or 'sluts' that infact wrote two related texts. No matter if they both...

    Section III - Personalities

    Agrippina the Younger.Questions were EASY.A bit difficult to get 10 and 15 marks though.For her death, I wrote how she had hired Seneca for nero and ironically he betrayed her and helped Nero kill her. Wrote about collapsable boat and stabbing blah blah got about 4 pages.And for the...

    Section I - Core (Pompeii and Herculaneum)

    For the first I wrote impluvium and compluvium and for the Tourism question I just wrote how they've moved things and how moving the bodies around to ad 'shock value' for the tourist, as they want there moneys worth, and Pompeii needs funding to function blah blah.

    JulioClaudians

    I didn't realise that Augustus was a main point in the JC's I thought it was more the other four emperors.I know nothing on this topic as my old teacher left right when we were starting this topic and my new teacher is kind of hopeless. I'm hoping one will be a question on Claudius as I do not...

    General Thoughts: English Standard Paper 2 (Modules)

    I feel your pain. The third module question was so simple to relate with Billy Elliot but I completely blanked and ran out of time.

    Do you lose marks for having 2 related texts?

    I admitted that I read the question, I just did two anyway cause I couldn't lengthen my core info.

    Do you lose marks for having 2 related texts?

    Thank you. This is what I am trying to say. I UNDERSTAND that a band 6 is more then likely, unacheivable with an answer with 2 related texts. What I was trying to say was, and dissagreeing with La Bomba about is the fact that they wont TAKE MARKS AWAY from you. Is that clearer for you La...

    Do you lose marks for having 2 related texts?

    What the hell? No need to get all angry. Only in English that sluts can get away with answering your own question? How does that even makes sense.

    Do you lose marks for having 2 related texts?

    You are to obsessed with making it known to everyone that you think you know what you are talking about. READ MY PREVIOUS POSTS. In which you will see that I did infact say that I could understand how it would not achieve a band 6.

    Do you lose marks for having 2 related texts?

    If you took the time to read my previous posts you will see that I did infact say how I understood how it could be considered waffle. It seems that you are not understanding what i am saying.

    Do you lose marks for having 2 related texts?

    I dissagree with this because I really don't think they'll 'take marks' as such. It is still technically talking about what the question DID in fact ask, just with an extra text. It is not as if people answered the question completely wrong, just added a 2nd text in out of habit. I also dont...

    Do you lose marks for having 2 related texts?

    Also if the Markers haven't been "briefed" yet how do any of us know how they will mark? This was obviously a first that alot of people were not expecting and therefore answered the question with 2 related texts out of habit. I do see how the extra text could be considered 'waffle' though but I...

    Do you lose marks for having 2 related texts?

    I read the question but I still did two related texts anyway but I didnt both in great detail because I figured that 'just in case' one is poorer then the other, I could hope that they'd mark the better one. But now I realise how it could be considered as 'not reading the question' or answering...
