For English you might want to consider investing in some books you might enjoy reading. Although you'll have to focus on your prescribed texts at school there is a definite benefit by making reading other texts for your own skill and understanding of both English and Eng. Ext 1. For Maths the...

If your looking for a great discovery text look at Taxi Driver (1976) by Martin Scorsese. Away is basically about the denial of how society functions by going on holidays and pretty much covering up the nitty-gritty details of living in a time of war or life in general. Taxi Driver basically...

Start with a stimulus, go google some pictures of landscapes or something that might inspire you to write. or... just force yourself to use this stimulus/question: 'I wanted to keep on moving, yet I wasn't sure where too" Using the statement above as the beginning to your story, compose a...

I'd probably drop it at this point, I did Legal Studies for my HSC and the fact is that if you can afford to drop it and your going bad in it... do it. The Trial and HSC exams for Legal Studies is brutal, if you want to get a good mark you still need to remember a bunch of material for these...

Hey Ben, If your stuck on what you should be studying this article might be helpful http://www.ssedu.com.au/the-4-fundamental-habits-of-a-band-6-student/ But to help you out specifically you should honestly be trying to spend most of your day in front of a textbook or in a study...

I'd take it in a step-by-step process, First, find out where you lost your marks and start to accept them yourself as to being personal mistakes. If you can overcome this hurdle, it gives you the best chance for recovery because you start to realistically find out what you did wrong and not...

Not sure if this is too late but... I personally have taught metropolis and 1984 + henry IV and I actually studied life of pi for my HSC. I'm located in the Fairfield area, pretty close to what you've specified. call me on 0449 691 996 or email me at martin@ssedu.com.au

You might also want to check if your school or assignment has a referencing policy if so, just reference where you found the pictures from because this might also be in your marking criteria for a bibliography.

I personally did extension 2 unofficially when I was in Year 11 and I'd like to add to the discussion as to what I think accelerating should be about, I find that even though a student can do extension 2 earlier, be it by self study or by tutoring, the question isn't about whether it's wrong to...

If your studying the crucible this is probably the most relevant question, From my understanding and various other sources (wiki), the play pretty much draws upon the Salem Witch Trials to almost provide a satirical comment on the McCarthy era where there was a fear of communism as Miller...

You definitely should be able to argue that but then again most questions might get you to target something so it's always a good idea to answer the question directly after, you could treat what you just provided more of like a definition as to what discovery is and how it works but your true...

your parents get mad that you didn't come first nah but it's as simple as this, you're looking at a pretty high mark still and let's say there's someone out there who is ranked 4th and beats you in the HSC, the moderated mark should mean that you are 'cushioned' and the person who beat you who...

I wrote an article a while back on this you can check it out here, there's a download link and also an example of how to use it: http://www.ssedu.com.au/the-4-fundamental-habits-of-a-band-6-student/ Basically, with your study schedule it's important to have a good idea of how much time you...

It's very likely that they'll look at your previous rankings and marks and then make their own suggestion as to whether you can do a certain subject or not. You could probably get away with a new school as you could talk your way into those subjects but then again no guarantees.

Well, if your school traditionally produces a good amount of band 5's with a rank like that, that's your best bet to gauge off your ranks alone. BUT, if your wondering whether you can achieve a high band 5 I would say it's more than possible. I've had many students move from low band 4's all the...

I agree completely, don't think your letting anyone down. Take everything with much constructiveness as you can, so take some time and go find out why your teacher doesn't like your introduction and make sure you understand as well. Then, go and improve and write a better introduction. It's a...

I ended up doing 13 units whilst I was in Year 11, 11 units when I was in Year 12. In my opinion take this time in Year 11 to figure out which subjects you really would concentrate and study for when you hit year 12. With 11 units I found that I was able to really spend my time correctly around...

When you're trying to write a creative it can be as simple as trying to flesh out that idea to any stimulus. so let's say you're faced with this stimulus "Looking outside was out of the question" You could then just get any plot to try and bring that not belonging aspect to life. e.g. could...

It's probably easier to find something which is along the same lines but no you don't have to just find books about nature. There are plenty of other ideas Frost raises in his poetry like commenting on the fragility of life or the importance of upholding responsibilities - all figured out...
