Yay, i didnt think there were any bos'ers from our area... are u at uhs or sas? i must say as much as its a beautiful place to live and all im kinda looking forward to getting the hell out of the country and living in the city for a while

Lol, lovely area, Ulladulla mollymook etc... Maybe I am a little biased living here and all. As for the nightlife in Jervis Bay, you'll need to drive to at least Huskisson to go to a mediocre RSL... there's not a lot to do after 5 around here ...

For prescribed 2 or 3 and for related 1 or 2... I don't go into much detail for my related because i figure if they wanted heaps of detail they wouldve been prescribed just enough to reinforce the point... I don't structure my essays based on text but based on themes, arguments, motifs etc...

Wow, it must be fairly thin for only 800 words. Still you have a week, just practise like a freak for a week and you might get that up 100 or 200 words...1000 words is achievable im sure

nope because emphasising an argument is earning you marks but dont feel the need to emphasise with 3 examples because thats just flogging a dead horse...

I didn't mean to trim it to the point where it's just here are the techniques in the text... I just meant to trim whatever parts of the essay aren't directly contributing to your arguments because writing that is wasting precious exam time you could be spending earning marks. Of course it still...

When I say succinct I mean if anything isn't 100% making your point, don't write it! I don't introduce texts like In X text, X speaks about X. This can tell us X. I just write X text uses X technique to tell X. My essays are 1200+ though... just look at one of your essays, chances are theres a...

Well I'm doing the 50th gate but for belonging I've got poetry and I'm doing 4 poems + 3 related... I focus mainly onthe prescribed though and only use related to reinforce or conrast my points

Wow, I'm doing three because the questions are always AT LEAST two texts... which i read as three... It's not that hard to fit it all in if youre reasonably succinct and can write fairly quickly...

Which one/s are you applying to? Do you have interviews and stuff?

Trust me, I can't wait until I get into the super mathsy type physics next year! I am completely opposite to you! I love them both equally but way prefer chem prac and physics theory...

I don't do bio but Physics > Chemistry, I think this is mainly to do with the content and my teachers though... Having said that, I hated year 11 physics and the only reason I didn't drop it is because it ws a prerequisite for just about every uni course i wanted to do...

Awesome thanks, definately makes me feel a bit better

Thanks for the rep :)

Just a quick question... In Chem I came second by about 0.5 of a mark and I know the guy who beat me is massively bludging and I'm working my arse off and am fairly confident that I'll get a better raw exam mark than him. The next person after us is doing pretty shit and I think he'll do fairly...

Fair enough, but can't you calculate you assessment mark from the individual task marks and their weightings? Most of my teachers told me mine anyway... And what about people whose school ranking fluctuates A LOT like mine, eg. 2006 470ish 2007 186 2008 592... I know why it fluctuates but it's...

Hi, same question but /84 for extension 1... Thanks

Seriously, you are doing your HSC, so hopefully you are a big boy or girl who is able to type "ATAR calculator" into google and find yourself a decent one. If you are worried about its accuracy, try another. This is a concept you should all know called cross referencing! Seriously we do not all...

You can switch after one year and the STAT isn't too hard just read the questions really carefully coz they can be a bit curly... If you do an undergrad degree you'll need to get at least a D if not HD average so be prepared to work your arse off

Working had will help you but working smart will help you a lot more. Make sure you're doing past papers and getting questions from all sorts of places.
