    For those who got into early admission for their universities...

    *really* bad. Like you'd have to get band 2-3s in every subject.

    My teacher said you can, but shouldn't because depending on the marker they might not notice the initials and have no idea what you're talking about.

    Yeah arts is like... the easiest course to get into at uni and aside from the purpose of transferring it's also the least useful for a career.

    All Nighter for Modules

    Problem is I won't remember a thing about any of it tomorrow without thinking of what I was doing in Pokemon. That'll trigger all the memories.

    All Nighter for Modules

    I'm currently procrastinating here, listening to classical music, reading Bladerunner/Frankenstein quotes, writing down summaries of things to remember for each, reading my old feature article and playing Pokemon Y. I multitask a lot, something you get good at from playing lots of RTS games and...

    On a Scale of 1 to 10, how prepared are you for tomorrow ?

    Best advice I can give you for FrankenRunner is to really quickly go over SparkNotes for each and do some quick connections with the idea that Frankenstein is a foreshadowing/fear of what Bladerunner presents because the entire point of this module is to compare and contrast texts from different...

    As it turns out my old feature article on FrankenRunner is better than I remembered. Think I'll just regurgitate it in essay form if possible.

    I just looked at your subjects. That's committment. Also known as "I'd kill myself" personally. The only humanities I've ever been able to stand is history, mainly ancient history.

    More like "uni now, or uni a month later?"

    :D My next one is next Thursday in the afternoon (software). Yay for us.

    Stop trying to memorize essays. That's for people that have been studying for months already. I haven't bothered trying to do that. For Paper 1 I just wrote an essay for Romulus, My Father and then memorized all the quotes/techniques I used in it. Plus if you memorize an essay and it ends up...

    All Nighter for Modules

    I won't stay up all night but I'll probably be up until 1-ish. Currently: memorizing quotes/techniques/scenes/themes etc. etc. from Frankenstein & Bladerunner that I used in my feature article assessment, the only English assessment I've ever gotten an amazing mark in. Also playing Pokemon Y.

    Estimate Raw Marks

    ~30-35 ideally. 25-30 is probably more realistic though. Only finished half of my essay.

    I dunno why people put so much stress on English. It doesn't damage your ATAR as much as you think it does. Lets say you blow out in English and get like 60, if you get a minimum of band 5 in everything else and your subjects are harder ones (e.g software) then you'll still get an ATAR ~>80...

    I haven't studied any of the texts for paper 2 recently

    Problem is I'm really good at blind comprehension. I suck at studying English though in the sense that I don't. Or at least I do very little. Can't wait to finish the exam though. Gonna go home, light up a giant fire in the front yard using my notes as kindling, paint mathematical equations...

    General Thoughts: English Paper 1 (AOS)

    Whether or not there were two is irrelevant now is the point.

    I haven't studied any of the texts for paper 2 recently

    wat do? Now that I think about it I've never read Frankenstein (even though I got an awesome mark in the trials for it) and I'm in the process of reading Julius Caesar properly for the first time. Then there's Yeats, but I can just wing it as long as the question doesn't ask for a poem other...

    General Thoughts: English Paper 1 (AOS)

    Section 1 - I think I've gotten 13-14/15, answered everything but two points in the final question. Section 2 - I wrote a mad creative story about an eSports player and made sure to have nothing to do with the game itself so the markers wouldn't be all "not another one of these zzz." Only 3...
