    Predictions for Speeches Module B question?

    Anyone have any predictions? I have a feeling it could be on Reconciliation. I'm just hoping they don't nominate a speech.

    How are marks actually calculated?

    Hey guys, I was wondering how Band 6's and the like are actually calculated? Like, do they take your raw mark from the HSC exam and then find out your mark with your internal score, or do they scale the raw mark first? Do you actually have to achieve 90% in your HSC exam to attain a band 6...

    In regards to texts reflecting the way attitudes are modified over time.. does that refer to contextual attitudes or attitudes held by characters within the text itself?

    ..Okay, So Who Got Selective Entry This Year?

    Thanks - and unconditional entry thank goodness! So much less pressure now haha. And I'm not sure about the ATAR - they just say that if there is a dramatic drop in your results they can reconsider it, however if you perform consistently and even if you don't necessarily attain the ATAR needed...

    ATAR Esimate :)

    Hey guys, today I got my final report card and I was wondering what my ATAR estimate would be. I previously used atarcalculator.com.au for my mid year report, and my final report is actually better than my mid year, although the ATAR estimate is now lower, and I am just quite confused about what...

    CSSA Ancient History thoughts?

    I wasn't too sure about that. I said it was a high ranking man in society because he wore a short belted tunic, but I really wasn't sure. P/H multiple choice was terrible. I remember reading that the early inhabitants of Pompeii got their water from the Sarno River which was then drained into...

    CSSA Ancient History thoughts?

    I personally was not prepared for social structure in Pompeii and Herculaneum and I was a bit disappointed with the ancient and modern interpretations of Hatshepsut, however I got a fair amount of writing done anyway. But thank god for the Hyksos question in NKE to the death of Thutmose IV...

    how hard?

    When I first started extension I was going absolutely terrible. It's a bit difficult to get your head around the concepts at first I find, but once you get the hang of it and know how to structure your essays it gets a lot easier. As for the workload, it is like doing a 2-unit subject at times...

    CSSA Trials: English AOS Paper 1

    Thank you, that makes me feel a lot better! I had As You Like it as my prescribed text so for example at one point I talked about the destruction of natural order in the play (how this was of importance in Shakespeare's context etc.) and then how that context influences an understanding of...

    CSSA Trials: English AOS Paper 1

    So for my essay I took 'significant moments in time' as meaning context and wrote about how the composer's contexts influence the understanding of belonging in each of the texts (I still related it back to certain events in the texts though mostly). Am I completely fucked or do I still have some...

    What to do if a 'belonging' essay question is specific?

    Hey all. So, in a week's time my trials are beginning and I'm still worried about the concept of belonging, in particular the essay. At the moment I've been writing a general essay on As You Like It + one related text on how belonging is created through a sense of place, connections to other...

    How exactly do individual rankings work?

    Hey everyone, I was just wondering whether rankings only count if you are coming first in a particular subject, or if your ranking counts no matter where you are coming. I don't think that makes sense, so allow me to elaborate! I know that if someone is coming first in a subject, they will...

    IPT Mark

    I received my report today and despite getting over 90% in each IPT assessment this semester, the report mark I received was only an 84. Is this a scaled down mark, like it will be in the HSC? Really regretting choosing this subject now..

    ATAR Estimate?
