    sophisticated language in personal responses + creatives

    I don't remember using any extremely sophisticated language in Mod C or even extension english for that matter. For me, the main marks came down to voice, language features, and a unique yet relatively simple storyline which helped me to pull around the 17/18 out of 20 mark. I'd recommend...

    Why is that during periods of price changes, two businesses (performing equally well in most respects) can report differing profit levels

    Due to the presence of different methods of Accounting that address the impact of the price change in different ways. E.g. FIFO, LIFO, Moving Average, Specific Identification etc.

    how does LIFO (Last in, First out) acts as a tax minimisation strategy for businesses

    LIFO minimises tax as it attributes the most recent sales of goods to COGS. As new and better goods are put onto the market, businesses will be forced to pay more for these items (as they are higher quality than previous stock), yet may still sell them at the same price as prior models in order...

    Timing for paper 1 (calling 2019 students)

    45 minutes per section. Both are worth the same amount of marks, so it's worth spending the same amount of time on each. If you can finish the comprehension even quicker, then even better, but I wouldn't recommend spending over around 47/48 minutes on it. When I was writing my practice essays, I...

    What technique?

    The main techniques that spring out to me from this quote are antithesis, syntax and allusion I'm not sure what you're trying to speak about in regards to "inference," but I'm pretty sure that you're referring to allusion --> "We are to be woo'ed, we were not made to woo" alludes to the growing...

    How to attribute a technique to a quote?

    I don't think that you should've been marked down for this either, but I know that many teachers favour students who embed their quotes into their sentences. For example: Lysander's soliloquy explores how "...", using the extended metaphor of ______ in uncloaking the raw nature of love through...

    Studying for English

    I've been hearing this question a lot, so I've pretty much copied my answer that I put in another forum under the *COPIED AND PASTED* subheading. Unfortunately, I didn't do any of the texts that you are doing, but I'll try and answer your question for Mod A using an example from my texts. In...

    How to study for Advanced English Trials?

    For English advanced, I started the common module and module B by typing out like three or four short dot points about the context of the texts which I would broadly address in my introduction to both of these essays. With module A, I did a small comparison table between the contexts of my two...

    Advice on "Memorising" Content

    What I'd recommend is ACRONYMS! If you're doing a content-heavy course like Business Studies or Modern History, acronyms will honestly be the best and most useful tools for memorising. What I did was dedicated an 'acronyms page' to each unit that I studied, which I handwrote out entirely. I...

    This might seem like a dumb tip but always READ THE QUESTION. I find that highlighting the directive term (i.e. Evaluate, Assess etc.) and other key bits of information in the question allows me to hone in on those ideas and always refer back to them. For my study, my note-taking technique was...

    How to attribute a technique to a quote?

    I'd say that "mute protest" is an oxymoron as it distorts the conventional image of power from one of voice and expression to one of silence and secrecy. Shows how true power is inherent and, by displaying your capacity for power (i.e through protesting), you lose that power under an oppressive...

    Subject Selection Help plz

    Speaking from experience, I do think that extension was a lot easier and more interesting than advanced. Extension looks at more abstract concepts and philosophical thinking which I felt was more interesting than the content covered in advanced. I was never a maths person (Didn't even count...
