    Study breaks

    Quite true. It really does depend on the difficulty of your trial, and whether or not your teacher aligns your marks or not. My maths teacher always aligns our marks to a 65 average whereas English will just give us our raw marks. Typically though you can compare your trials to past HSC's and...

    How to get UAI of 99+?

    Depends how naturally intelligent you are, and how suited you are to the system of the hsc. There's not a huge distinction between first and second, though obviously it is better to be ranked first. Yes, the HSC is all about hard work. But not necessarily all the time. Consistent work is far...

    Do rankings REALLY matter?I

    Agree :) But fuck there's nothing you can do about them now. Either try to ace the externals or just fuck it and look at other ways to do what ever you want to do. ie come back as a mature student EDIT: it also depends on how well the rest of your grade goes. If everyone gets in the range 60 -...

Ie 'More than anything else physical journeys are about the interpretation of the new' You would not be able to use a related text about imaginative journeys to...

    creative writing, physical journey?

    No it can be on anything. The best ones incorporate more than one type into their response. For example you could have a physical journey resulting in inner growth with imaginative elements incorporated. The only time you have to just do your focus is for your essay.

    standard english creative writing, physical journey?

    No...your creative writing does not have to be on your focus (physical journeys). In fact, typically, the best responses incorporate two or three types into their piece. So it could be a physical, inner journey with imaginative elements. But basically it can be any type you like.

    Advanced Englishhhh Help: how to study

    Mmm...the one thing I didn't put in my post before is that when you write your skeleton it is absolutely essential that you integrate the question into your response. The better you are at adapting ur response to the question the higher up the bands you'll go.

    HSC year almost here

    yes but that would be foolish. I can understand a healthy amount of stress around trials/hsc....but even then its more of an adrenaline rush and not so bad. At the end of they day, for the majority of the year it was steady work with a fair bit of fun. Unless you're stereotypical asian nerd...

    any surprises this year?

    Yeah I had a few people like that at my school. I've always gone reasonably well but been a bit of a cruiser. This year, one of my best friends who'd been in the bottom english glass since year 7 decided she'd do all 4 units, worked really hard and absolutely pwned me. Same thing in...
