    Teachers - can they ace the HSC?

    Depends on the teacher and the qaulity of their teaching and knowledge. Maybe in maths its possible to get full marks, other subjects theyre bound to make some mistakes. E.g - Modern history, where there are always discrepancies with marking even if your essay seems top job material. So, mainly...

    Has anyone managed to attain high ranks without tutoring?

    Yes, top 5 in everything, except maths. Most are 2nd place by point something. Still awaiting 2nd trial results to determine if i'm in first place for some of them. Maths is the only outlier. :S No tutoring... except once a week for maths over about 3 weeks, where the tutor sucked, and seemed...

    Has the same essay question ever been asked two years in a row for any subject?

    Yes, I've noticed few similarities in the modern history papers over the last few years. So yes, I do agree that you shouldn't ignore those questions because most of the times they only change the wording around, add in a different verb and yeah, you get the drift. Answer past questions and the...

    Best Trial exam so far?

    I dont agree. They werent direct dot points. To me, it was rather a skill-based exam. Those long responses had some thinking involved... And i'd say they were a combination of second-hands as well as dot points.. Which you had to think about. The options topic was not too bad, although i did...

    I'm interested in law too. I like english as well. I don't know though.... english will help with a lot of things, but you can check what the universities consider as assumed knowledge or recommended ones in the UAC book. you might get an idea then. the course i want to do is linked to...
