    Worth keeping notes?

    Is it worth keeping HSC notes once you are finished for ANY reason? I'm not interested in selling them and have no younger siblings. Peace

    Tips to prepare Paper 2

    OD13...I'm confident they will either specify a speech, make us do 3, or have a second related text for Conflicting Perspectives (If you do that). It will pop up somewhere there, so be prepared for three speeches and have a spare related text. Also, I'm memorising all my quotes and structures...

    NBN came to my school (Belmont High School) and interviewed some kids.

    00:22...hmm. Also I can't believe that troll thread got quoted. He posted it a day before the freaking exams. Ugh. Idiots.

    Naughty 2012ers!

    I think if people were taking DMT this close to the HSC they'd re-evaluate their existence and decide to hell with it, I'm moving to the beach to grow cannabis... That reporter is loco.

    Anyone else not memorizing?

    Leffi, that can be a bold move with creative if you happen to have a blank. I had a blank in the trials and if I didn't have the gist of what I wanted to say I would have been screwed. Fortunately that wasn't the case, because I had some idea what I wanted to write. Just make a lil plan of...

    Anyone else not memorizing?

    I haven't started on the P2 essays but have a good grasp on them. My mem. technique is to read it through aloud twice, then write all the quotes out and keep saying them in order and mentally associate the technique/effect, then write it out fully and see how close you get, repeat until...

    turning creative story into feature article?

    This thought just occurred to me. My story is about a child's experience of losing a father in the war, how could this be turned into a feature article? I don't even understand what a feature article is. Got it thoroughly remembered in my head, but how do you go about transforming that?

    ATAR Estimate Please, All Overall Ranks

    Yeah, our school marks extremely hard for English. I came up from rank 34/40 after the second assessment. And that still seems too high ahah. Maybe it's just because I've told myself I'm going to go bad.
