    James Ruse 2013 Graduate 99.95 ATAR |SELLING NOTES AND ESSAYS|

    The last time I met Steven was either at Primary School or at a reunion or another, but even then, he seemed like he was going places. So I wasn't surprised at all when I saw his face in SMH, proudly showcasing his 99.95 ATAR. His notes and essays definitely have my recommendation as well...

    Song as related text, yay or nay?

    I'll offer an alternate opinion - I analysed not a song, but an album in my Extension One essay and got 25/25 in the HSC. Similarly, a friend of mine achieved 94 in Advanced English using 'Bittersweet Symphony' as a related text. The difficulty of analysing a song is differentiating it from a...

    How Business Studies stole my 99.95 ATAR

    You forgot the part where you cost Denny and me state rankings. :( But since you carried for Maths, all is forgiven (from me at least) But solid advice bro!

    English EC

    They don't give you any theme - it's basically writing whatever you want! There's nothing stopping a person from 'cheating' and just starting before the 1st of November, but remember, NaNoWriMo wasn't designed to be a competition or anything, it's really just a means of getting a person...

    Fear of writing a short story

    Which Module are you doing? Stream-of-consciousness might not be able to adjust to the conventions of certain Module's well enough as it WAS popularised during the Modernist era (Eliot and Joyce amongst others). If you're doing Romanticism it's obviously going to be difficult to write in such a...

    English EC

    There's always National Novel Writing Month (NanoWrimo), in which you attempt to write a 50,000 word novella within the span of one month. It's really fun and whilst the majority of your writing is admittedly going to be rushed and pretty shit, it pretty much decimates whatever writer's block...

    Studying for an "ugly" subject

    Extension Two English. Some people enjoy it, but I went in there without a clue as to what to write about, and I still didn't have a clue about 3 months later. When I finally decided on my plot direction it was pretty much out of necessity, not careful, deliberated planning. There was enough...

    Bachelor of Commerce and Business/ Law

    I've heard that finance is good. Plus, finance doesn't rely as heavily upon your writing ability, so it might benefit you a lot more! :) With that said, don't choose a degree that you really hate - realistically, not many of us actually get a job we enjoy, but make sure that it's one that...

    Overusing the word 'belonging'?

    Using the word 'belonging' is as important as using the key words of the question that you're answering. So long as you're showing an in-depth exploration of 'belonging', and thus illustrating that you actually know what you mean by 'belonging', there's no need to saturate your essay with the...

    What case studies should I know inside-out for Business studies?

    Iirc, Qantas is a popular choice for human resources and Toyota for Operations (primarily quality control). However, just saying, I made up my primary case study during the 2012 HSC (although I did plan it out beforehand, and think of hypothetical scenarios). I achieved an external mark of 96...

    Should I Try Out For Selective?

    Sydney Boys is a great school to try out for, but it's honestly difficult to get into the school without being 'imported' to do well in one of its school sports (The sports it primarily recruits from are rugby, rowing and basketball). I remember that for Year 10, my year had around ~10 new...
