A l are you a teacher or a student?

I don't know about some of the essays in the English section. I think from now on, the mark has to be included when it is uploaded as a prerequisite.

Mainly, just that help was readily available from many different people--uni people were helpful as a source of comfort and 'been-there-done-that', other high school students to see what goes on in other schools' HSCs (your school can get isolated really easily).

Didn't really use notes or past papers, but it was good for my peace of mind. also procrastination, lol. Thanks BOS!

EDIT: playing around with SAM--that was good to push up my motivation.
