I'm sceptical of that theory. The marker is far more likely IMO to assess your argument on its merits than throw it out because the subject material is common.Originally posted by Rahul
do not do the matrix.....the marker would not b too impressed as many many ppl will do the matrix.
I think thats how it's supposed to happen in theory, but if a marker sits down and reads heaps on the same thing, then reads one on something a bit different, the may throw an extra mark or two your way for taking a more original appraoch-maybe it will seem like you better understand the topic if you go for a less obvious text. Even though you'd be sticking to the guidelines, and really shouldn't be marked up or down either way, it can't help to be a bit more creative-as long as you still manage to come up with a good essay of course.Originally posted by kini mini

I think that incompetent markers who let that influence their judgement are inherently unpredictable. You never know how many ways there are to offend a fool. I took my chances and it was alright in the end IMO .Originally posted by Rahul
i would still disagree....i have heard it from many hsc markers that they did not lyk marking the same stuff. think of the extra marks u could get if u do a text that is diff from the common ones.
in the end if u have answered the question well enuff u should get the deserving marks, but this mite happen wid sum markers.
