[Study to success]

I just gave up and started freeballing every exam, i do no study dont pay attention in class but with a good short answer response i make it over 50% average and im happy. saves alot of time to not study but also like im not gonna get a good atar i might be screwed lmaoo

but lowkey if that's kinda a good method cause if u know u can spend all that time u spend on eng on other subejcts and do really well then u can just bomb eng. Cause if u feel like u put a lot of effort into eng and aren't getting the results u may as well spend that time on other subjects to ensure u get a band 6 then spend all that time to get a mediocre mark. I would do this but too bad I suck at most of my other subjects as well so I can't.

Does anybody know when our nsw education emails get deleted cause I wanna transfer all my files before that happens

I'd assume when HSC finishes.

It looks so chill icl. Obviously there is some tricky questions, but overall it seems that it gives ppl who are part of the exodus from Advanced a sense of a weight off their shoulders and allows them to spend more time on other subjects.

hmm yeah. But I like procrastinating my other subjects with math hehe. I mean throughout this year it was like the other way around but sometimes I do. If I dropped that means I would have to spend more time on my other subjects rip

has anyone started memorising their english essays?

its def based on preference, like if u have memorised essays up till now dont suddenly start freeballing cause it probs wont go very well (concidering theres only 11 days to practice)

personally i memorise mine, but they r kinda just all my evidence clumped together, then I pick and choose what I use on the day. So for mod B I have an "essay" but each paragraph is super adaptable bcs I have so many different pieces of evidence which all work together in any order or situation.

Also, Mod A is always the exact same q just in a different font so I 100% recommend memorising mod A if nothing else. Its always "how did [old text] influence/inspire [new text] or how does [new text] critique/[insert another rubric term] the [old text] (if that makes sense...)

Tbh, as long as you put the work into ADV, it shouldn't be too much of a jump from prelim.

oh I love english extension love english as a subject but despise english advanced. English advanced is not a real subject because what they are testing you on is memorisation and comprehension of specific texts, english extension is the study of english and literature. (I also literally am very lazy and dont study and english advanced is so much memorisation of quotes i cannot be bothered) the only reason im doing adv english is so that i can do ext eng, otherwise id (probably) drop to standard

yeah I do 12 units so it was so good! but i wish there was a lvl in between cause its such a drop in skill level tbh. like i don't even feel like im using my brain anymore rip

Yes! Extension is 10000% better than advanced. If i use my "extension level" analysis in adv i don't do well bcs they just want the same re-used evidence rather than actual individual thought. (I have a like 48/50 average in ext and 85% in Adv lmao)
Also I got 100% on eng ext creative so I thought mod C would be a breeze, but its so different!

yeah I wanna do economics so....maybe dropping wasn't the best idea in terms of that, but I literally only dropped like 1/2 way thru yr 12 so I know almost all the content anyways

oh no i also mostly freeball english extension but i at least feel guilty about it. It is easier for me tho cos it isnt as much memorisation of prescribed texts its alot more like displaying an understanding of ideas and i like to be well read if i say so myself, so i dont have to make up quotes halfway through an exam and pretend i know the subject, i can just write normally and hope i remember a couple quotes on the day.
