clever angel, arent you an 05er ? wait until we 04ers have finished our HSC and you'll get a past paper

well i know the macquarie reivision guide is good for english adv. but i wouldnt go run and buy it just yet. by the time you get into year 12, there'll be a million more textbooks that are better than the ones now on journeys.

the questions are pretty much the same every year. they dont ask specific questions because everyone doing the HSC has to be able to answer it. the format / layout of the paper itself is the same every year.
section 1 - three texts given to you by the BOS and you have to answer questions on it
section 2 - piece of creative writing associated with journeys
section 3 - a question asking you to link your prescribed text at school and your extra related material

edit: if you look at past papers on the AOS, even though it is "change" it should give you some idea of what questions are to be asked.

Kimmeh, would the Maquarie book be good for me to get? (class of 2004)

i dont know.. my tutor fotocopies it for me
maybe you should go take a peek at it in the shop and if it meets your standards then buy it i dunno.. i have this thing against english textbooks but its up to you.

Yeah I thought this too. I mean all we get of BOS is the speciman paper and we don't get that for a while yet. I reckon it will be kindda hard does anyone know anywhere (free) where we can get some parctice essay questions. I would prefer to not pay for a book seeing as I only really want the essay questions to practice.

I tried looking for ANY sort of Advanced English guide but there were zip...l was absolutely dissapointed.

There is a new version of the excel english advanced study guide that hasn't been out for too long. it has good summary's of every text for each module. I don't think it has practice essay questions though.
