I'm going to have to go with Metamorphosis as well. But it does depend on the branch of existential literature you want to explore. As in, you could do Kafka's "Metamorphosis" but you could equally do Walt Whitman's "Song of Myself"; both have heavily existential themes that you could talk...

Fight Club would be an awesome text to do! Maybe also check out "The Prestige" by Christopher Priest (which was then adapted into an amazing film!), or even "Interview with the Vampire" by Anne Rice (which was also then adapted into an awesome movie). Maybe check out "Phantom of the Opera" as...

Hi there! I totally know how you feel. I was the exact same with my assessments or exams leading up to year 12. It can be frustrating when you study for an exam or assessment and you feel like you didn't perform as well as you'd like. I can assure you that so many people are in the exact same...

Hey there, just my two cents here, but the main two things I would focus on are colour contrast, and texture. Obviously there's a huge contrast between the black/white/grey of the woman's body/face, and the absolute explosion of colour that is jutting out of her face. There's more techniques...

Hey there - I don't really have anything to link you but from my experience with 2u maths, with trig and log functions, there's no easy way around it - you just have to memorise those formulas. To make things easier, you'll be able to memorise them a lot easier through past papers. I found that...

Yes of course you can study for viewing/listening! I would recommend watching short videos and analysing them, (techniques and effects), as well as hearing speeches and analysing them, but most importantly remembering to link everything back to journeys since it is your AOS. Pretend like the...

Hey there, I think it depends on what subjects you do. I started with 14 (including both english and maths extensions, physics, chem and bio, and music) but I felt like the workload was way too much (with a job/hobbies etc). So I dropped bio (because I found it the least interesting), and...

Hey everyone! Just my two cents... When I came to studying for my actual HSC exams, I found that writing a daily study schedule worked wonders for me (bearing in mind I was a notorious procrastinator). I wrote what exactly I would be doing for each day in the weeks leading up to my HSC exams...

Hi there! Your issues/text details are good, but you haven't created a clear thesis. I'd say, to make it easier for yourself, create a thesis which will be the overarching argument of your entire essay. So perhaps your thesis could be something like "the texts explore how men and women struggle...

Hi! Just my two cents - I think foreign films are a great idea, provided you can do them well. The reason they work so well is that generally, they have much more depth and meaning than films you might see in popular culture, so you can really extract a lot of meaning and symbolism and so...

Hi! Well, to me, studying "smarter" isn't necessarily linked to studying less. I think it's just a matter of knowing where to focus your studying energy when it comes to how well you know the course content. If you are really struggling with s subject, then obviously more understanding of...

When I did my studying and did past papers, I would do them closed book (unless I was super stuck on a question that I had NO clue about), but even then I would mark my paper according to how many questions I genuinely got right using my brain. There's nothing wrong with having open book, as...

Just my 2 cents, but for English, I think knowing your texts really well is key to success, more so than writing essays or rote learning. If you know your texts really well, then you have nothing to "remember" in the exam - you just have to put the information from your brain into essay format...

Hey, this was 100% me in my HSC year too. Actually, this was me from year 10 onwards. I am a coffee drinker though, so I would come to roll call in the mornings with coffee in a thermos to get me going for the school day. Then I'd get home around 3 and sleep til about 4, which is just the right...
