Re: Top 200 Schools - Daily Telegraph Holy shit, my school dropped from 73 last year to 142 this year. Fail :( At least we're still in the top 200? But shiiiit.

Meh, I'm scared too. I hate this feeling - on Dec 17th I'm going to feel so anxious. -_- Stupid HSC. :(

Definitely, we did Skull for a couple of weeks but decided to take another supplementary text Chinatown, which was so, SO much better. Skull Beneath the Skin has to be the worst crime fiction text I've ever read. It's so boring, God. :P

Seriously? I love it. I think it's because the Core Texts (Big Sleep and Real Inspector Hound) as well my the supplementary (Chinatown chosen by teacher, A Time To Kill chosen by myself) are interesting in that they aren't fully formulaic and the entire essays were about how they subverted...

I'm doing two prescibed texts (The Big Sleep and The Real Inspector Hound) and two supplementary texts (Chinatown and A Time to Kill). I needa get my brain juices flowing again - but the concepts and framework I've got a fairly strong indication of. Just need to remember the specifics - quotes...

Well the trend was about the values and influences of context before, but harder ones would require you to focus on specific asepcts (e.g. mystery and discovery). The basic idea is to manipulate your intro, essay, topic sentences, argument and points around the keywords to show your...

Seriously doubt there'll be a question about the forum this year, they had that in '06. :/ I hope it's not too specific >_>. Quite sure the last Q (15 mark one) will be about conservations issues or ethical issues though, since the other two topics were covered in the prev. 2 years. :) My...

Destiny Lane - Bliss n Eso atm. They're the shit, belieeeeve that.

Same here, I hope that my other sections will balance it out. We still have Paper 2 .. :)/:(

I had some today before business exam. Feel you on the need to piss...OMG lol. It was pretty bad.

Same here, pretty much.
