    Who owns their own home?

    people actually do this. i was driving through wellington with my aunt a few years ago and she pointed out all these cargo crates stacked on a hill. apparently some guy lived there. he'd really made it liveable too, had cut windows into the side and light and everything!

    Australia (2008)

    I'm seeing Quantum of Solace today hopefully. Australia looked a bit too corny for my likes. I'll wait for the DVD

    Scaling of raw marks

    so i can i hope for a 92 with a raw mark of about 82/120? I screwed this one up massively massively, was a bit upset for several days, was actually too afraid to look on BOS to read what everyone's saying. But it's good to know heaps of other people had problems with it as well

    This is so sad :(

    what the hell. that's the stupidest thing I ever read. "Drain on community's resources"? When the guy is like the most important medical services provider in the town?

    Sections III, IV : Extended Response

    yarr, I thought they could've been a lot worse. I did the exchange rate appreciation one and the fiscal policy one, kindof ran out of time on fiscal policy although it was still pretty long and comprehensive so hat's ok.

    General Thoughts - Economics

    Alright I thought, although there seemed to be a much heavier emphasis on "real world" knowledge than on any of the theory. Eg. the globalisation questions in the short answers and the fact that all the extended responses directed you to talk about something in relation to the Australian...

    Section II : Short Answer

    Oh I'm so relieved I just went over my case study last night as a last thought...and there ended up being a short answer on it... For the TNC question, I said it increased Poland's productivity and development levels through increasing levels of FDI. For the strategy one, I talked about Human...

    are people who are ambidextrous, smarter?

    Re: are people who are both handed tend to be smarter? One of my aunts had a brain tumour when she was about 10, the operation that removed it did something to the part of her brain which controls the left side of her body. She can still walk and pick up things etc, but lost use of fine-motor...

    FAQ-King Lear

    yep. My English Adv teacher was a KL marker last year...has been giving us speeches all year about how hsc markers can "spot a pre-prepared essay from a mile away", the more specific questions are trying to pick out people who can really engage with the texts. although I suspect that most people...

    Is anyone using already prepared essays?

    yes, agreed. The biggest problem lies in the nature of the tasks that we are set. They do not test what they are supposed to test

    Subject Help

    not by hsc, by uac, don't worry. The HSC marks in the table correspond to the actual marks you will see on your transcript - ie. the mark and band you got in that subject. The UAC "scaled marks" are number not shown to anyone except to the UAC. They are used for no other purpose than to...

    Is anyone using already prepared essays?

    agreed. this is the stupidity of hsc english. it breeds kids with the physicality to speed-write essays and comparatively disadvantages people who try to show the spontaneous creative and analytical skills that english is all about. plus a lot of the top-ranked english students in my year are...
