Is a source analysis necessary during the introduction of an ancient history essay (Personality 25 and Period study 25)? My teacher, who worked for HSC marking at one point maintains it is a good idea due to the fact that it makes it look better, but it is certain that it is not needed...

Hello, I was wondering if someone knows extra content that wasn't studied (From their own extensive reading) and features it in their essay, does it have a significant impact on the marks they can get (mainly humanities and history subjects)? Cheers

Hey, Since I started in high school, the idea of having a topic sentence at the start and link at the end of a paragraph (for essays) has been drained into me for all subjects so I can respond to the question . However as time has gone on the paragraphs have gotten larger, and now in year 12...

I'm confused how to take notes properly. My classmates seem to know more than me, and especially in subjects like history I do everything the teacher tells me to do, but I feel like I don't have enough knowledge to get full marks in my essays. I was recently wanting to get more knowledge, which...

What are: Physical, Intellectual, Spiritual, Emotional discoveries?

If so how?

I write short stories well, but my ideas are criticised. I am told by my teacher that the idea is too basic (someone selling their home - struggling through that - this was for journey last year). I feel like since it is basic it can be adapted well. Should I adopt a more sophisticated idea...

Is it necessary to know every detail of all the historians we study in the ext his course? When are we going to be asked about their life and works? Would it be better (from what i've understood) to just write about their effect on history, their approach and opinion on history, and what...

How and where do I find a case study? I see many case studies that people have done have lots of information on them, but where do they get this all from? I preferably want to do a real estate case study, but where can I find information on such a business?

Hi, I currently do 2U maths, and have dropped from ext 1 maths. Last year (year 10) I did very well in maths, getting around 80-90% in exams on average. Now, this year I got 83%, 63% and now 65% in my exams. I try very hard and spend most of my time doing maths (one of the hardest and most...

How do I take notes that are enough to show that I have understanding higher than most students (HSIE subjects) for essays etc, but so that I'm not taking too many that I can remember? How do I balance it?

Hey, I'm doing extension history, and I was wondering what the differentiating factor was in Extension History. What makes you stand out, and what things get you high marks (both in projects and exam essays)? Thanks

Is it necessary to have a well developed character in HSC Short Stories to get top marks?

I've had it for about a year and the Casio occasionally FX-82 Plus II occasionally fades, with the numbers being harder to see. I haven't treated the calculator badly or anything. I have an exam coming up soon so I'm wondering if it is going to quit on me during the exam.

I am planning to do a story where a soldier scrambles across a river in a boat, being shot at etc, and he goes through hell. Showing how journeys are tough. The main character acts strong, but deteriorates as he goes across. I'm going to be really detailed with the senses. BTW, if you can't...

I am going to do Ext His in Year 12. I currently do Modern and Ancient, and a total of 12 units (going to drop 1 u for ext his) Is Ext His worth the struggle? And since I'm a history fanatic, will it help me get a higher atar (does it scale well etc) What are the positives and negatives? My...
