    Human Story Option

    I thought thats what it said as well? Explain how the presence of aferensiensis (or whatever it was) can support the out of africa theory OR the regional continuity theory... I thought it was asking for us to explain how and why it can support both, not pick one and support it. Oh well...

    did everyone just bs in that!!??

    Why would you need to BS for the 8 mark question if you remembered the postulates? 4 marks for remembering Koch's four postulates, the other four marks for relating them all to the question.

    Human Story Option

    A lot of people from my grade had the same problem... Many knew what it was for the 1 mark question, but had no idea about the 5 marker.

    What have you learned about yourself during hsc?

    I learnt nothing. I already knew I was a lazy bastard.

    software design

    It was so easy it screwed me up. I laughed at it in reading time like "This will be a breeze." Then I was just sort of cruising through it, next thing I knew I had half an hour left and still hadn't done the option or a few 5 mark Qs I left out. Lucky the option was easy, so I could go back...

    Health of Young people

    I think most people had trouble with that option. For me, they were the hardest two questions in the exam, since I didnt get to study health of young people at all pretty much. I SKIPPED the social action question. If I had time, I would have BSed some crap, but I read it and just went, K...

    HSC Advanced English as a course.

    OK, so now we've finished it. What did you think of Adv. Eng.? To me it seemed incredibly flawed, and mostly useless. The only useful part of it was studying the effect that context has on a text. The rest is meaningless babble, and to go well you have to regurgitate exactly the same...

    I went against it. -_-

    Paper 2 Distaster Stories...

    Yeah, what was the deal with that question? If I agreed with it it would have gone against my logic, and I would have felt like I was arguing something illogical. How did Lear even have enduring power? He didn't endure shit, he had a huge cry, went insane, and found solace in his only...

    Paper 2 Distaster Stories...

    Well, that sucked. Immensley. I wrote two pages for King Lear, and all it was was me going against the question then talking about one scene instead of two because I ran out of time. Comparative Study of Texts was my decent one, but still pretty crap. Frontline, I ran out of time and...

    Suicide

    She's alright. The ones that need peace and condolences are the people that are affected by her death.

    Quality over Quantity

    I think I used about 4 pages for section I... Maybe those 12+ page people started each question on a new page? Still, thats a fair bit.

    Advanced English scaling

    To what people have been saying about the adv. course: BS... The advanced course is terrible. How can an english course focused around trying to say the right things to please your marker by "analysing" (a) complex text(s) through a narrow scope and writing about it in 40 mins, possibly be...
