I think me and f7eeting have it the worse right here. Everyone else has such easy half yearlies bruh. My half yearlies are basically prelims all over again

Lol yeah I also have like half yearlies that range from 45 mins to 1 hr 30 but none going for 2 hrs

I never figured out how to shorten Crime essays, so instead of 6 pages, they were 8 pages. And for some reason, my Consumer essays were always the longest. I wrote 9 pages for Consumers topic.

Does anyone know how Crime essays are meant to be 6 pages? I don't do the HSC of course anymore, but just curious. Because the marking guidelines are exactly the same (generally).

do you know any good cases to research in relation to writing an essay on this point of the themes and challenges section of the crime syllabus?

bruh I have to do the math std task 1 exam a week after ny half yearlies which is such a drag and for some reason I feel like fainting now. So I have 2 math exams and there basiclaly the same omds and it's on the same day my DT thing is due

 

[Study to success]

why did they warn you so late I get 2 weeks' notice but next week you can't do anything

no it's in like 3 weeks but its' after half yearlies which is such a drag because hte content is basically the same so I have to do 2 math exams

 

[Study to success]

no it's in like 3 weeks but its' after half yearlies which is such a drag because hte content is basically the same so I have to do 2 math exams

literally if they could give it to me on like thu I would be fine with it cause it's on trig, simultaneous equations, financial which I already know and is also in my half yearlies

 

[Study to success]

I better get like full marks on this task. But now I have to grind math for an extra week omg

 

[Study to success]

are ur half yearlies next week so its like 2 weeks and 1 day

no like 2 weeks and 6 days or smth like that. It's on the 30th of march

 

[Study to success]

At least it won't take up a great deal of time

I wanna ask if I can do it during the second week of exams cause I have no exams but the other girls in my class probably do and they probably can't make us do it on seperate days

 

[Study to success]

I don't see any reason they would have to deny moving it forward

no but if they move it forwards it's during our exam block which means they have to find a day where the other girls in my class don't have an exam. I might talk with them tho and then my teacher. I wanna do it on the monday after sor

 

[Study to success]

Oh, lol I didn't think of that, it's not very common that one asks for their exam to be moved forwards.

yeah but it's just that my half yearlies math exam is on the 20th and I dont' wanna wait a whole 10 days to do it cause if I do it earlier, the content will still be fresh in my mind from the half yearly exam

These helped me a lot. The cases suit the syllabus dot point well from these essays.

R v SLD, R v Loveridge are some cases that I think work well here. R v Pham (was it?) A Crim R 128. R v (something here - can't remember) A Crim R 112 from 1991.

thanks a lot!
Also in the actual HSC will they actually test us stuff from the themes and challenges section. Like I get how its basically the overview of the importance of why we are learning the crime core in lst but it isn't exactly a syllabus dot point (I would think). So, should I expect it to see it in the Multiple choice/Short Answer/extended response section?

 

[aaliya]

why did they warn you so late I get 2 weeks' notice but next week you can't do anything
