It's really hard to say right now, but I think I may not have done as well as I could've. I only got mother/child, not mother/daughter unfortunately. You?
Oops, I did the same, I didn't think it was that important to specify the gender of the offspring - Plus, it could have been a sperm right? We hadn't seen an indicator that sperm couldn't be depicted as that?

so i asked my bio teacher and she said that the direction of the semicircle may indicate that its the egg cell and not the sperm but istg if the marking criteria is that specific.... 💔 bc i did the exact same as u guys 😭

They'll make it that specific probably, since the test was fairly easy. RIP

Though a couple people in my class thought they were twins, which is... funny to think about

if u rlly wanna glaze urself use this one (you have to make a copy) made by someone on BoS! the hope it gives is insane

but dw you don't do raw marks for most ATAR calculators!! (apart from the one above)
wait what do u put in ur raw marks for this??? does it give u the atar based on ur raw marks, no alignment/scaling taken into consideration??

yes this uses rawmarks data from 2022 to predict aligned marks and then uses hsc scaling graphs to calculate so it’s not exactly accurate unless you put in your marks for 2022 exams but it can be used to estimate the rough atar
but seeing as 2022 was mostly on the difficult side that’s why ppl have reported that the calculated atar with this is an ego boost

Why is everyone so afraid for eext 1 i feel like its a very straightforward exam. the first section is the only really scary part because we could get a:

1. discursive, and depending on the question, we will use our literary theorists in the analysis, or not. most of the time that hinges on whether its a more theory-based stimulus or a fiction stimulus. regardless all you need to study for this part is 3 or so literary theorists, and some good quotes from each of them. my class does shady cosgrove, terry eagleton, and langston hughes. If we don't get literary theorist-based questions, then there's nothing we can do to study, but studying your theorists will still aid in your writing.

2. imaginative, and if you have a versatile imaginative based on your assessment task you'll be fine. most of the time the actual stimuli is very broad, usually descriptive, so just do a lot of worldbuilding (but not too much) in this part.

3. reflection, but we will only get one if we get a creative and there's virtually nothing we can do to prepare for this part. we have to write the reflection based on how the stimulus affected our writing or whatever. so there's nothing to do.

for the section 2 essay there isn't much to prepare for besides having a pretty versatile concept. my school does Worlds of Upheaval, and i specifically chose gendered upheaval because i don't think a lot of people do it, and then i did Frankenstein, Metropolis, and the original blade runner. you just need to know the contexts of your texts intimately and weave the contexts throughout. know your evidence and connect to form very explicitly in each paragraph... eg. science fiction novel, draw on science fiction themes... supremacy over nature... biblical allusion/subversion in the form of the monster and his bride. blah blah blah. im predicting/praying for an imaginative with maybe a reflection (but its a bit nerve wracking because there's no way to prepare) and an essay question about context
