If you wanna resubmit your essay for remarking then does it require the 5 post count rule?
Hey idk if i'm being dumb and missing the direct link to this hahaha but what do i click on to actually send in my essay for marking??

I can link you! What is the essay for?? ;D ;D ;D
The marking threads are in the board for that subject, EG, the Legal Studies Marking Thread is in the Legal Studies section ;D
It's for my English creative writting on Discovery but i cant seem to find the sections :-\You can submit your creative writing in for marking here.
Don't worry about it! Youre definitely not being dumb! We all started here (quite recently) and me only about a week ago so youre doing a lot better than me :D. As jamon mentioned, the subject marking is in the HSC/VCE subject of your choice under {subject} stuff
I would link some below but AN covers so many topics I wouldnt know which ones you want!
That is a pretty good advertising technique eh???
hi hello! what are the current procedures?It's 15 per extended response, so you can already put one of them up. Literally 2 more (legitimate) posts and you can put the other one up as well
I had my creative looked over the day before paper 1? how many posts do I need to have in order to have another essay/creative marked? (ext English exam on Monday)
many thanks! :)

But didnt op already have a creative looked at paper 1? Which would mean that it would be more? Or was it not really marked? Im confused..
Rui is probably right, I'm tired so dont be alarmed :)

Enter the man with the spreadsheet ;)
You need 30 posts for your next bit of feedback kavinila, so you've met that requirement. If you need to post two then hang around over the next day or two to get yourself up to 45! Won't take long I am sure! ;D
Hey guys,Essays are not "sent" to anyone here. There are threads in each subjects' respective forums that you use to post up your essay for feedback.
Fairly new here and this was something that appealed to me so I just had one quick question!
Once I gather 15 posts I'm eligible for free marking? Could someone tell me who to send my essay into once I do get 15 posts?
Hey guys,

This is awesome! But I just gotta question? Will you guys manage to provide Ancient History marking or PDHPE marking soon or sometime in the future?
Essays are not "sent" to anyone here. There are threads in each subjects' respective forums that you use to post up your essay for feedback.
All that matters is that your 15 posts aren't spam. Otherwise, yes each 15 posts equates to 1 essay eligible to be marked
Oh, okay.
Does that mean that everyone can read my essay when I post it in that particular thread? Additionally, where can I find these threads?
Hey there,
I'm new here and was just wondering if you qualified for post points if you reviewed notes given for free in the notes section?
Also, this seems like a great idea and is really considerate of those who don't have cash to splash around, you know?
Hoping to send some stuff through soon :D
Thank you!
Hey hey! Welcome to the forums! ;D
We are really happy we can do this for you guys ;D thanks heaps for reviewing the notes, but unfortunately we can't count it, purely because there is no easy way to include those reviews in the count without physically going through and checking all of them. The count you need (using me as an example) is the number you see to the left of this text below my display picture!! :)
Haven't heard of much you can do with the website apart from checking that box to the left and keeping up with it. If you use the app you can get notifications for if your post was quoted, and just look at your unread threads.
Ahhh ok, so a long way to go for me haha .. I was just wondering if there was a way that I could be notified if I have been replied to on a post because I had to manually select this post and have a look (which I don't mind having to do) but for future use where I (hopefully) will posting all over the place it would be helpful having some central way to locate all the updates. But overall, this isn't too laborious so I don't mind looking through for myself :)
Thanks again 8)
As in, after one submission, does resubmitting the same essay constitute another 5 posts? Yes it does. The idea there, in addition to the regular rationale of ensuring the service remains useful and accessible, is that it demands you take some time away with the feedback and actively improve the work in every aspect. We'll give detailed feedback, and so you should use it to spend a decent amount of time improving the script. In that time, you can hang around the forums getting up the next 5 posts you need to get it marked again ;D
That was prior to the increased count. It used to be 5 posts per essay altogether, but then the forum became more active and they had to raise the requirements.
Hey Jamon,
Regarding your question on one of the English forums (I'm really sorry, I couldn't find it now to name) asking where I read the 15 post and then 5 post for resubmission policy, it was here. But now I understand it's 15 posts for every essay - thanks for correcting me otherwise I would have just submitted the same essay twice haha.
Thanks again!

Hey, does the free marking work via PM? or posting your essay/creative publicly? If so, have there ever been concerns about work getting copied?I actually had someone PM me before the HSC exam asking if they could use my creative I posted. You know, the creative that I WAS ALSO USING. Shut that one down pretty quick haha.

I don't know the ins and outs of it haha, but I know that if its published online, then teachers also have access to it as well, so if anyone copied someone elses work, it wouldn't be hard for a teacher to find out. A lot of teachers use plagarism checkers, where they just need to type in a few sentences. I'm assuming ATARnotes would pop up in this as well.
Hey there!! Is it possible to PM one of the moderators that moderate English ? For example, Elyse...
You can definitely PM Elyse or myself (click my username and select 'Send Message') if you need to chat about something, but we can't mark your essays privately :)
Ahhh i see! Though, people may plagiarise our essay or ideas... which is why I don't really want to share my publicly for marking.

This was a concern I had as well when I first posted an essay, but remember that a lot of teachers use a plagarism checker. You basically just need to type in a few sentences and hey presto! Your post will come up if someone copied some/all of it.
I would feel pretty damn safe posting an essay on our forums :)
it must be hard for you guys to keep track of how many points people need!
I have a huge spreadsheet with links to everyones profiles, we track it that way ;)
You are short 2 posts for your essay in the Advanced board by the way Chloe! Most of your posts have been super helpful and awesome, so thank you! A few were removed because they were in old threads (you get warned if it is more than a month old) or otherwise considered spam. Don't stress, happens to a lot of people - Basically it prevents people posting just to get stuff marked :)
Hey,
I know I'm kind of late to this party, but I was at the Caufield Expo and one of the guy's working for ATAR Notes told me that I could send in my practice essays to be marked. I'm in VCE, and looking at these posts, I've only seen people from HSC. Do you still grade essays for VCE students as well??
thx thx thx :))))))))))))))))
Hi, I'm just a bit confused as to how many posts are needed to have an essay marked. I new to ATARNotes and I have been reading through the forums and some places I have seen that you need 15 posts and other places I have seen that you only need 5.
I'm late to! I wish I knew about this earlier because i really really appreciate this service you guys offer, itll help me so much hopefully!
This might be a really dumb question, I apologise.
Can I ask if the legitimate posts must be 15 posts collectively for one essay to be marked? Or if its for an english essay I have to post in the english section or legal essay I have to post in the legal?
Hey I'd like to post my creative for marking soon. How many posts do I need to become eligible? I seem to have lost count :)
Hi,You have to weigh up the pros and the cons :)
I would love to use your essay marking service but I am worried about someone copying my essay and plagiarizing it...
Hi,

Could someone please let me know how many more posts I need to have something marked?
Thank you!!
You needed 55 so you are there already! The one after that will need 80 posts ;D
I've posted photos of my short answer onto that thread so If I want a creative I wrote today marked instead, do I take down the short answers?
In honesty, you'll be waiting a few days for feedback on the Creative anyway, you'll probably make the six extra posts you need by then :)

Hey, can someone clarify how much I need left?
with my amount of posts will that count towards two essays being marked? i tried so hard to get to 50 by today so i can post my essays tomorrow 😂
Hey, just another question - are Extension 2 Majors 25 posts as well?
What's the deal with posting handwritten essays? I'm wondering for english mostly. I've been handwriting responses lately because I retain more so just wanted to check. Also, I'm not sure how many posts i'm reading since the post count has changed. Thank you:)
I think you can post photos of them or scan them as long as it's legible. Post count is 25 for an essay/creative.
Hey!
The post count has been increased to 50 per essay :)
Damn, I was gonna upload my essay thinking the post count was 25, oh well, lucky I saw this before I accidentally broke the rules haha
Anyone able to check how many I've got left? Joined when the post count 15 or something and now it's 50 aha, completely understand though.
If you get to 505, you'll qualify for seven essays marked :)
Yeah, purely out of necessity - We literally just couldn't keep up if the count was lower (and even this could be a stretch) ;)
For when we submit our essays for marking - do we do so by posting them here or personally emailing them to you? Just asking because I'd prefer not to post and then be caught up on plagiarism if the HSC markers do an internet search of some sentences ahahaha
ahhh I see that makes sense. Could you possibly check if I qualify for having an essay marked as well?
Hi,
I was wondering on how to answer this question: "How effective are statutory and judicial guidelines as a means of achieving justice?" and what cases I will need
Hi,
I was wondering on how to answer this question: "How effective are statutory and judicial guidelines as a means of achieving justice?" and what cases I will need
R v Loveridge -> catalyst for mandatory sentencing for 'king hits'
R v Jacboson -> catalyst for mandatory life sentences for murdering a police officer
Not sure about judicial guidelines, though you could mention the case of R v Singh and his successful provocation defence, which set up a very exploitable precedent. Judges are then expected to follow this precedent, thus creating a culture of blaming the victim for the actions of the accused
EDIT: But yeah, from now on try to keep questions in their respective thread
So just to confirm, we have to do 50 posts on this website to get one essay marked?
So if I were to get an English essay marked I have to comment/create posts that are only English related?
ATTENTION!
All the English marking threads will be locked at midnight on Wednesday - Feedback submitted after that point would be received right before the exam, and it wouldn't be helpful to you!! So, we're setting the deadline so we can guarantee the list is clean by the start of the weekend, letting us focus on last minute questions :)
(All other threads will remain open!) :)
Extension 1 too?
What's better/easiest for you guys? A link to a Google drive, an attachment or just copy and paste the essay in?
Okay Thank you.
Is Module A, Richard III and Looking for Richard okay?
Sorry so if I've already posted an essay on the old Adv End modules only essay marking, will I have to repost or will I still receive feedback in that thread?
Hi there, since the HSC eng exam is over is the post requirement still 50?
Hello~
If I have accumulated enough posts, is it possible for someone to mark my creative please? It's not exactly done and I'm honestly struggling. Its sorta a mix of hopefully descriptions (although they're most likely telling rather than showing) and jumbled together. Any ways to make this story more sophisticated? Thank you to whoever marks this!!
Afternoon! I have constructed a draft discover essay assessment introduction, and was hoping to receive any feedback! Please give as many pointers as possible! The question is ' ''Catalysts to discovery may be unplanned, but the consequences are unplanned. Do you agree?'' Evaluate the Prescribed Text and one Other Related Text to support your viewpoint.'
- Driven by the unknown, discoveries become most meaningful when underpinned with emotional involvement and erudite understanding. These elements work to intensify individual experiences amidst changes of environment and the imposition of the unfamiliar. The catalysts to such discoveries may be planned, as observed in Ivan Mahoney’s multimedia ‘Go Back To Where You Came From’, or unplanned and serendipitous, as seen in Kate Chopin’s short story, ‘The Story of an Hour’. Yet despite personal foresight and assumption, the consequences of discovery remain perpetually unplanned, bearing the potential to be far-reaching and deeply transformative of one’s perspective.
Hi, when you say 5 posts, firstly, does that mean 5 posts answering other peoples essay questions and queeries, and secondly, where do I find these to start posting?

A quick question about marking times - if I post my creative around tomorrow or Thursday, when can I expect to get feedback (both forum members and moderator / admins)? Also if a forum member gives me feedback on my work, can I still get feedback from moderators? :D
How Does This Section Work?
This section aims to be a one stop shop for feedback on any HSC response, for any subject. Be it a Creative writing piece, a Legal Studies essay, a long response for HSC Physics - You can post it here and get some feedback to help you improve it.
Let's face it - Usually the feedback we get from teachers is, well, not quite helpful. A correction of grammar here, a "More detail" there. Sometimes it is pretty clear they haven't even read the whole thing. Often we come away from the feedback with more questions that we had to begin with! And hey, if your overworked teach has 150+ posts to mark over a weekend, you can't really blame them. This section aims to rectify that feedback and supplement it with something better and more detailed.Click here to post your response as a new topic in this board.
Use the convention: "[SUBJECT]: [ESSAY TOPIC]", for example, "English Advanced: Mod A Essay" or "English Standard: Great Gatbsy" or "Legal: Crime Essay!", or similar. Just something that makes it easy for people to see what your response is about!Who Gives the Feedback?
Well, it's your peers! Or tutors. Or graduates. Our awesome ATAR Notes community. Anyone is welcome to give feedback on any response at any time - Ultimately every little piece of help is going to make you better. We strongly encourage everyone, no matter how "good" you think you are at a given subject, to help your peers and get help in return. Collaboration is the best way to learn!
Some of our moderators are expert markers. Literally, they've marked hundreds of responses for students over several years and helped all of them improve their marks. Our moderators will sit down with your essay for a solid half an hour, reading every line and giving you detailed comments throughout about what works, and what doesn't. We'll give you suggestions about how to improve it, and link you to any awesome resources on the site that we think will help you make the response fantastic.
This feedback has already helped hundreds of students boost their marks. Here is what one user said:
We just got our half yearly results back for our discovery paper 1 and I really just want to say thank you so much, because my discovery essay got 20/20!! Although I really did luck out with the question (It was "Discoveries can offer new understandings and renewed perceptions of ourselves and others. - Discuss" or something with that rubric line) I really wouldn't have been able to write anything to get that mark without your help!! English has been an endless struggle for me, and you've seriously really helped me. I cried like a baby for a few minutes (let me paint you a picture - 2 classes packed into one room, me, on the floor, crying. yep.)How do I get my essay marked by a moderator?
The detailed feedback provided by our moderators takes a long time. Thirty minutes to an hour... Hypothetically, if someone were being paid $30 an hour, that's a cost of $15 per essay, at least. That's how much you should be valuing the essay marking. It's not a 'cheap' or less valuable service just because it's free. Remember that. Our moderators like giving feedback as a just and rightful reward for those helping us grow. Our way of saying thank you.
This said, we don't have unlimited amounts of time to devote to marking, so we have a post exchange policy to make sure the most deserving members of the community get that feedback:Every 30* posts on ATAR Notes merits you one essay/response marked by a moderator.
In other words, if you've made 150 posts, you're entitled to have five of your essays marked. If you've made 300 posts, you're entitled to 10 of your responses marked. You get the idea... Essay marking isn't just for everyone. It is for those who are a part of the community, engaging with the community and helping us make the forums a cooler and more helpful place for all :)
Note: These posts have to be real, actual contributions. It is very obvious when you are just posting the bare minimum to cheat the system, just to access this service. That's not what this is about, and people doing that ultimately take up time we could be spending marking and ruin the system for everyone else.
This is about rewarding contributions to the community - This includes asking questions, answering questions, engaging in discussion, contributing resource. Shit posts like "thanks", "haha", "wow", "this is a good one", "this is helpful" do NOT contribute, and we'll ignore those posts or delete them as necessary. 30 posts might seem like a lot, but trust us - If you get involved in discussion, it builds up faster than you'd think! :)
Once you have enough posts, to get an essay marked, just post it in this section as normal, and include a little request to have a moderator mark it! We'll let you know if you are eligible and get you feedback asap. You might even get feedback from your peers as well!
Ultimately, you guys drive this system. We want everyone to be posting their responses, everyone to be giving and receiving feedback, and the people who do that the most will accrue the required posts and be rewarded with the additional feedback from our moderators/lecturers. It's a totally community driven initiative.What subjects have free essay marking?
You can ask for feedback for any subject you like, and hopefully one of your peers can help! If you are after feedback from a marker, we can help with:
- English Standard/Advanced
- English Extension 1
- English Extension 2
- Business Studies
- Modern History, Ancient History and History Extension
- Legal Studies
- Studies of Religion
- Visual Arts
- Drama
The old marking threads have been moved to a read only archive - Feel free to have a browse right here :)Thanks for reading and getting involved! If you have any questions about essay marking, post them below!
Hi i'm new here!Hey, and welcome!
i would like to know how many posts would be needed for me to get my creative/essay marked
thanks!
Hey, and welcome!yea..i just had the english exam today..but will they change the post counts after the exam period?
At this stage, mainly because it is not too close to exam period, post it anyway! You'll definitely get some form of feedback - if you specifically want a mod to look at it, specify that, and you may have to wait a few days. If you need it really quick, I'm sure someone will be able to look at it.
Basically, post it anyway, someone will look at it, if you want deeper/more extensive feedback you may have to wait a few days.
;D ;D

i haven't posted anything yet..so i don't think i can get my stuff marked..right?
Yea, usually the post count changes before an exam period - usually trials or HSC.so i can can just make a post named creative? and they will have a look at it?
You can definitely get something marked! The post count is to get something marked by a moderator, but even if you don’t have enough posts and post an essay, your peers can look over it for you. :-)
so i can can just make a post named creative? and they will have a look at it?
Hi, sorry to be a pain but where can I find the place to post english extension one esays?
