If the assessor was the author of that study guide they may know but otherwise please just relax it’s now over and we are almost free :)

The author was my tutor who is also a friend. He told me that a commercial tutoring company asked for his resources and he gave them his essays and they included it on their study guide. I did alter it tho obviously since it was a different prompt

a weaponized ikea chair:
Does a simile have to have like or as? I looked it up but couldn't find a clear definition.

I got into a debate with a friend over whether "he seemed to move like a tiger" was a simile. I argued it was a simile since it directly compared two things, but my friend says it wasn't.

Any insight into this?

Hey guys!

This might be a weird question..
But does anyone who studied ‘The Lieutenant’ (Kate Grenville) this year have any useful notes or analysis they could provide as a helpful resource?
Thanks!

Dear all upcoming Year 12 students,
If you’re worried about English, don’t be. It can’t be worse than being ranked 2-3 in a cohort of 100 students and then bringing them all down by getting an A on the exam 🥴

You weren't the only one... our cohort was smaller, but I was ranked first.... I suspect I pulled down a good many of my classmates. :-\

Dear all upcoming Year 12 students,
If you hate English, work at it. Truly. Halfway through the year - despite absolutely loving one of my texts, Pride and Prejudice (absolutely recommend), I was still adamantly refusing to do essays or really any work for English. Then I began to try and do the weekly essays the teacher set.
And I found that actually, I enjoyed writing essays, seeing the small connections everyone else seemed to have missed. Polishing my prose until it was sharp and focused. Writing an essay without redundancy and in a set time.
English was very disliked. But turning around and enjoying it halfway through the year, liking to write, to improve, completely changed everything.
I suppose I could go back and look at how not changing anything would've changed my study score and ATAR. At a rough estimate, I would've got possibly 35 - rather than 40 - as a study score, dropping my aggregate five points.
My ATAR would have gone from 85.00 to 82.15. And if - as mine is - your ATAR is on the dicey edge of might get in, might not, it's absolutely worth that extra time and effort.
And in the process, you might even learn to enjoy it.
