Has your child stepped out of their routine? Are they more muted than usual? Grades declining? They may be suffering from school anxiety.

Module B is the 2nd essay you’ll be writing in paper 2. In this blog, Chloe Zhu (16th in NSW English Advanced 2018) will be guiding you through what makes a Module B essay different, and 5 easy steps to a 20/20 with examples!

Ever looked at the calendar and realised that an assignment or trials is less than 2 weeks away? From Youtube, to Discord, to games then to Instagram, we are always stuck in something that prevents us from completing that task. So how does one go from a procrastinator to a productive pro?

When your child enters High School, it can feel daunting trying to help them with classwork. You may feel unqualified and confused by what they’re expected to do. So how can you, as a parent, help? ‍

Choosing a university to enter is a big venture. There are 43 universities in Australia, with over 22,000 courses to choose from.

Have you ever felt so exhausted from studying English that you just can’t continue?

Have your friends ever breathed down your neck about your marks from that exam?

Time passes very quickly in the HSC. One day you’re back into term 2, and the next day Term 2 is now soon over…which means trials are quickly approaching! How does one prepare for their trials with all of this time? 

Besides the huge ethical violation that is generating an essay to submit using AI technology, is there any truth to this claim?

We’ve all been there. Looking at the piece of paper in front of us with a mark that didn’t meet our expectations as panic seeps into us. Amidst the discordant chatter of how well everyone else besides you did, that horrible feeling haunts you all the way home. This was a feeling I only knew so well during my preliminary years of HSC. So, how does one recover from a disappointing mark?

Discursive writing is possibly the most illusive part of the HSC, with few hard and fast rules, discursive writing is mostly up to the author.

Can you picture it? Long rows of individual desks stretched out across your school gym, papers lying face down, exam invigilators watching as people file in.

So the HSC exams are slowly but surely approaching. Actually, no. They are fast approaching.

Thank you to everyone who joined our English Advanced HSC seminars this weekend!

Concept is running FREE English Advanced seminars to assist students in their studies for the HSC!

In the throes of trial exams, students will inevitably find themselves having to balance multiple things at once, from studying through to revision and doing practice papers. Having gone through the journey myself, I understand the stress and anxiety that comes along in this period.

With the upcoming trial exams for English Advanced looming before us, it's time to refine and improve our essays to make sure we have the very best analysis of our texts.

English Extension 1 gets students to study texts which are undeniably more challenging than those in English Advanced. As such, many run into difficulty when synthesising their understanding of the prescribed text, how it fits into their prescribed elective and how to adapt their appreciation of the work to different questions that might be hauled at them during the exam.

We've all felt that sense of dread as though our life is falling apart, the terrifying epiphany that we have forgotten to submit an assignment on time or even failed to remember that we had to pick something up from the store.
