What is HSC Scaling?

There are many questions surrounding subject scaling, so we decided to bust some common myths about how marks are scaled.

Interpreting English

Since year 7, you have learnt that interpreting English texts means analyzing how their techniques create effects, including meaning and emotional impact.

Imagine you’re answering Question 1: Question 1: How does Ezra Pound’s In a Station of the Metro represent the experience of urban life in the early twentieth century? (2 marks)

Pound, In a Station of the Metro The apparition of these faces in the crowd; Petals on a wet, black bough.

For a short response question like this, you need to do two things:

  1. Answer the question
  2. Provide one piece of evidence supporting your answer per mark.

You need to analyse the evidence using the TEE structure: technique, example, effect.
