Thoughts: CSSA English Paper 1 (1 Viewer)

[CloudDeter]

I screwed this exam really badly.
Comprehension was alright, except not enough time to do the last question. Question (c) was a little hard to understand.
FOr creative writing I used the picture of the family on their mobile phones. I think the quality of my story was terrible.
My essay...well I didn't have enough time to finish it.

TL;DR: I'm screwed for this exam.

Great essay question, although didn't take advantage of it. Creative story was ok, forgot about images and had to try and integrate it! Did pretty bad in the short answer, didn't analyse anything well, better luck in the modules!

 

[girlworld_club]

prepared essay = question of exam. bazingaaa!

Test went OK. I started with Section 2, then to Section 1 and 3.

Section 1: Was OK, expect to get average marks. But ill definitely lose marks in the Text 3 question and question (e). Overall, not too bad.
Section 2: Wonderful. My story was integrated quite well with the picture of the family looking over the beach. Didn't heavily integrate picture to story too much, but it did show strong elements.
Section 3: I had a pre-prepared essay, which fit in perfectly. BUT I forgot my related text paragraphs, so I had to vaguely make them from scratch .

Overall not bad test, now to prep for Module B. GL every1!

I spent five minutes planning on my extended (getting down quotes/ideas etc.) ...fucked me up for the rest of the sections
haha I swear ive never written so fast in my whole life

Essay question was great XD. 40 mins
Creative was alright. Used the fish one and had to try and weave the metaphor through- 35 mins.

Short answer. Yuck. Definitely took longer than 40mins and I will lose marks on the mini-essay :/

Oh well good luck for modules everyone!

If they specified ONE related text for this Paper, does that mean they will also specify one for tomorrows? Is there a correlation with this and past years?

 

[talulahbay]

i thought the creative writing images where waay to limiting! But in was happy with the essay question and the unseen texts especially the last poem!

 

[kewon]

nothing is certain but maybe theres a higher chance of 2 related texts in module c since its quite unlikely for them to ask 2 for both AOS and mod c

 

[spanky125]

Comprehension was alright
Creative stimulus totally stumped me, couldn't figure out how to put my story I wanted into it.
Essay question worked well with my ORT

Better pepper my angus for tomorrow!

I really liked the paper. Did it chronologically, 6/6/6 pages.
The first and fourth texts in S1 were a gift!

Pretty fucked for modules though.

[NWO]

Didnt know so many schools had trials today.
Section I) wrote too much for a 5 mark question. Spent 40 mins instead of 20m.
section II) WTF. Somehow i wrote full 2 pages which took 40 mins... full of descriptions tho. gonna fail for quantity
sectin III) 2.5 pages used- had 10min left for related. at least i had a conclusion. Other students didnt finish by writing 4 pages.
bye uni, hello tafe

it can't be that bad, and you have paper 2 tomorrow...

so don't dwell on the past, and this goes to everyone; whether you did well or not is irrelevant, MOVE ON and do your best

 

[NWO]
