    How many pages

    8/9/6.5 I write on average 6-7 words per line. Is that a bad amount? Arghh im worried i didn't write enough but then again i remember its quality over quantity? Someone reassure me.

    raw marks for band 6?

    Yeah i spose aerath could be right. First year of new AOS + texts in modules, could mean the avg score is lower and hence a lower score could achieve higher scaled mark. Heres to hoping?

    I'd say about 88/105 would grab a 90.

    richard III

    Talked to my mum about this who is Head of English at her school. Basically i said that shakespeare frames Richards ambitions using language (obviously) and focuses on his quest for an identity (to become king), talked about first soliloquy, anne neville scene and the richard + buckingham scene...

    Do you lose marks for having 2 related texts?

    You're stupid. Beyond belief. The question said one, therefore they must have collectively decided that they will mark up to and only the one extra text. If they wanted two then they would have said two, ya dig?

    Estimate what you got and how many pages?

    You're school is a small sample size in comparison to the rest of the state. You don't know that, and just quietly those who will get a 90+ will more than likely get 14/15 in more than one section.

    Do you lose marks for having 2 related texts?

    If you're too stupid to read the question you don't deserve anything above 13 maximum. Enough said. Also if they DO mark the second text that disadvantages every other person who did one.

    Would these answers be ok??

    Also for the 5 marker i talked about the connections people make with places and compared the similarities between text 3 and 4. People value 'space' or 'landscape' etc.

    Would these answers be ok??

    Me too. Also use of simile in where she wears the landscape like a coat. Suggests closeness and also gives the impression that she owns it and belongs to it. Text 4 was pretty much emotive language like the happiness experienced by that one person, suggests they are happy with 'home' which...

    ENGLISH tomorrow.. how do you prepare...

    Yeah no way could you flesh out a detailed story that has complexities and resolutions and what not in 2 pages. Try for 800+ words or around 5-6 pages in a HSC exam book. Good luck tommorow everyone.

    creative writing

    Unless you include incredibly sophisticated language in your writing and you have 'flair' then you will never achieve 14-15. It's just how it works. You should be happy with a 12, most people can't get above 10s and 11s. Creative writing is the place where i feel most top students lose marks, i...

    Will they specify a particular poem?

    If they do i will literally rain a firestorm down on their ass and they will need a binding resolution from the U.N to keep me from fucking them up.
