Wow. That's a relief.

What kind of raw mark/percentage in this exam would align to 90% (i.e. if this were a HSC exam)? Obviously this estimation may not be accurate but just a ball-park figure.

Loved questions 1, 2 and 6. Disliked parts of the rest and despised 7. If I can manage 70% I'll be glad. Hopefully minimal silly errors can get me through. I do agree with the people who said it was a relatively easy test. Most of it was straight forward. But under the pressures of a exam...

The paper was intense for me. Perhaps because I don't know the course well enough. Even the early questions threw me and set me up for a shocker of an exam.

Thanks guys. I'm freaking out cause I did the 2007 CSSA Trial Q1 and it was actually quite hard. I need to nail most of Q's 1-4 to have a chance at 50% I reckon. Good luck to you guys too. When are your extension 2 exams?

It's from the 2008 CSSA Trial. 2 (e) The points O, A, Z and C on the Argand diagram represent complex numbers 0, 1, z and z+1 respectively, where z = cos@ + isin@ is any complex number of modulus 1, with 0 < @ < pi. (i) Explain why OACZ is a rhombus. (ii) Show that (z-1)/(z+1) is purely...

Indeed, I simply said synthesised pianos and technological effects. And there were strange technologically manipulated voices in there too.

Oh man I'm dumb.

*Prays for 50%*

I did Music 1 Aural Trial. It wasn't too bad to be honest but I was thrown by a weird arty/technologically manipulated piece. Seems we both dislike questions on art music. Word Painting is when how the song is being sung (concepts of music) matches what is being sung about (lyrics). So if...

Section One was nice. But my argument didn't quite hold up that well. I misinterpreted the concept in the question and used like 1-2 quotes. Section Two was okay. But my intially air-tight structural plan turned upside down as each paragraph turned into a stream of consciousness of multiple...

Section One was okay. Like many of you, I buggered up the irony part. But other than that I was pleased. Then again, Section One is marked quite strictly and I always seem to misinterpret things and have problems with expression. Section Two was very fair. But I choose a stimulus which...

Depends on your school. Ours in 25% (paper 1 10%, paper 2 15%).

Best of luck y'all. Nervousness/anxiety is good if you can control it enough; it means these exams are important to you. :)

So it must also be true that people who miss an exam due to illness, exceptional circumstances, family matters etc will get an estimate based on previous assessments?

I plan to do 'something with numbers' (unintended pun) or music. I would like 98.5 as my ATAR but realistically I think 90-95 would be nice. What about yourself?

12 --> but including extension 2 lessons (if they are on the timetable) 8-9.

You can do it whichever way you please I guess. That's the beauty of English. Both seem logical, choose whichever way feels the most comfortable. Personally I'm more of a concept person - I go for a line of argument/thesis and use the texts to support the ideas I present. I.e. text 1 uses...

Please...

Trials are Week 3. Scared and underprepared. We'll see how I go. Good luck with your exams and the like. Would I be able to have a read of your Extension 2 English major?
