it's gonna be anticlimactic asf, idk what ur talking about. it fucking always is, unless u immediately do something fun like have a party or smth after it really won't be anything special.
yeah this is pre much it - because everyone doesn't finish on the same day, its not as hype as graduation day. But if there's anything to look forward to, its the massive relief you'll feel when its all over and the weight is off your shoulders.

does anyone have tips on how to get good at short answers? i can recognise techniques and stuff fine but i struggle to find links to the human experience without just repeating myself over and over again
any help would be appreciated

short answer is very straightforward in marking, if you have a technique, evidence and link to your particular take on the question, thats a mark and add that to your brief intro for another mark. the human experience is often in the question so you dont have to make an external mention but a particular take on the question that you will base ur answer off of. hope this makes sense
I have the exact same problem^

You literally just have to read the text and make any connection to how it relates to human experience. Get the vibe of what the text is trying to put out (whether its a longing for the past (nostalgia) or like how does this text capture an intense moment) Write a thesis: "Source A" powerfully conveys the nature of ... through ...." and then go straight into evidence. Normally try do 1 quote + 1 technique per mark to be safe. And for the longer markers where they ask you to talk about 2 sources structure it as a mini essay. The shorties are basically just yarning and if you can find enough quotes and techniques and make a semi convincing argument you'll get the marks

lol someone else just asked this and I gave some advice in a thread on here
honestly i make stuff up tbh, i use some insight ive studied or read about already - youve got to be flexible in that way and practice a lot. In the cssa trial for the humour q i said some dribble abt the stupid kid hiding his true self and that was ironic = humour, basically just stole ideas from my lfr essay. another one i went on about existentialism and nihilism, stole stuff from my ext essay lol

i usually do 1 less technique than the mark required. for ex. a 4 mark question ii would find 3 techniques and clearly identify the human experience and its impact on the individual/community, using it to cohesively develop an argument that progresses towards the end of the response, contributing the last mark. its always good to add on to what the question is saying, like if they were asking about the impact on tragedy on an individual i would say that tragedy is multifaceted, making us believe that there is no hope, yet pushing the individual psyche to grow and prosper in the future (i got 19/20 trial)
