English Advanced 2005 HSC Paper (2 Viewers)

[cataleptic]

I'd say easier, 3 essays.

Yeah, definetly easier. We've had such a good run so far, it's awesome. I hope the rest follow suit.

Uhh how did I go? I'm pretty sure I killed Modules B and C. Frontline and KL. WW/M I'm not too sure on. I mean I did pretty well with it but i could have done a bit better. It's my weakest area.

I hate that everyone is saying that they wish they had studied more.
I studies everything and had ridiculous amounts of crap to put in in reference to all questions, it was because of that that i did so badly. I ran out of time, i paniced, and as a result i wrote only 25 pages of integrated garbage that trailed off onto way too many tangents. On the plus side, a mate of mine who killed her subjects last year said that upon speaking to markers, they said they have 6 minutes per essay to mark, she said they read the intro and conclusion, and by then if they havent decided what band it falls into then they skim the body, if this is true i may be lucky, if not im fucked and la trobe here i come.

[switchblade87]

I don't think I did that well, but I am happy that English is over FOREVER!!1!11!

 

[rnitya_25]

I'm just so bloody damn glad that they were ALL essays!!!!!!!!!! soo ecstatic....man i was freaking that there'd be a transcript. board of studies....im actually prasing you for once!

i wrote 6 booklets in total doing king lear, frontline and emma/clueless. it was good..im quite happy.

 

[hscvictim]

It was OK

I dunno if i went all that well..

i wish we knew exactly wat the markers are looking for. .. the questions were so broad that the answers are going to be so so different! ?
I just hope i wrote watever it is they were wanting to see.

Happy that it is over ! but still one unit of english to go (ext1)
and RE tomorrow... makes me want to cry

Emma/Clueless = gay, gay, gay! I forgot the acronym to remember my quotes.
King Lear = Alright, did anyone else do a conversation type thing?
Frontline = Forgot to learn (this morning ) info. for my other related text so I made up everything including the writer's name; the other ORT was also half made up because I couldn't remember anything for it.

Oh yeah, im goooone!

 

[goan_crazy]

I reckon that 2005s Adv english paper is the best since the new HSC
what do u guys reckon
they've never had all 3 essays before!

 

[rnitya_25]

yeah i know eh joe! we were all getting freaked that this was gonna be a comlete killer because of the easiness of aos.......but it was amazingly good! most of us must be happy with the way they set it.

 

[rnitya_25]

They r prob gonna mark really hard though if everyone found it okay

yeah that's true...unfortunately. dayam! :worries:

 

[goan_crazy]

They r prob gonna mark really hard though if everyone found it okay

 

[(O_o)]

yeh i agree t'was a generally good exam wif all essays i was soooo freaking there wud be a transcript or interview but yeh wasnt TOO happy bout the three poems thing and i totally screwed up my time management hence my harwood section was veRy rushed and crap cos i was havin a mental blank panicking

but the other two (frontline and emma/clueless) were fantastic as they fitted exactly into what i i wrote in pre-prepared essays

yay eng advanced is OVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[rnitya_25]

i agree, the band 6 sample essay i memorised for emma/clueless fitted really well into today's qustion, and the esay i prepared and got marked for king lear was helpful too......kudos to memorising

 

[misfit_87]

I did:

Module A: transformation - Emma and Clueless
Module B: Harwood
Module C: Powerplay- Antony and Cleopatra

I think this exam was really good. They didn't ask for any hard formats which was great and what I was worried about. Essays were easy and the questions were broad and easy to answer with the content I had prepared for each of my modules.

I wrote 7 pages for each one but ran out of time for my conclusion on powerplay.

The essays I prepared fit in with the questions too

Fingers crossed for results now.

 

[goan_crazy]

Rafy, once uv scanned it
post it up here in this thread as u secured the 2nd position
i mean 3rd*

 

[vwola]

i found the exam alright....but the bloody King Lear question i had no clue what that was about dammit screwed.

The BOS are either very very good ppl and let us off this year, or theyre too lazy to think of anything "creative", and the markers probably cant hack marking all sorts of text types anymore lol.

Either way, we got off the hook woot wooot!!!
