English Advanced Predictions/Thoughts (8 Viewers)

[justletmespeak123]

hey guys, i thought i did well with today's mod c discursive because i had a really good prepared discursive response about storytelling using an extended metaphor. BUT EVERYONE I KNOW DISCUSSED TECHNOLOGY IN SOME WAY, LIKE SOCIAL MEDIA OR THINGS THAT MAKE OUR LIFE EASIER IN A LITERAL SENSE! i

didn't get the memo so i just talked about why stories are important amidst our reality despite it being fiction --> how stories of struggle and inconvinience helped preserve important teachings, oral storytelling, and then added a bit in about how the entertainment values of stories, add convinience and pleasure to our lives so we can escape our reality. and then how stories are at the backbone of our identity idk why i did

i wrote all the pages the gave us but nothing on technology (i wrote tiktok in there somewhere and then crossed it out urgh)

am i screwed? i know i should focus on other subjects and stop worrying but i wanna know my fate

yup you are screwed. I talked about how cars made us lazy physically. But the marker will probably think your idea is "unique" and give you higher marks for some reason.

[rev668]

[appleali]

how do you have all these school trial papers and can get access to hsc papers
are you an omniscient hsc god of some sort

 

[appleali]

83 raw?

yeah i agree similar to last year probs a bit higher, maybe 85 raw

 

[Sillysmellypumpkin]

like 90? what is a b6 cutoff anyway

like what raw exam mark you need for it to scale to a b6 (min 90)

 

[Sillysmellypumpkin]

yeah i agree similar to last year probs a bit higher, maybe 85 raw

yeah I reckon 83-85, hoping for that lower end

 

[henryh2023]

yeah i agree similar to last year probs a bit higher, maybe 85 raw

where do you get the data on this stuff? how do we know what the raws band 6 cut offs were for adv eng and other subjects?

HSC Raw Marks Database – Band 6 Raw Marks

rawmarks.info

That website I think

 

[justletmespeak123]

The teacher of my school fear mongered the low ranking students of English Advanced including me to move to shitty standard with a drop kick cohort, saying that my mark is a band 1. Little do they know its aligned to a band 3 or 4.

LOL what's even the point of putting the paper up on the NESA website at that point

 

[igor9]

I did i talked about the migrant experience which is lowks a bit cliche but i didn't even think of technology. mine was a discussion on the conveniences and inconveniences of both my home country/australia and a lil bit of the going back to basics/roots part. i thought i cooked until the whole world did technology so idk (

exactly my discursive idea too so hopefully we cooked

well it's for future reference, i'd prefer if they don't react them.

sometimes, even years later, they edit them and unreact

 

[justletmespeak123]

Why are there so many language coureses oh my godnesa should not be burning money like its nothing.

 

[justletmespeak123]

We literally are in Australia and speak English here, why examine a foreign language? Plus why are they allowed to count to atar? this is literally the most pointless waste of tax payers money garbage ever.

 

[Devil Warrior]

i pretty much did the same thing its legible, the main part of the stimulus you had to speak to was the part about choosing a path of less convinience, i think i did pretty well but i had too much time on my hands ended up filling out the booklet with a full final page of simlies and wtvr

I did kinda the same thing but focused on identity and going back to the basics. I mentioned Tik Tok like once

i didnt go for technology stuff imo its bait for students who are making stuff on the spot

 

[radagastthebrown]

i didnt go for technology stuff imo its bait for students who are making stuff on the spot

I just completely forgot the stimulus mentioned 'inventions', I just saw convenience and back to basics and went from there
