[NWO]

[Amaranth_]

Exam overall was good!
Went smooth threw the paper.
Section 1 was alright not to hard.
My creative fit the stimulus
My essay, I was smashed it

I think you might have a problem...

 

[norwegianwood]

short answer was good but time-consuming
creative was gr8 (chose the image for stimulus)
essay question was so much like the cssa one

my related material was david foster wallace's 'this is water' which is ALL ABOUT CHOICE

despite this i have a bad feeling about my essay. o well

 

[NWO]

Very important to introduce the texts lol

you can't just say

this notion of affinity is thoroughly explored in skrzynecki's anthology etc

then in the middle of your essay

nek min

oh and in the film ....

etc


but you shouldn't worry, because they only count your best two sections

I can't actually recall if I've mentioned it or not but I hope I did. Anyways, it's over !!! Yes it will, all sections are counted :L

The 2nd stimulus for creative writing confused me but i still used it anyways. Other sections were good, except the last part of section 1 which was weird because I didn't feel like the people desired for connections in text 3 and 4 (which are usually the preferable ones to use).

TBH, anyone that did more than two sections is simply risk averse and blatantly stupid.

Why would you do three when they only count your best two?

It's like saying, I'll write three sections for no reason.

I did the creative/essay so hoping for 28/30 for both.

Oops...through!
My iPad autocorrected it to that :/

Overall, a very fair paper and students who undertook the CSSA trial would've found it quite good.
Section 1 - The most challenging of the three sections, but I feel as though I did okay. I can't believe they asked a question on emotions... I felt like the biggest wanker while writing the 5 marker.
Section 2 - Thought I was fucked when first reading the stimuli but realised the third one was actually quite adaptable to my memorised creative.
Section 3 - Almost mirrored the CSSA question but included 'attitudes of others' which was fine.
This is the first English exam I've had to constantly check the clock and allocate exactly 40 minutes to each.

Peppering my angus for Paper 2. I smell something fishy.

Q 2 i died there. Wrote lots for the other parts. Q2 i mentioned identity and low self esteem and stuff. maybe 13/15 if im lukcy..

 

[Mitsunami]

Rushed through Question 1 halfway then 3-2-1 again for some reason. Did great on 1 though.
Essay was alright, creative was a bit shaky but managed in the end.
All in all it was an okay exam, I guess.

How can you get 28/30 for both?
You could get 14/15 for both?

 

[starlight-tears]

How do they distinguish/mark between the standards and advanced english papers?

 

[flashtrick]

Really wanted them to say "at least ONE RELATED TEXT"

Had to make up a paragraph for my first related.

Short responses weren't too bad, but then again, I'm terrible at them.

Just shoved in the stimulus at the end of my creative.

 

[DJ696]

Paper 2 tomorrow...going to be my worst nightmare.

 

[Menomaths]

I smashed the paper

With my fists

 

[yus456]

I did badly in the exam (I suck at writing fast) and I did 2 related texts instead of one for section 3. I AM FREAKING DEAD!
