meh, it was alright

 

[iStudent]

Was aight
That 6 marker for s1 though
and asking to analyse 1 text.....

 

[cbaldilocks]

It was pretty boring. I screwed up creative bad. My set ones had nothing to do with community because I was avoiding cliches. Ugh

 

[enigma_1]

dat 6 marker.....

My creative didn't fit community lol and yeah think I screwed that up. Essay was good though, loved the question!

 

[Sambam429]

I rejected it and talked about not belonging for creative. But what did it mean about different forms of writing?

 

[90atarpls]

failed s1 last q

 

[tsangk]

I thought it was interesting that the answer booklet has your name printed on it. Wasn't the point of the BOS number to make it "non-identifiable"?

Oh, and did anyone take the exam out of the room? I forgot

 

[Queenroot]

Dw guys I'm sure y'all smashed it! Paper 2 tomorrow so go focus on that, don't dread.

Does anyone remember what the question was for the essay and stimulus?

 

[subliminalpotato]

Did not expect 3 questions to be all three markers

 

[nexusbrah]

dat 6 marker.....

My creative didn't fit community lol and yeah think I screwed that up. Essay was good though, loved the question!

Does anyone remember what the question was for the essay and stimulus?

Scanning it on to the computer to upload as we speak.

 

[Lethal Toxin]

Screwed up, expecting band 3-,standard english scalling = gg atar = Time for Tafe (srs)

 

[photastic]

Section 1 was different. Section 2 was generic. Section 3 was also generic.

 

[Intrinsic]

Such an awful exam ... oh well life goes on

 

[dim-sims]

Screwed up my essay, I started off okay for creative IMO and then it turned to poo, short answers six marker was just stupid.

Needless to say, probs going to drag down everyone's mark in my year :S

 

[emilios]

Honestly you can tell it was quite an easy paper. In saying that though, I dont feel like I linked with the essay question too well, went astray too often. Cos of the difficulty (or lack thereof) of the exam, it will either be a) marked harshly or b) have a high B6 cutoff. Hope its not the former

 

[theoc]

don't even worry friends i only got halfway through my essay before pens down because of the ridiculous amount of time i spent on comprehension

 

[iStudent]

Yea it was quite easy comparatively. Predictable essay and creative q's (i actually guessed there was going to be community in creative)
And s1 is always straightforward.
I think it's going to be marked harshly or everyone gets really high...
