it was easy =]

 

[Platinum]

Agreed. Looks like BOS went easy this year following all the complaints last year e.g. simple reply letter as opposed to a complaint letter.

 

[nitnit]

yatta!! it was cool!! loved it! =D

i hope i get 80+ !!!

 

[sykoticx]

*cries*
i screwed up!! there goes my uai and band 6... ><"
BOS were really cheap... that Gap Year question was used before in the HSC...
lazy ass people!!

 

[kkewi90]

yeah some of the stuff was similar to stuff from previous papers...
the sushi making dude in listening was like some other dude wanting to work in a hotel or something..
also ive seen a similar question to that *what season should ur fd come* writing Q

 

[sykoticx]

^ seriously.. i think there was something wrong with the reading and writing..
some of the questions were so cryptic...
it required more than simply a translation.. it needed your interpretation..
cause like there were so many marks allocated! ><""

That's happening across the board in LOTE exams, higher order thinking skills and whatnot. I like it, you don't have to understand every word to 'interpret'.

So it seems BoS were a little less sadistic this time. Listening and reading were fair, writing was always going to be disastrous.
Overall, not bad.

 

[vinvien]

easier than expected . i couldn't figure out what BIRU (building) was . i just did a indonesian exam earlier and all those katakana words just reminded me of indo ! garh . but my compositions are gonna drag me down to band 5 =( i wish the listening was more challenging TT"

 

[emmisue]

i thought it was great! i wouldnt say easy, becuase knowing what the questions wanted was kinda hard, especially in the 2nd reading one. but listening was great, no words i didnt know, no awful questions. nothing on the environment or unemployment issues etc great! reponding was great 2, there were so mnay things you could write about.

overall, very very happy!

 

[Raikiri]

Listening and reading were great. I struggled with the writing questions as I ran out of time to devolpe them into soemthing half decent.

 

[urenchristopher]

That test was freaking rediculas!!!!!!
i ran out of time and made up all the reading comprehension questions!!!!
i found that so hard oh wells there goes my great UAI!

 

[Sharleexx]

Wasn't too bad.

I spent too much time on Listening and Reading, therefore had to rush through the writing. But I think I'll be alright. *crossed fingers*

I'm more than half worried about extension now. Planning to cram the whole course in 1 week. LOL.

Edit: Goodluck to all!

 

[crees]

i thought it was okay - listening which always struggle with was good so hopefully i go better than i usually do

just wondering if u were allowed in look up and write down words in the reading time???

 

[Sweet Saz]

The exam was awful for me. Listening was fine but the rest I ran out of time for most things. I would have liked to been able to produce something decent but I had a mental blank. Did anyone else have that sinking feeling when the examiner said "Time"? I was so upset and disappointed. Oh well there is nothing I can do about it now. Lets hope the markers are in a giving mood.

I don't think you were allowed to..

But dont take my word for it!

 

[nandayo]

Yep you are. Read it in a Board of Studies booklet, "students may use their dictionaries during reading time", or something to the like.

I used it for a word in the e-mail reading/responding, and for my writing. But, I accidentally wrote "From Josh" when you were supposed to do "From Chris", I hope they're all "Naww, poor kid - we understand" and don't take too much off. Felt like such a doosh after I walked out, but I was pretty confident with reading/responding. Not so much writing, blerughh.

u sad case =] abe told us specifically we could LOL

 

[cyncyn2007]

LOL SHE DID??? aww, dang it. hahahah i wanted to look up that 'GREEK' word T__T" oh wells hahaha

THis is the only exam i was confident with when walking out..
I hope i get good, so i can pull my english and business up..

*DIES* i need to cram jap ext after 3u maths ><"

 

[Half-Blood]

Yeah it wasn't too bad... xcept one weird thing was that everyone finished after 2hrs and a bit and left me alone in the exam room with the invigilator!!
And I barely finished... I can't understand how ppl can finish so quickly..

*DIES* i need to cram jap ext after 3u maths ><"

^Me too Good luck for that..
