i don't know how im going to sit these exams next week..

write them on your mirror.

 

[rhys100]

for section 3 of paper 1, the questions states "refer to your prescribed text, ONE text from the prescribed stimulus booklet,
Journeys, and at least ONE other related text of your own choosing."

my teacher wants us to use 2 realted though......

 

[Jehnaier]

Sometimes they ask to refer to related texts, and because it's plural they expect you to discuss more than one. So it's good to know two.

 

[live.fast]

hey is it for sure that its only going to be 'ONE other related text' ?

I mean, that's probably what it'll be right? Because that's what the HSC marker's notes said works best, and that's how CSSA TRIALS have been doing it the past few years, right?

so it'll only be ONE other, right???????????????????????????????????????

 

[Sooj]

Referring to 1 of your core text, 1 BoS stimulus, and 1 related text. One. One. But it's good to have two for your HSC.

Remember, your supplementary text is literally there to "supplement" you, so you should be writing 2/3 Core and BoS, 1/3 Supplementary text.

I advise you to make dot points and memorize them, writing an essay now would be too late for you to memorize it, if your test is on tomorrow.

Just so you know, I had my Advanced English test and I screwed it pretty hard, only because I tried to write 4 essays in one night, haha.


EDIT: Keep in mind that even if you DO fuck up Advanced (maybe 50%~70%?) you can still make it up for it with other subjects if you get +band5 marks for them.


@Magpam: The Power of One by Bryce Courtenay is a really good supplementary material, but since it's a pretty thick novel you might want to skip that and find yourself a comic by Leunig or even a poem. You could use Robert Frost poems if you're desperate.

Hey Is one poem one supplementaryy????? My teacher INSISTS that two poems = one supplementary!!

 

[zingerburger]

I suppose it depends on the length of the poem and how many techniques you can draw out of the poem. But I generally think one poem is enough.

 

[C4Shadow]

Tommorow were gonna start a help convo for Paper 2 so anyone interested just add me on msn.. Krazy_Kid31@hotmail.com

I really regret going out last night.
Im wondering if theres anyone else in my boat who went out on the w/e when they probably should have been studying for trials? Seriously one night of drinking has reuined two days of study and im really regreting it.

 

[rhys100]

chat back up boys and girls
we have over 12-15 people chatting away about study...

 

[h8hsc]

OMG....

I'm so screwed... I've only been studying one related text and i dont have another one !!!

Its wayyyy to late for me to memorise another one, so i guess im screwed baddly..

No it is not too late! lol. you can always sacrifice some sleep.. which is probably a bad idea.. but better than nothing? Don't we only need one related for AOS anyway?

 

[h8hsc]

Well its recommended by nearly EVERYONE to have 2 related texts !!!
But thanks for being so optimistic =]

 

[collide]

Ironic that I posted about sacrificing some sleep.. I probably had < 1 hr sleep due to insomnia. I feel fucked and my head feels like it's gonna explode

Good luck guys.
