the 'what would you do differently if you could do your exam again' thread (1 Viewer)

[unluckyinlove07]

for me it would probably to have written a page or two more for one of the questions (only got 2 pages for one of them and still had time left over which i didnt use)

thats probably my biggest regret but say lar vee (not sure how to spell it)

but yeah

i know its done but this is a time for reflections (or your journey through your hsc lol)

so what would you do differently

anyone else fuck up at all

 

[ChrissyGirl2007]

i wish i knew quotes from peter skrzynecki's poems. i didn't have any quotes for them, let alone a good explaination of them.

 

[FairyFloss]

I wish i spent time to think about my answers. I just went in and charged at all the questions.

Section 1: Wish i didn't spent so much time doing this section
Section 2: Did this last and only had 20 min
Section 3: Overjoyed that the question was easy, but realised the easier the question and the better my answer should be

I would have not attempted part e in section 1 at all and spent more time on my creative writing.

 

[LatK7]

Section 1: I honestly have no idea. Maybe write a bit more about language features...

Section 2: Add a tiny bit more to the end.

Section 3: Write an actual decent conclusion LOL

 

[Forbidden.]

Section 1:

Referred to more language techniques and REMEMBER them.
Spend less time considering I can't decipher such in-depth literature.

Section 2:

Written a better story about a Physical journey instead.

Section 3:

Maybe learn more about barriers and unexpected events ...

 

[m0ofin]

Used better pens (3 of four pens died).
Wrote paragraphs according to the marks allocated (i.e. not write half a page for a one-marker and less for a 5-marker).
Used techniques other than juxtaposition.
Relate story to question.
Relate essay to question.

 

[tranquility]

Spend more time in creative writing. Only did half of it....

 

[Legham]

Meh, i was just happy i didnt screw up too bad. if i had 5 more minutes to do the last question in section 1 it would of been good, but oh well.

 

[Pyros89]

Well I think Id probably try and link my story to the little quote thingi a bit more.... but they were icky.

That and would probably try and work the question more into my essay, cause the one I prepared really didn't suit the question.

The short answers questions though.... ew.

 

[BeyondDeath]

I wish I wrote a better creative story.

 

[^emmie^]

i would learn time management

haha i wrote creative writting in 15 minuties

 

[Gimlian]

Relate story to question.
Relate essay to question.

Haha. Doing that would have helped me too.

I would have paid more attention to section 1.

 

[~shinigami~]

I would probably write a slightly longer creative but that's all really. I think I've attempt this paper the best I can.

I wish I wrote a better creative story.

Concur.

I finished up to 5 minutes early.
But why didn't they remind you there's 5 minutes left ?

 

[2opinion8d]

section 1: wish I didnt spend 5o mins on it...
Section 3: not too bad ... addressed the question in every parra
section 2: *dies > only spent 25 minutes < wrote a feature article and didnt even resolve it...(bangs head)

bloody time management... after time was up i was like at least this is the last time i have to experience not finishing paper 1.

oh well everyone... we've still got paper 2!!!! Crank those essays up

 

[gaoOO]

I would have spent about 50 minutes on section 1. The texts were longer this year- or it just seemed like you needed longer to understand them (if you did at all, and in this case for me and text 3, no)

Usually section I most people can finish well within 40 minutes. This time, yeah, my assumption was incorrect.
