Did anyone get their trials for religion back? I did and I failed so bad~! It was so hard! I revised by doing past HSC questions and the trials are so much harder than the HSC! Who did the Catholic trial? I did. Can anyone please help me with ethics and sacred writings and text in christianity and judasim? please?

Besides some very dodgy use of glossary terms, I actually thought the CSSA trials were pretty straight forward...ie almost word for word from the syllabus..... Maybe the shift from 3 parts to one question in the extended response threw you...

mmm i did ok i guess.. i got 32/50 and the average was 26/50.. so yeh and i didnt really study for it because english was more of a priority (as in english has to count and religion doesnt)
i wish it wasnt the first exam i got back though.. a bit of a downer but yeh i wasnt expecting to do any better

It was alright, but what did you think of the last question? I got 13/20 for it :vcross: From reading the question, I assumed it was asking to choose ONE type of rite from the THREE and talk about that rite e.g. a rite of passage and go on about the use of symbolism in marriages, batptisms etc. So the teachers only marked one of the rites i wrote about (marriage). But apparently, it was ONE rite from ONE of THREE... extremely ambiguous if you ask me grr

I actually thought it meant, choose one of three types of rites and talk about that rite. e.g. a rite of passage and talk about baptism, confirmation/bah mitzvah, marriage. So i wrote about 6 pages to cover all areas compromosing detail and so suffered with a dodgy mark. Quite a few people interpreted it that way as well. The average at my school i was told for the last section was 8/20 (shocking i know). 39/50 placed me probably 5th? Bah, forget SOR I, 13th best unit anyway :p
