Today, 10:11 AM    | Do you lose marks for having 2 related texts? You can hide this advertisement by registering. I had some extra time and thought why not. But now I'm pretty worried.edit: It has been settled that you won't be disadvantaged and the people who don't agree are fucken douches. Now stop reading this thread and start studying for SOR, IPT or English Paper 2.

Today, 11:20 AM | Re: Do you lose marks for having 2 related texts? I think they just completely ignore everything in your essay about the second related text. Had to change like 70-80% of my memorised essay to adapt to the question and the related text thing

19 Nov 2009, 6:55 PM | Re: Do you lose marks for having 2 related texts? I think this is the question on MANY people's lips atm. Heaps of people read it as "at least one" and some people didn't read that part at all. I saw the "one" and thought fuck no itll be way too short. i don't think they will DETRACT marks, but theres a possibility that they will disregard the second one or the worser one. |

Today, 4:21 AM | Re: Do you lose marks for having 2 related texts? Well i intepreted as ONE text not at least one. So i had to remove about 400 words from my essay and extend it a bit. I chose to remove the shit related text and so i could slam the other. They won't deduct marks for a second just mark the prescribed + first related text. |

Today, 11:20 AM | Re: Do you lose marks for having 2 related texts? They will definitely not give you any marks at all for anything you write on the second text. I spent around 5 minutes planning on how I could adapt and extend my essay, ended up making it too long (hah)

16 Nov 2009, 2:26 AM | Re: Do you lose marks for having 2 related texts? it said "ONE related text of your own choosing". it didn't say "at least one" which is why i only wrote about one related text. if it said "at least one" then i would have written about 2. |

Yesterday, 7:51 PM | Re: Do you lose marks for having 2 related texts? to be very honest.. i think it's only fair you get deducted marks if u do more than one because: 1) even though i had a memorised essay with 3 related texts, I managed to write a really shit roughly 800 word essay and its not fair that someone who writes on 2 with a lot less depth gets more marks than me 2) you completely ignored the question and showed u depend purely on memory...the question probably was very purposely worded that way to break the memory habit sorry but i think its only fair :/
