Trials - English paper 1, questions? (1 Viewer)

[katoji]

For the people who have done it, did you get 10 minutes reading time, and then 2 hours to do the actual paper? Or is the reading time included in the 2 hours?

WTF? they're supposed to be separate, i.e. read for 10 minutes and then write for 2 hours.

It shouldn't depend on the school full stop. Oh well when you do your HSC it will be properly administered (hopefully).

When we did the SC they let us use calculator in the non-calc. section. True story.

Yeah, hopefully is right. We weren't given reading time at all in the HSC. Well, for Paper 1.

But they should definitely be separate - 2hrs wiriting & 10min reading.
