oh no, i just know paper 2 is gonna make me cry tomorrow ((((((((((((

his everyone, im back, and yes it was a nightmare.
i will be lucky to get 50%.
mod c was a 20 marker about a place in one of our prescribed texts in mod A, B or C.
i havn't even read them so idk any places
and also my hand writting was illegible for all three modules, so the marker will be like, oop you are stupid, and slap a 10/20 on my paper.
and also i barely answered the question for all of them
and i didnt even read half the question for mod c (turns about it was also about identiy)
ill be moving from band 6 range to band 3 range i swear
i think everyone will do bad but not as bad as me
bye bye good atar,
hello to mystery atar for me

It's trials you'll be right. Makes up only 10-15% of your mark for that specific subject in the end. That % ends up being even less of your overall atar. Just learn from it and focus on the HSC.

Goes for everyone going nuts over trials. You flop, you learn, you do well, you learn. Thus is the point of trials. Trials really doesn't dent your atar that much unless you flop every single subject. Depends on the rest of your internals too and how you've been going in them.

Shit nonetheless but you will be fine

Just something I want to say, if you hate your prescribed English text's you are free to do any of your choosing come the HSC and trials.

For example, my Mod A prescriptions were The Tempest and Hag-Seed which I utterly hate with intensity. So I chose to do Camus' The Stranger and Daoud's The Meursault Investigation. It actually had some philosophical depth and played a lot better to my strengths in terms of analysis.
My Mod C prescription was spotty-handed villainess' and some prose that we haven't studied. SHV wasn't super applicable to a creative, especially my style of writing, so I chose Kafka's Metamorphosis instead.

Not sure how many people know of this, maybe it's common knowledge and I am just stupid hahahahaha, but this is just my experience of it and I have found it very useful

i hate tempessd as well

 

[scaryshark09]

are you sure you can do so for trials with your school marking?

 

[vvert2023]

i hate tempessd as well

Do something else then I reckon.

But fuck it's such a shit book created by shakespeare tragics trying to keep his 'legacy' of ghost writing alive. The whole plot reads like a shitty YA novel. Like the character's name is literally 8-handz smh.

are you sure you can do so for trials with your school marking?

I asked my head of department, he said I could. Best to ask your respective HOD at ur school tho.

but then how does your school mark it for internals....

it was a commissioned work as part of a huge reimagination project??? nothing wrong with that???
tbh I quite liked reading hagseed by itself before reading tempest, it was a decent standalone before we had to analyse it

analysing anything just sucks the life from it - i think that's the issue

 

[SadCeliac]

now if you're trying to argue that learning about an author who died like 400 years ago and somehow has 'up to date themes that span across time'... i can get behind that

you do the prescribed for internals ofc, but then come trial and hsc time it doesn't matter. thats what my HOD said.

of course there's nothing wrong with that, just not my cup of tea nor is it the type of reading i enjoy even as a standalone. Each to their own of course as literature is subjective.

honestly i say it depends. If its by some widely mandated and uninteresting sylabus designed not for enjoyment then yeah makes any piece of literature suck hahahaha, such is how shit advanced is.
but analysing my texts for my ext2, I actually enjoyed that, added a diff level of appreciation for them, but that's because i got to apply my own lens to it and that lens of course fit within my interests.

oh we all can. his work is completely irrelevant to studying modern literature or gaining the skills to study really any text post-1800 esp since no literature or play is written in verse anymore.

and my favourite thing is that shakespeare was not a feminist nor was he against colonialism in the slightest yet somehow the syllabus argues he is???? if he was he would've been canceled in however his audience would do that.
