    raw marks for band 6?

    Lol awesome. I'd drop it too, but it's compulsory for my school. If I could drop it, I would have in year 11 and taken up MX2 because I'd have more time lol.

    removal of time limits on exams

    Hmm rather than an infinite time limit, I think it should just be extended. Imagine, having 4 hours to do Paper 2, allowed to leave at any time. Alot of stress would be taken off, yet it wouldn't kill the markers either. However, I like the current time limits in subjects like...

    richard III

    Thought it was a good question. I had specifically studied beforehand how similarities could be drawn between Richard and Al Pacino in relation to their ambitious natures, holding positions of power (Lord Protector of England, Director/Writer), and how they were portrayed. Al Pacino's ambition...

    What do you think you will score out of 60?

    Hoping for at least 12-13 in each module (that's good for me, I suck at English!). So about high 30's probably, 40's if I'm lucky. Overall quite happy with the exam.

    HSC '09- the most paranoid year.

    Quite happy, all essay's, all completely do-able, with no major twists (unlike that STUPID SOR exam yesterday, that was so fucked) Great exam, thumbs up to the English Paper 2 writer. May you be shouted with praise for the rest of your life :)

    raw marks for band 6?

    Impossible to tell because the scaling is different every year. I've got no idea but if I was to hazard an uneducated guess, I'd estimate 80+? I'm aiming for a band 4 or 5 (thats really good for me). I think I'll get around 65-70 Anyone know how that will fare in relation to others? :P

    No more English-EVER!!!!!!!

    Amen! Death to English and Shakespeare. When I burn my English notes, I bet I'll see ghosts and mysterious evil spirits trying to escape the fire...

    If you hate English, you must post here in celebration

    YES! FUCKING OATH! WOOHOO! And to top it off, I think I did OK (as opposed to shithouse, which is what I expected to go) 23/10 will always be remembered as the day I never had to write another essay ever again in my life (Well, at least not for a LONG time) Mathematics & MX1 FTW. ---...

    SOR I - Section 3! YOUR THOUGHTS

    So enough about Christianity. How did people interpret the Judaism question? I believe it was something along the lines of: Analyse the connection between the "laws and rules" and the "love of God", as referred to in the quotation, in the life of the adherents. I wrote 3 pages on sexual...

    SOR I - Section 3! YOUR THOUGHTS

    I heard the maximum BOS can use from the prelim course is 30%. The particular question was worth 20 marks, ie 40%. It wasn't from the prelim course/syllabus, it was completely out there. You would not be able to answer such a question..

    General Thoughts: SOR 1

    The picture question, the answer was Reconciliation (pretty sure). Reconciliation between aboriginals and the church (as evident by the cross in the middle) and this is a syllabus dot point.

    Question 11

    Did anyone mention the obvious? That in 1977 Methodist and some Presbyterian churches merged and became the Uniting Church? lol.

    SOR I - Section 3! YOUR THOUGHTS

    That was ridiculous. Lucky I have 12 units. BOS have really screwed up this year ay? If anyone has the exam writer's name & address, please post it here so we can hunt them down and make them eat the quotes from the Bible/Torah/whatever Haha thats funny, doesn't surprise me though. I felt...

    was it better than you thought?

    It was OK. Then I read the last question - WTF! I went in fully prepared, even for a hard essay question, and then it asks the weirdest SOR question I have ever seen. Did the syllabus change on us yesterday or something ??

    Section 1 - Stimulus

    Re: omg.... Compare means similarities AND/OR differences. So you can do either, rather than both. I have a text here with the definitions of Assess, Analyse, Compare, Contrast, etc etc

    What will you do with your school stuff?

    I have established two piles in my room, which will be added to after each exam. The first pile is the "To burn" pile, the second "To Keep". I'll be burning ALL of English (isn't everyone?) and keeping study notes for Physics/Chem etc for my little brother. Notes from class, classwork, books...

    General Thoughts: English Paper 1 (AOS)

    I did OK. Not as good as I hoped, and yet not as bad as I imagined I could go. Pages: 4/2/7 Hopeful marks: 12/6/14 Anything above 30/45 I will be happy with. Aiming for above 70%. Just curious, how good is 70%? Is that usually average? or really crap?

    Section 3 - Extended Response

    I liked it. I suck at Adv English and surprised so many people thought it said 2 texts...when it said 1 lol. Wrote a grand total of 7 pages, took me 1 hr which took 20 mins out of creative writing time. I adapted my megathesis to suit the whole understanding thing and basically stated that an...
