I had to read Texts 3 and 4 twice before I even understood what they were talking about, and even then I'm pretty sure that I didn't do it properly.
Sure, it wasn't absolutely terrible, but yeah it was pretty bad.
The part about 'place' threw me off and I think that my connections with the stimulus were a bit forced. But the marker should be able to see that I've tried to incorporate the stimulus, so all I can do is hope for the best :spzz:
Interesting trivia:
'2016 is the 50th year of HSC exams.'
'The cohort includes 864 sets of twins and 18 sets of triplets'
The things I do when HSC feels get to me
My teacher advised us against using the same examples, but I doubt that you would lose marks for using them again if you really need to. Not sure if there's a separate marker for each question though.
We have 7 set speeches that we need to study, and they can prescribe a specific speech so we need to learn them all in depth. Also we need to link them together somehow so yeah, not so much fun
I'm actually hoping that they ask for two related texts for AOS because I don't know them in depth, and since trials asked for two that's all I'm prepared for
I would be eternally grateful if it wasn't specified, but we don't really have any choice other than to prepare for everything
... they wouldn't ever ask for more than 2 speeches right?! I was looking at some trial papers and one of them asked for a close analysis of at least three speeches?
I've only looked at Pearson so far, and even then my analysis seems really half arsed. I get the feeling that they won't specify Deane since it's been done before? But yeah they might chuck in one of the literary speeches so we have to prepare xD
