if you scroll all the way to the bottom of the list I gave(it's sorted by rank order), the lowest ranking school is "Rooty Hill high school".

it has a 0.2% success rate. 1 band 6 last year, and a few years back they had 0 b6's

a school near me hasnt had a b6 since 2017

Isn't it weird that in 6 months 2 weeks 3 days 20 hours 47 minutes and 1 second, we will be sitting English paper 1?

oh

 

[beanbug]

that's really good

aren't you meant to do around 1200 in 45 mins? that's what all my teachers have said b5/6 responses usually have

idk the standards for essay lengths are stupid for english...my hsie subjects recommend 800 in 40 which is reasonable fo 20 marks but english faculty really have the audacity to ask for 1200 in the same time which is insane. My teachers ask for 1200, but hsie is so much easier to write about than english so i really dont know

yeah the standards between my history teacher and english teacher are so different... i agree with you tho, i could get 5 paras in modern so easy but i struggle to get three in eng lmao

3 paragraphs with detailed analysis and 3 quotes is insane. i usually do 2 paragraphs with 2 quotes, idk how ppl are banging out band 6s with 3 paragraphs and 3 quotes while having less time than me

in 40 mins, 1000 is fine, trust me. one guy from my training got a raw 90 and his mod a essay didnt even hit 1000

 

[spiderfan44]

english is always the subject i finish with no time left

if my teachers were to read these 20/20 essays, they would be slammed so hard...because when I give detailed explanations on how a quote relates to the topic sentence and thesis and purpose of the text, I'm told to be more specific but when the essays have literally 1 sentence for each quote and 6-7 quotes each for 3 body paragraphs, they get 20/20. Life's not fair

 

[Legendary16]

guys is 1100 words in 52 minutes reasonable or am I a really slow writer? I just timed myself doing a T.S. Eliot essay

so 45 minutes should be your goal if you're writing 1100 words...something more feasible would be 1000 in 40-45
