It's an English exam.. You'd think that reading the question correctly would be kinda important.

Damn right.
Instead the board of studies should instantly fail everyone everyone that did 2x related text COS THEY CANT READ
hur hur hur

 

[Sultans12]

this is ridiculous, how can you be marked for not answering the question properly...

Its been a week and a half.
The world is just a little bigger and brighter than a 15 mark section in an english exam.
Anyone who is still thinking about it should go neck themselves.

 

[Bboy-twoFousand]

It's just a very strange thing for them to do...It's like in a maths test, if it says find velocity and everyone in the state finds acceleration - what, will they change the outcomes of the question?

hmmm yea i hav always wondered what would happen with that... i reckon different marking ethics.

anyway I reckon the second text will be disregarded

yes i am an idiot for writing about 2 text... but my second one was shit. so not really complaining..


its over and done with... who gives a shit...

Anyone up for a Board of studies raid?

i have pitchforks and flaming torches...

 

[MrDimple]

people who wrote two should be penalised, the question clearly stated ONE not TWO but ONE. People who wrote two are mentally retarded for not reading the question why do you think we got a 5 minute reading time.

 

[nosh22]

Let's kill this thread.
Anyone who writes below this post is a massive faggot.

this cant be right. i could've written a great essay with 2 r.texts, but i had to use 1. not fair at all.

Eggsactly.

It is now official at Marking Centres. Two Supplementary texts for the belonging essay will not be penalised, it will be marked normally. Thoughts?

bullshit.
I wish people would stop making up crap about this. we don't know whats going to hapen but OBVIOUSLY if you used two it's not going to be marked like you used ONE. DUH

Hmm, I dunno about you, but we got 10 mins reading time.

 

[emilyo]

but isnt it just giving more than the question asked for? Like if they asked for 1 technique i'd probably slip an extra one in there just to make sure i got the mark. I mean the question asked for ONE text, so you gave them ONE then if added another one isnt that just more info?

I think that emilyo is perhaps the first person to support 2 texts and actually make sense.

sorry my mistake, yea AOS was 10mins, its just now we get 5mins for other subjects and its crucial =/

I feel it is my responsibility to write more than the actual question asked for, just to piss off my teachers. Take biology for example, the question is only 4 lines, i give a page lol.

 

[wonmin]

My theory of how they are going to mark this is by splitting the students who wrote one related and two related. This will make it easier for the markers to determine certain bands.

For example:

Student A who write one related with an awesome response will get the high band 6s.
Student B who write two related with an awesome response will get the mid band 6s.

(Something like that)

Top student A and B are the base line for which determines the marks for other students. These marks will then descend in order of performance. Once this is done, they merge both categories (ONE related/TWO related) together. (Like stacking two decks of cards [each card representing a student] but rather than merging it equally, STUDENT B category is placed accordingly with the mid band 6 in the STUDENT A catagory)


FAIR YEAH?

Bullshit.. how can someone who answers the question incorrectly not be penalised. i had a spare 10-15 minutes which i could have included another text, but didnt because of what the question asked.
The BOS is loving inconsistencies atm
