I think both papers were pretty fair. Module B required a little thought to adapt, but other than that, I guess everything was expected at that level.

I couldnt agree more. English is a useless subject. My point is if they want to make it compulsory (which it shouldnt be), they should teach grammar and writing skills, not this BS they teach now.

How can you know what the cut-off was?
I didn't like paper 1 because we did Great Expectations and the reading task questions could have been harded.
Paper 2, well, I LOVED IT. You can't complain about module A - it was so generic. Module B was fine if you'd studied all of the content.
Module C always has a funnily-worded question and you just need to be imaginative in making your ideas fit or thinking of new ones.
It's not meant to be a walk in the park!

Lol so true, similar to basic skills back in the day. Seriously I've learnt more useful ways to write reports, memos, reports, business letters and personal letters in VET I.T that will actually help me in life for numerous things such as applying for jobs and handling communication in a business. Whereas English does none of this.

lol I predicted that the belonging question was going to be based on shared experiences lol. Still fairly easy to adapt since I made my generic essay cover every aspect of belonging. What's the theme for the next 3 years? "Knowing" I think?

lets all object to bos with shit punctuations and poor grammatical skills.
They do, don't they? When I was in year 8 or something they made 'literacy' a compulsory subject, which taught just that

Easy paper/question, people complain others can go in with prepared responses.
Normal paper/question, people complain it's not challenging enough.
Bitch paper/question, people complain it fucks people over because they aren't prepared.

In all honesty, *any* prepared response for Skrzynecki, BR + F and The Fiftieth Gate you could have written near word-for-word without an iota of worry
But those people HAD to do Hamlet, which was shit. So, iunno.
I'm fairly happy with the standard paper.

You had to have really specifically studied place though, because I found it easy to talk about place 'facilitating a sense of belonging' as in Duke senior/The Forest of Arden, but i hadn't specifically studied how it 'hindered one's sense' so i was a bit fucked. I just wrote about the social demands of court life and how they reflected Olivers mistreatment of Orlando, thus left him feeling Ostracised in the court.Haha, yeh we did get lucky
If you did As you like it for belonging- the AOS q was like <33333333
Tbh i didn't study for trials and only studied the night before. Most stupid thing I've ever done in my life.
Studying is just shit. & I'm lazy. Haha.
On another note: Mod B was fucked, I went in with 2 Slessor Poems, Five Bells was one of them, but we were told to only study 3, so to those who didn't study FB, i feel so sorry for them!
