General thoughts: English Advanced Modules Paper 2 (2 Viewers)

[ad_321]

1984/Metro: wasn't expecting stimulus, but approachable Q. Bit rushed at the end but happy.
Hamlet: imagery again... hated it, rush job.
Why Werent We Told: hell yes, easy question. Pumped it.

Liked Paper II more than Paper I - purely based on how confident I feel LOL (dropping my ATAR goal to 90 after that trauma)

Should've written more for each question. Speeches took me surprise as I hadn't prepped well for Lessing whilst that 1984 quote left me in mindblank as I wasted time thinking of the appropriate technique (was it a paradox?)

Can i ask what you how many pages you guys wrote for each?

Can i ask what you how many pages you guys wrote for each?

3 and a bit (around 3 and a half) for each.

._. i wrote so much for mod c in sacrifice of mod a but mainly because i didn't remember my quotes properly and ran out of time

i did 4 for mod b, like 7 or 6 for mod c, and like 2 for mod a lmao

I can't remember how many pages, but probably 1,100 words for mod a, 1050 for mod b and 1050 for mod c

10 for mod a, 9 mod b, maybe 6 or 7 mod c

(Hi Mrs Tuner-Jones)

English Paper 2 was actually better than Discovery I thought.

Module A (Metropolis and 1984): The quote and stimulus were pretty good and easy to incorporate with the essay I thought
Module B (Hamlet): This question, I thought would be tough for most people, especially as it specified how Shakespeare used imagery to challenge truth and deceit, but overall, with the right quotations, such as "tis and unweeded garden that grows to see" or "what is a man? If his chief good and market of his time be but to sleep and feed? A beast no more.", I found that addressing truth and lies was pretty simple, especially if you studied the dichotomy between Medieval Feudalism and Renaissance Humanism.
Module C (Why Weren't We Told?): I thought Module C was pretty straight forward, straight from the rubric.

Overall, I think this was easier to handle than finding out that whale ribs are like boats or looking at that non-existent picture stimulus, but you know, I'm a drop so yea

Spent too long on Mod C, didn't get a conclusion out for Mod B. Much better than AoS though.

I hope the Mod C marker likes my analysis of Wag The Dog and Zootopia.

edit: also I probably used a Mod B quote or two that don't really exist.

 

[chiefpasco]

10 for mod a, 9 mod b, maybe 6 or 7 mod c

lol and i thought i did well with 6-7 pages for each module. daaammn

 

[eating]

was each booklet 4 pages? I know I used 2/2/3, so probably 6 pages each except mod C with 9. I write about 6/7 words per line

 

[BandSixFix]

Pages/Words =/= Marks to an extent. Once you hit a certain threshold the markers couldn't care less.

im still not over paper 2, mod a was the worst for dalloway and the hours - they gave us an extract from one of the lesser characters who we didnt study in class and everyone thought the quote was said by the main character so the whole grade got that wrong DDD:
mod b for yeats was fine and mod c was ok for WWWT
but mod a

Yeahhh the quote... I think ours was from redgrave and Margaret... Dw. you probably did much better than me (I really messed up module A by only doing about half the question. Like only talking about the context )

But don't stress about it. There's nothing you can do now to change your answers, so no point worrying about it Just do the best you can in the future exams and I'm sure you'll do great!

I'm in the same boat for Dalloway! My whole grade literally thought it was Clarissa! I would have never, in my wildest dreams thought it would be Lucrezia! But apparently, markers don't care about who said the quote... They care about the idea! Well, at least that's what my teacher and tutor said, who both happen to be HSC markers!
