This is the thoughts, reflections and discussion thread
feel free to post up ur marks once uv got them back

What did u guys hav in urs?
I had journeys questions, Area of study essay-physical journeys-skrzynecki and king lear essay
it went 4 2 hours
i didnt finish. I started the king lear essay with 15 minutes to go and then realised it was worth the most that was stupid of me. I spent too long on my journeys essay!

 

[snowblack]

mine was really hard...i thought it was stupid how they put journeys and Module A together because they dont do that in hsc ><
it had 3 sections, the 1st was unseen stuff on journeys, the second was an essay on Srzynecki, stimulus booklet and 2 related texts and the third one was a stupid conversation about BNW and BR...
i was lucky to finish but it doesnt count so it doesnt matter how i went

 

[DigitalFortress]

mine was crap.

 

[starbaaa]

Our english half yearlys dont count!! I havent done mine yet, but im not worried about it in the least. its worth 0% of our assessment mark, and im so happy about that.

 

[Pointy Ears]

Starbaaa your so lucky! I can't believe its not worth anything!

Well, anyways, mine was:
1. Unprepared analysing of journey texts
2. Last years HSC journeys creative question
3. Last yrs HSC journeys essay question (The journey is more important than the destination)
4. King Lear.

Hmmmm, so we had to do this in 2 hrs, and i didnt finish the 1st or 3rd, and I also had only 15 minutes to get to the Lear question (just like you Joe), which was also worth the most marks, so yea, I'm spewing but ive got noone else to blame but myself really.

 

[starbaaa]

Starbaaa your so lucky!

and don't I know it. The english teachers tried to keep it a secret ... that it wasnt worth anything I mean. I was looking at the assessment booklet, and I discovered it wasnt listed. So I went to the deputy principal, confirmed it, then spread the word around. Somehow I dont think many people will be putting much effort into it...

 

[ishq]

...And the importance of the Assessment Booklet reveals itself....
..... now I wish i hadnt lost mine...

lol... I've been getting 80% on the dot for every single assessment/exam for yr 12... my teacher is tuck to that mark... no matter how high or low my expectations may be.. i end up getting 80%... and it's really annoying...

oh yeh and my half yearly wasn't assessed but it was an A.O.S exam...
typical HSC style... 2 hours... and had plenty of time to spare

oh yeh... and i got 80% ... lol

 

[s0k0y0e0]

I think I did pretty well! It wasn't hard or anything; I mean we were told what would be in it, and so we could prepare answers! I think and hope I'll be happy with my results! :uhhuh:
