Got my results back in dribs and drabs over this week.
10 % weighting - Paper 1: AOS- comprehension and creative writing- 29/30
15% weighting - Paper 2: Critical study- Cloudstreet essay- 16/20

I'm pretty happy with my marks but I would've liked it if the weightings for the two papers were switched around. Keep in mind though, that they gave us half the exam to prepare for- I had a a memorised essay and creative writing. I'm never doing that again- it was such a stress trying to remember them.

I got mine back today...AOS (worth 5%) wasn't my most fav exam of 0.5 yearlies...i got 11/15 for part 1 (comprehension), haven't got creative writing back (i wrote like 2 pages, i ran outa time! so yay can't wait for results :uhhuh: ) and 15/15 for essay (where all my time went). Unseen texts...damnit i couldn't find meaning anywhere, but just avoided actually answering the question and rambled. I love the marker, so clueless, coz she's new, bless her little cotton socks
Paper 2 was just a 1 hr essay on BR/BNW (worth 5%), it was a world conference speech about changing directions of humanity (best form and question i thought coz you got to really express ur opinions about humans today without being soapboxy...coz the question actually told you to 'share your perspective') Got 20/20 (stoked and shocked)
Btw for the essays, did you guys learn heaps of points/concepts for the essays to be safe or just a few and hope they fit on the day. A few is generally what i do, and learn in detail. Though I should prob change that ey

worth 10%.. got like 6.5 guess thats ok.. BNW/BR essay.. discussion between academics for "speeches"

 

[goan_crazy]

no miss_gtr u did heaps well i reckon...majority of ppl at my skool didnt even pass
like we had 4unit english ppl fail
seriously, 66% is heaps good at my skool...anything above 50 would b good 4 that exam at my skool

got mine back today. am pretty happy with my results. at our school anything about 60 is really good normally, but then maybe we're just stupid. we did AOS plus module b, and had 3 hours.. is that too long? It sooo didn't seem like it.

Okay, so..

AOS qn 1- 14/15
AOS creative response- 12/15
AOS essay 9/15
Harwood essay 13/20

Yeah i completely stuffed up the last two questions.. my writing was so illegible by that stage that i now how circles around so many words on my paper where my teacher couldn't read it.. will def. have to do something about that. But yeah, 74% and i think that puts me somewhere in the top 5.. so I'm ok with that for now, just need to work on the essays and my handwriting...wasn't an assessment so yay!

I did pretty poorly, I got:

Comprehension: 12/15
Journeys essay: 7/15
Wuthering Heights essay: 14/20

Ah well, I think it was weighted 15-20%..never mind, I'm currently ranked 27/44 people, and I'm in the second top English class, so its not too bad.

Wow - you guys all had exams??

Our school had a speech assessment on Telling the Truth/Powerplay, which was cool...no studying involved! Ony memorisation... *sigh*
