FAR OUT guys
Your hands must hate you so much.
Section One = 4 pages (omg and I thought that was pretty okay...)
Section Two = 8 pages (I was chuffed)
Section Three = 9 and a tiny bit pages (I was impressed and started bragging...)
Like that other guy said though...I hope they're basing it on quality, not quantity..
Oh and..I know you guys weren't taking a stab at all the special provisions people but...
My friend is probably the smartest and most articulate person I know, but she suffers from Chronic Fatigue and a whole bunch of other thigns that means that when she gets stressed adrenaline pumps through her body and most of her organs simply dont function properly. She cant see or think properly, and so exams pretty must bum her out completely.
She gets to take strawberries into the exam and have break and a computer and her own room. And I think that she performs up to the standard she can, which is still probably below other people because she jsut cant get words onto paper.
I...I dont really think it's fair that people take advantage of it, because it cheapens the system that is trying to help sick people like Merryn. It just seems a bit selfish...because..if everybody started doing it like that, then their marks would be raised up, heightening the average, giving the "healthy" kids a disadvantage.

Wow, I was feeling semi-confident before I started reading this. You guys wrote so much! I do write small though so hopefully I've written enough.
Section 1 - I really don't know how I went, either just OK (8-10) or totally screwed up.
Section 2 I was pretty happy with, when I first read it I knew exactly what I was going to write about. I don't think it was all that earth-shattering but I'd say 12
Section 3 I ran out of time, I went a bit over on the first two so I only had about 25 mins. I managed to scrape in my three texts but I only had four minutes to write about the text of my own choosing, and Stimulus text was probably double that, but not sure if I answered enough of the question to do anything much. I'm hoping I'll get atleast 7, maybe a little more.
It really sucks how you don't get your marks for each section, it would make things so much better.

I cant believe what i just read; to paraphrase it she said:
"Im smart because i cheat, and you are stupid because you dont".
OMG.
I am pretty sure i am more intelligent than you (based of your UAI aim: 90+), its just that i have these things called morals and ethics - most people have these things, but obviously you dont.
Cheat all you want, get the marks you dont deserve, it wont help you in the long run. Your intelligence level, dilligence level, and work ethic will remain the same, and ultimately you will fail.
I will beat you in english - and deserve my mark. DIE BIATCH!
Just get something cleared up first.
Why is everyone writing like 5+pages for section 1?
Clearly if you identify the techniques, give and example and shows its effect, you will get the marks.
HSC markers have always made comments about ppl writing too much for this bit, as they mainly waffle.
anyways i wrote 4.5 for I (however maybe shoulda written more for last Q), 7 for II and 6.5 for III. Just managed to finish.

you are right in that the "identify the techniques. give and example and show its effect" (QTE) method is all you need to do for section 1.
But still - to cover the amount of quotes/techniques/effects to get the full 5 marks in the last part of that question u need to write quite alot. Effectively u need to write about 1/3 of a 15/15 essay. SO your average 15/15 essay is probably 10-12 pages, with probably 20 QTE's. Thus u could easily write 4 pages for the 5 marker - to be assured the marks.
The same applies to a 3 mark question - thats 1/5 of an essay - perhaps 2 pages.
etc... and u'll come up with alot of pages.

Section one - 10 pages (1 booklet, 2 pages)
Section two - 7 pages (almost one booklet)
Section Three - 16 pages (Two full booklets)
I screwed up section three because i hated that physical journeys question, I hated that beginning for the creative writing so it turned out to be the most convoluted crap ever written. Section one was probably my best, but i spent a bit too much time on it. I spent so long just trying to comprehend the journeys question.
Before the exam I was hoping for a band six, now I hope for 70 - 80%. I guess I'm not doing communications at sydney anymore.

As much as I dislike how people who don't have a legitimate problem are also able to use a laptop (I have special provisions due to a severe handwriting difficulty) it is naive to think that those who exploit the system and don't suffer any repercussions do not prosper.
