Hsc English Timing Is A Joke!!!!!!!!! (2 Viewers)

[thebigwillie]

I hate the amount of time that they give us. Its useless, its MURDER!!!!! I dont see hwo they expect us to write 3 quality essays in 2 hrs. U have to be there writing your hand off like hell!!!!!!!!

 

[bubble_tea]

its not too bad.
i think i've pretty much gotten over the time thing due to all the assessments and trials our school gave us..

 

[Sarah168]

no point whinging. It HAS been done before.

 

[townie]

english is probably the most demanding, but, hey, every1 has 2 do it

 

[+GriM ReApeR+]

yea i know...*shakes fist at BOS* lets go murder them

 

[flipsyde]

You are the Grim Reaper! Why dont you arrange that?... I wanna help though

 

[neuro_logik]

God I dont feel prepared for the english exam tomorrow, there is too much to remember and not enough time! God Damn Board of Studies!

 

[absolution*]

oh god. kill me now. i feel like antony. octavius is the paper 2. dont make me do it! you know i will. *stab*

*Antony exuent.*

Crowd applauds.

 

[Wild Dan Hibiki]

u just gotta think, 2 more hours and you'll never have to do english again.... unless you do extension

 

[^___ShabS___^]

im not ready for tommorrow ... and im gonna fail paper 2 as well ...
oh well ... its only HSC

oh and yes the timing is a big joke! 3 essays man! .. not everyone is fast .. they should take that into consideration .. and give us 2/1/2 or 3 hrs

 

[mervvyn]

yeah.... i always feel inadequate cos i struggle to make 5 booklet pages and everyone else is talking about moving on to their second booklet...

I suspect the histories (esp modern, cos thats the one i do) are the worst. A) 3 hours not 2, and more content and analysis t go through B) more variety of potential questions.

that said, not like i like english either.

 

[fantasia]

2 hours aint much.. it goes by real quick.

i'd rather spend 2 hours in the examination room then 3 hours. sooner i get out the better.

yeah, modern is a tough exam. the subject itself isnt difficult but the exam structure and what they demand IN the exam is a little tiring...

 

[Sickle]

I know!! An extra half hour could have helped soooo much!!

 

[SKA]

yes... not to mention u get a sore fingers from writting too much and when ur in a hurry u hold the pen like a lil kid... as i did (my fingers were sore)

 

[Mushy18]

yer... i just reckon that having 40 minutes to write wat we've done in an entire year is just bloody ridiculous!!!

 

[SKA]

well think of it this way peoples.. we are all in the same boat

 

[SelphieBoffin]

I agree, I think 2 hours is just not enough for everything we've done in a year. I know everyone has it the same, but.... people should'nt be advantaged because they write faster. And it's just not enough time to write 3 proper essays.

 

[mishka]

that's why you really had to stick to those time limits. no good doing a brilliant essay for module X if module Y is not attempted!

you should've seen my hand after this morning's exam - looked like a scene from a horror movie - all shriveled up, cramped elbow, blue ink all down the side (i'm a lefty!)

i'm just sooooo happy it's over!! forever!! no more stinking english!!
