No specific question for the common mod essay, forced creative with no reflection. Only gets easier from here. I remember the good ol days where NESA should have been feared. It seems they have become weak with these exams made for year 10 students. Surely can't get much easier from here?

IT IS OFFICIAL. EASIEST ADVANCED ENGLISH EXAM IN 23 YEARS (1 Viewer)

Buzman, surely you have academic commitments elsewhere which you should be fulfilling. If I'm honest, the 2019 exam (advanced at least) was a joke of a paper-
- unseen texts were straightforward and absolutely brimming with techniques
- common mod question was about a highly versatile theme that you should have had a close knowledge of
- module a was the epitome of 'textual conversations'- the rubric condensed into a few sentences, if you will
- module b related closely to the texts' themes and was not an unreasonable question at all
- module c was exactly as expected - 10 mark creative with a 10 mark reflection
common mod was very hard compared to this year and extremely specific.
module a had useless unassociated quotes which you had to follow. mod b was as specific as the common mod and mod c requiring a reflection as well as any option was harder then just one reflection

I'm gonna have to disagree with this. I think our paper was quite hard and memes were everywhere lol. Even NESA's wikipedia page was modified by angry students
These 2020 clowns like to think their common mod rubric regurgitation was hard because "I was expecting something harder". They should try sit the 19 exam with no past papers to go off

Exactly. Another point I forgot to mention
The vagueness of the syllabus really didn’t help either... we went in with absolutely no clue what they were going to throw at us.Exactly. Another point I forgot to mention

Good on the class of 2020 for getting through this with COVID though... big kudos to them but their exam seemed a lot more friendly

I don’t think marking will be affected by covid- if every kid got more lenient marking then everyone’s marks would be inflated as a whole so it wouldn’t make much sense...
I don’t think they’ll all get boosted up (which is redundant anyway since ATAR is a rank. I think that sort of got factored in with the more friendly paper.
Imagine the complaints if the paper was a curveball like last year lol

Makes sense
has it ever occurred to you that maybe you were just incapable... Lol

I honestly don't understand the warfare between 2019ers and 2020ers right now (led by 99.96 and de.broyle). Both years had their challenges and the fact that the questions this year were easier literally impacts on none of us. Its about rankings WITHIN our year group, not between them.
