IMO i found section 1 the hardest out of all three >>

just out of curiosity, i rote about a whole page for almost each question and probably about 2 pages for the last question in the exam. Will they read the entire thing? or will they just read the first couple of sentence and decide whether its right or wrong.

I wouldn't be surprised if i happen to score a 0 in that section >>
They mark this task on a criteria, so they see a technique and give you one tick, see you answer the question and give u one tick, etc

Thought it was quite an easy section, at least in comparison to the CSSA Trial.

I was a bit disappointed that there were four texts (would have preferred three) but everything still went smoothly. I used the visual and the poem for (e).

Text Four wasn't as technique-dense as I would have liked, but I managed to find enough to make a solid response.

texts were pretty good. text one and four were hard to squeeze out answers for...
text 2 was pretty good, but text 3 dominated.. technique-packed and easy to write about.
I did about 4 pages on the e) for texts 2 and 3

My time management was horrible. Put all of the good stuff in a, b, c, d and then didn't write enough for e.

I think I did worse in this section I took too long on the first few and ended up screwing the last one up pretty bad

Didn't mind the stimuluses though, I thought they were pretty good.

I did okay, but maybe wrote more than was necessary in some parts.

i like the texts :)
all texts are pretty easy to connect to belonging
and language techniques are not hard to identify :)
i am sure I did much better than trial (well I got shit in trial anyway XD)

Way easier than the trials.

Did 5 1/2 pages for this section. Kind of stupid how basically every text was about the homes connection to belonging. I thought we were studying 'What is a home' for a second.

I did Text I and Text 4 for the last question, can't see what was so difficult about the visual text it had loads of symbolism, the angle of the photograph, proportion of the objects within the photograph, hands holding it up etc.

I thought i could have been worse, as has been said its a flimsy topic. This is traditionally my worst section, but i dont think i went too bad. Definatley better than the independant or Catholic association trials!
