The 2004 HSC - English Paper 1 (4 Viewers)

[*BUCKO*]

I thought the paper couldn't have been better. They asked simple, direct questions, in the traditional text types, which allows them to finally assess what the hsc is about, rather then wasting our time with conversations, feature articles etc. I don't think they would have been kinder.[/QUOTE

I completely agree! Finally for once the HSC may be assessed fairly this year...on what we have been studying for all year....last years uai's were catastrophical...some of the samrtest people i know barely got over 50

[Ravnok]

Section 1 was good
Section 2 was OK 3 pages only but still alost if not 400 words ...
Section 3 i fucked up ... The question was easy but i didnt get it ... for Rabbit-Proof Fence the destination is more important ... very bad ... ARGH ... wrote 12 pages using 3 texts ...

guess that wouldve been difficult...but there would be some...inner effects...emotionaly...stuff like that! anyhow...can just say im very glad i didnt have to do rabbit proof fence

hey how long did question 2 take u guys? and question 1

 

[charmed_cuties]

The exam was fairly straightforward, but hey i lost track of time but i reckon i did considerably alrite compared to my trials. I'm actually happy that i got thru the first exam without major difficulties

 

[*BUCKO*]

question 2...roughly 1/2 and hour...the first part...probably the allowed 40...i wrote a fair bit...and then used the rest of the time on question 3

 

[simon_hitchcock]

shit i did bout 45min on the 3rd one, bout 55min on the first one, and ran out of time for number 2

 

[*BUCKO*]

at least you got to finish the last question...some people didnt even get there...the 2nd question is the one most people do worst on...we will just make up more statistics...hehe

 

[MouNtY]

the exam was very straight forward....i thought i did well......but once again i think my slow writing let me down again.....i got
SECTION ONE: 5 pages
SECTION TWO: 5.5 pages
SECTION THREE: 5.5 pages

section three was the easiest, followed by section one and then section two.....my creative writing was so crap....

 

[simon_hitchcock]

Section one: 5 pages
Section 2: 3 and half
Section 3: 6 half

section three was by far th easiest

 

[chew]

im shitting

what happens if u wrote an essay instead of writing a creative text in section two, do u think i will lose many marks?

 

[*BUCKO*]

not sure....depends how well u made your point

 

[KarmaKitten]

I gave equal time to each.

I refused to spend more time on one section and ignore the others, and im quite happy with it but im still nervous.

 

[simon_hitchcock]

there was no where near enough time allocated for the exam

 

[*BUCKO*]

i agree they should give us 2.5 hours at least...i reckon they should allocate like...15 hours for our whole block of exams...and just have to use that amount for the whole lot...so that when it comes to the last exam (religion for me) and i have no time left...it wont matter!

 

[SiMoN16]

What mark do you guys think u will get after today

I think based on today and the trial, i might maybe get 65-70. Im happy with that....................did you guys also get to kept you question paper.
