Huh? No that's fine. If you did two related then... not good ^_^;so are u absolutely dead if you did one poem, one related and that's it but in detail....>_>

...yeah, so pretty sure you can't go around calling people 'twat faced douches'Like I said, I didn't read the extra info thoroughly.
I'm not insulting them because I didn't read the extras properly. I'm insulting them because of the way they are conducting themselves....yeah, so pretty sure you can't go around calling people 'twat faced douches'
I always thought reading was just as important as being able to write well in english. Cos you might write the most brilliant piece of work, but if it doesnt answer the question, then hey guess what, you can't follow simple instructions.
anyways no point dissecting what you've done. just concentrate on what you can still do..
I think 15 is out of the question but 12 or 13, can be done easily if your essay was good.i wrote two Related TEXTs! *sigh* do you think we can still get 12+ out of 15 =[ ??

I'm sure it's still possible if your first related text was explored in depth enough! I think that they will have to go with the first one you wrote about though. I mean if they choose the one that would get you the most marks then that disadvantages those who answered the question correctly because you had two shots at answering the question.
For certain you won't lose marks, you just wont gain them
well that actually made me feel a bit better unlike that other guy... but yeh wouldnt have had enough time to finish it if i wrote my other poem in. still very, very worried about it thoHuh? No that's fine. If you did two related then... not good ^_^;
They mark the better text - becasue HSC marking is positive marking. Like someone put an example before, if you answer two options in science then they mark the better one. Someone could have written to separate essays for this one and they'd mark the better one.
And we aren't given two chances, we have limited ourselves because by writing on two related texts, it means we are writing less on each text then those who just wrote on one. Therefore less depth as has already been said.
That's not to say though it's not possible to do better than those who did one text. If you prepared a response, chopped off one text and waffled on about the other without adding depth and more analysis than you would have, your no better off.
Anyway, people who did two only disadvantaged themselves. I don't see how you can spin to say they're advantaged because by having the worst text disregarded, that means the time they spent on it in the exam was completely wasted.
People, why blame the mistake on us?
The exam states:
"In your answer you will be assessed on how well you:
analyse, explain and assess the ways belonging is represented in a variety of texts"
By putting a question asking for ONE related text they are asking for two things in the one paper.
CLEARLY BOS HAVE CONTRADICTED THEMSELVES AND MADE THE MISTAKE.
Therefore, BOTH responses should be included. They should take it into consideration. So if you're calling up or whatever, use this as your argument but either way everyone should be fine and they MUST take into consideration our interpretation of the question.
..positive marking..REALLY?? but then doesn't that mean we can provide multiple answers and do this double bite at the cherry thing ALL the time..and then the markers will jst choose the correct one?They mark the better text - becasue HSC marking is positive marking.

How the hell was your teacher even in the room is with you??? And that is so unbelievably wrong and unfair!!! My teacher wasn't allowed to even look at the exam until 3/4 of the way through!my teacher said that if you wrote about two texts then youll lose at least 4 marks. when everyone was reading through the paper, he like told everyone it was so mad.
WTF!!! I read that fucking question in the very beginning but didn't ask because I know the supervisors cannot answer my question regarding that. Like they arn't advantaged enough that they asked and got the right answer out of it...farout BOS I hate you so much the systems retardedso - rumour has it (although it's been pretty much confirmed)..that some students at ruse asked about the one related text..and their supervisor ANNOUNCED to the grade to reinforce that the question was asking for ONLY ONE related text.
hence, ruse students probably weren't AS screwed over..presumably.
bloody scandal. is that even legal for the supervisors to give directions like that.
like the maths ext. 1 black out with extra time from last year..
..this is not directed against ruse students at all. but wtf is going on with those supervisors :\
