I'm choosing it? But yeah, thanks heaps in advance.

I'm doing 1 prescribed and 2 relateds. Apparently, we need 2 for precautionary reasons.

My other related is 'A drive in the country' by Peter Skrzynecki

Haha - I meant as in did you choose it before I recommended it?

And don't do Skrzynecki since I think you're school does it in Yr 12 - so the teachers know the text inside out and you can't get away with bs-ing, and don't do 2 poems for relateds.

Do like a painting/cartoon/short story as your second.

 

[RivalryofTroll]

Don't do 4 poems.

my prescribed is a novel.

so novel + 2 poems.

not 4 poems.

 

[theind1996]

Write under a page for a Mod B essay that doesn't even address the question properly. Actually, he was telling us of some shockers that people wrote. Some guy opened with "Hamlet is a modern novel..." -> strong fail/10

Ahahaha what was he smoking?

I imagine that the Standard students are even worse? Oh dear...

oh wow

"So that's way less than 90%"

It's 0.5 marks less...

English isn't so much about percentages, it's just about getting in the 13+ zone regularly for AOS, or the 18+ zone (for modules).

True, but my english marks aren't really consistent this year anyway (15/15 oral, 14/15 viewing task, 17/20 for creative, 19/20 for practice essay, 16/20 for practice creative...)

Ah, I see. Well try doing a film or something instead of the second poem?

 

[Thief]

oh wow



True, but my english marks fluctuated a lot this year anyway (15/15 oral, 14/15 viewing task, 17/20 for creative, 19/20 for practice essay, 16/20 for practice creative...)

lol 'fluctuated'

they're all still fucking good

Your average is in the A-range.

Don't do Skrzynecki.

There's so many more texts out there.

the decline is just a bit. Not too much fluctuations going on.

Dude, Journeys used to be a HSC AOS. There's heaps of stuff out there.

 

[RivalryofTroll]

sorry. my engrish isnt dat gr8.

(what i was trying to say is that the fluctuations aren't too much of a change)

dunno, I feel really uncertain about english, like I never know what to expect.

I'm never happy with my results tbh, I always feel like I'm not using my potential/time well.

Pls don't convince me otherwise (doubt it'll work)

I know it

 

[Thief]

My definition of marks fluctuating would be getting like an A, C, B, A etc

Twink's definition: whether she lost 1, 2 or 3 marks (or none at all)

A drive in the country isn't even a common Skrzynecki text I believe.... it won't matter I'd think.

 

[theind1996]

Ahh well - up to you.

I'd just advise doing it for the main reason that it's a poem too.
