Did you finish? I barely finished. i rushsed all my realted. fml

Ok here is how I think I went.

Mod A (Maestro): 15/20. 4.5 pages i think i wrote. Found this question pretty good and was expecting something less adaptable like last years question (which was terrible)

Mod B (Wilfred Owen): 17-18/20. Also wrote about 4.5 pages. I have always found Wilfred Owens poetry easy and so zoomed through this in half an hour at most. Great, easy question too. I chose to do 'Dulce Et Decorum Est' and 'Mental Cases'.

Mod C (Billy Elliot): 14-15/20. Wrote 6 pages on this but found it probably the most difficult of the 3 due to my planned essays not exactly fitting the question and I kind of had to adapt them but even still it wasn't a perfect match i'll admit. Had 55 minutes to do this section after racing through the first 2.

All up I wrote 15 pages, the most I've ever done for an English exam so pretty happy with that. Hand is still aching though!

Hoping for a Band 5 overall, provided I am ranked 2nd in my year I think I have a chance?

I was ranked first in my standard class. That does that mean that my mark out of 105 will become both my internal mark and my external mark? What will my HSC mark be then??

(i am assuming that I got the highest mark out of all my class mates)

What were your trial marks like?

 

[spanky125]

hopefully there lenient and not harsh, cause we had to do 3 essays in 2 hours

It doesn't matter if they are lenient or harsh, if they're consistent with everyone you will still get the same rank in relation to everyone else.

Exam went well. Went in there with pre-prepared responses and attempted to mould them with the questions. Not sure what marks to expect as I don't know how harsh the markers mark. I reckon I wrote 1000-1100 words per response. But basically timing wasn't really an issue for me. Overall, it went well, hoping for 16+/20 over all the responses

[DJ696]

[Hypem]

Expecting a high B5 which was what I was aiming for anyway

 

[omgiloverice]

Probably around:
distinctively visual: 17-18/20
Close study of text (Cosi): 8/20
Into the World: 11/20

I was ranked 4th T.T and my teachers and tutor were expecting me to get a band 5. I guess not anymore...

Imagine going to an examine that you studied for 7 days. Only to forget all the names of the characters and quotes as soon you sit down on that paper.
