NESA did us dirty with the quartz question. I bullshitted the answer so hard lol even more than I normally do for reading tasks

How did we go guys?

I just finished my final exam and with that my second year finally comes to an end...

I loved that paper 1, great essay question and sources which werent too long. Thank you NESA!

 

[Jojofelyx]

was i the only one that struggled like broo wtf was that grandma tweezers and the quartz one

I thought those texts fkn sucked in terms of the richness of techniques. Gimme some metaphors, symbols, motifs and shit, not this fkn truncated sentence lol. who picked the texts, that required a load of bullshittery to get through lol, altho with that said happy it was like the mark distribution that it was, only one 6 marker ytb.

 

[Luke322]

Anyway, thank god I don't have to do anymore reading tasks or The (fucking) Crucible (1953) every again.

IKR it was just a bunch of prose fictions and article extracts like give me a fucking break

 

[Luke322]

Mark distribution was great, thank god the quartz was only 3 marks. The 6 marker I probably lost a mark or two because my bullshitting wasn't good enough

 

[TheShy]

NO FUCKING VISUALS FOR SHORT ANSWER WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

IKR but surprisingly the texts weren't that bad

 

[nini.nico]

the first question fucked me up i hate feature articles w a passion
but i was relieved there was no comparative question i would’ve died

 

[Luke322]

Paper 1 was easy but now I'm a bit suspicious of Paper 2. If they make us do a persuasive half my cohort will be getting 11's lol

[Luke322]

Yeah sorry it was 3,3, 4, 4 6 I think

 

[Luke322]

lol I had literally prepared an entire comparative mini essay structure just because I'm so bad at them, then I went into the exam and realised there weren't any

 

[Hscbuzman]

EASIEST PAPER 1 IN YEARS. THAT WAS A JOKE. THE HSC SHOULD BECOME FOR YEAR 10S

for me it was the frikking relationship question

between Lan and little dog

i just didnt get the text

i just gave up on that tbh cause if i spent anymore time trying to comprehend it i would have ran out of time for the essay

 

[🍑 this is a peach]

i also managed to write a conclusion for the first time ever... even though my whole essay was kinda shit

oh shit, i interpreted that as a person and their grandma in a quick skim of the thing. Rip there goes my 19/20 to a cheeky 16/20 xD

Day 1 finished, and ready for the next day.
Also quite surprised at a student in Studies who finished the whole exam in 55 minutes, not sure if English Studies students are getting smarter or they just guessed and bs the whole exam.
Also, didn’t any feel like to shit in the exam? I generally thought I had to go to the bathroom and take a shit.

I interpreted that text as the relationship extending beyond their occupations through storytelling.
