[ocelle]

i'm actually so paranoid about the 3 prescribed/2 related scenario. If this happens, and I defy the question with absolutely BANGIN 25/25 2 prescribed 1 related paragraphs - how many marks could I possibly lose?

ngl if they ask 3 prescribed it'll only be 1 related surely or just 2 prescribed 2 related, but if you wrote a really good response missing one of the texts criteria i doubt you could get over a 20 max, since you've not abided by the question, but since in ext you have an hour for the critical response, I'm sure you can write a good 10 pages on your 2 prescribed 1 related and bs a small para for some other text you know not much about so you can access the higher marks yk

Trust. The q will be bangin'

 

[thelmalouise]

im manifesting now, the question will be so amazing we're guaranteed e4s, it will only be 2 prescribed texts, 1 related, a 25 marker imaginative with the best stimulus ever, or a split with the easiest questions that are so doable and we'll all get 99.95 atars and get into the unis we want

[enchantedivory27]

i am using hullabaloo as a synonym for upheaval in my essay why not yk

 

[rosieohposie]

my sincerest apologies to my heart in advance because tomorrow i am going to consume an ungodly amount of caffeine to make sure i focus in my efforts to cram before this exam.

 

[thelmalouise]

if they make us write a personal essay, are we meant to analyse the the texts we're given, or just talk about it

What is a personal essay

[thelmalouise]

What is a personal essay

that't what im saying- i think its just an essay which you talk about your response to the texts? they've had it in the hsc a couple of times

In the CSSA essay, I just made reference to the ideas from it so I could talk about other texts and theories.

I love afternoon exams for this reason

when you speak about other texts are you quoting anything? like when you walk in for question 1 do you have quotes for the theories and texts?

 

[L. Mandrake]

Maybe a bit... but not very much. Just stuff about what defamiliarisation is, and frame narratives, and modernism, and examples of these in some texts

 

[L. Mandrake]

Knowledge of the theories are probably more important than quotes from them IMO

 

[L. Mandrake]

ALSO just found out that they might not ask us to write an essay for q2.
