2024 HSC Chat (55 Viewers)

[Legendary16]

chat is 1150 words for discursive + reflection too long?
i can write the discursive (700 words) in 19m

700 words is good for a 15 and 5 split, but it looks like you're prepared for a 10+10 which is insane

The 14th will have everyone scrambling

Bcuz honestly most ppl have got to the point of yes this is the final exam I'm gonna take and its all gonna be over. In reality we shouldn't stress, there's nothing to be stressed about lol. Most of us are prepared and just waiting to face the enemy one last time.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

nah there no way. i think its too hard to get enough depth. plus the spread would be so big, the people who even just did a little would top the state lol

DO NOT PUT THAT INTO THE UNIVERSE RN BRO

 

[lyingsalsa]

id also like to point out mod c is only 20% of the entire paper, if you can get an extra mark in everything else you can probably nullify the effect of bombing mod c on ur atar

 

[person3024]

i full expected to fail mod c during trials but it ended up being my highest so i am fully relying on it now but i cant write discursively so im gone if they specify that

did you see the "there is light at the end of the tunnel" thread? Maybe you shouldn't look

 

[k2024]

how many quotes does everyone have over the two papers? feeling like I need to cut down asap

 

[radagastthebrown]

Discursive translates to persuasive pretty easily, I just add high modality words, maybe some personal pronouns, some more repetition and avoiding common discursive language such as 'maybe', and 'perhaps'.

I also found a really good method of (if you've only prepared discursive, or more comfortable writing in that manner), translating your discursive piece into imaginative, by delving into a character's thought process and starting with a very explicit imaginative opener, returning to that setting, but mostly writing discursive.
