hey xD
lol ext thread gets barely any replies and adv + standard people go crazy heh.
i also did revenge tragedy.
i was pleased with the essay question, i agreed with the statement, although, i am worried i did maintain a first person approach throughout..with the whole "Do YOU agree...".
The creative threw me because of the "contemporary australian setting"...the stories I have crafted have all been in either imagined settings in more ancient times or just not particularly 'australian'. so i was trying to make it as aussie as possible. I still don't know if i took the right approach to the question, I asked my teacher after and she said it was fine...the whole imagined thing...I dunno what happened but I didn't think imagined meant 'created'..instead I was like 'imagined' = a play on the conventional aspect of the genre, of the madness of the hero/oine...nonetheless..my story still included a lot of conventions and values so i think it worked fine.

we'll see how we go! post up marks after hehe...i'm aiming for anything above 40/50...:) i think that's realistic and gives some room to improve. i'm annoyed though because i made awesome notes for the thing, but when the question is so 'weird' it kinda off puts you and makes you have to mould around everything etc etc. hopefully the hsc creative isn't silly though...:)

i wrote quiet a bit on each...less on creative, cause i actually had to think about how to write it...didn't have much prepared.

enough typing. but what do you expect from an ext student lol. :D

No one posted it up?
And isn't the security period for the papers two weeks anyway? no one would have been able to get a hold of the paper after the exam because of the security period...:)

as do i. i looked over the ones i did for my assessment task...kinda meshed it with the stimulus, but not really.
it's strange that its 25 and 25...and i spent well over 90% of my time preparing for the essay, and only a little bit of prep for the creative...:(
and i ended up spending just about even on them in the exam. creative = from the devil!
