Bro my english teacher is a demon he literally said that before failing 1/3 of the cohort in our first assignment. Im honestly scared of english teachers. They say one thing but do another.

I'm already in Year 12, or I'm starting HSC? hahaha. Just finished Year 11. English is the only subject I'm feeling a scared for. At least maths/phys they don't trip you up like this. I'm just worried my english teacher's gonna troll the cohort this year.

How was english for you so far? Did it go rough or did covid gave you extra time to prepare?

Cry myself to sleep ever-day because of it. Its rough. To make it worse our school choose some random text for mod b which had no resources :(

I had to take days of school to just grind english in the hope I would get a decent mark so my parents wouldn't disown me :(

All the best with english, hoping the best for you all I'll probably be freaking out somewhere one year from now. I'm going to put more attention towards it seeing your guys posts. Tbh English makes me more motivated to study maths/phys so its not all that bad.

Yea gl. I think its just my dodgy as teacher make it harder then it should be but it is what it is. Apparently its really easy to get a band 5-6 in HSC tho for eng.

But the thing for eng the more effort you put it in the less you get out lol. So if i put in 300 hours extra for an assessment I would only get one mark extra than I would off without sweating :(

I've heard people just mainly use exemplars they get off someone else then just adjust it slightly and they do as good? but apparently the new syllabus for english makes it harder to prepare for the questions? Is it still worth it to just memorise/adjust an exemplar?

Bro exactly pisses me off. Billy from the drop kick class puts like 10 hours in his assignment and gets the same mark as me. After I spend 200 hours grinding and sending drafts to my tutors and own english teachers who say iTs GrEaT sUbMiT iT. What do I see? 14/20. What does Billy see? 15/20.

(Based on a true story- me and my friend jokingly did Billy's assignment in 10 minutes and he scored higher). But the assignment was a shitty poster + reflection.

Yes thats why I stopped sweating as hard. Now I just grind eco, phys , business and math. Instead of allocating 25 hours towards English I can get 95+ in each of these and boost my ATAR by 2.35.

In stark contrast, If i sweated english my mark for eng would only be 0.213% higher. While, the other subjects would drop by 8.7% which would only bolster ATAR by 0.0123.
