[lolcti]

wait so the predictions for adv is like
common mod text specific
mod a maybe extract
mod b extract
mod c imaginative?

yes but mod c imaginative/discursive + reflection

 

[bigbird102]

A reflection seems too straight forward for nesa as it would follow a pattern. I reckon 15 marker and 5 short answer-like question. But they could also pull a 20 marker out again considering how bad last yr's cohort did in it.

 

[reniiiblaseee]

is a 300 word reflection enough to memorise or should i do more

 

[Anononthehunt]

I think they'll do a reflection considering this is the last year before the syllabus changes for 2026 where they get rid of the reflection section entirely. Also if they don't do an imaginative option for mod c I'm going to crash my car into the NESA offices

 

[lolcti]

Tbh people do really bad in reflections I’m just hoping it’s 5 marks max but they might do 8 like trials.. I don’t think they’d do a 10 marker again

The syllabus for yr 12 doesn't change next year though. It changes the year after. I feel like they'll probably do a stimulus analysis question or a 5 mark reflection with maybe 15 mark imaginative/persuasive??

Ohhh damn I didnt know that.. hm yeah I can see them doing that then

 

[bigbird102]

anyone think they'll do the mod c trick where they make u write from a place or perspective from a module u studied. tho i think if they did this it would be a 20 marker and would mean surely either mod a or b would be easier

 

[samdaman33]

surely not bruh

 

[Bob123d3gt41]

Surely theyres an imaginative option this year cus thats the only thing ive memorised

 

[Bob123d3gt41]

Also any tips on short answer cus idk my school marks it insanely strict i only got a 12/20 for Short answer despite clear techniques and analysis and links back to question, and when asked for reasoning they just make up stuff idk

if your school is super harsh i wouldn't worry about it in the actual hsc. my school is the same and my trial marks for comprehension stepped up crazily when it was externally marked. as long as you keep doing what youre doing you should be fine

 

[99.95dreams]

i dont want a reflection omg i hope it is the comp 5 marker

thank you.

In my opinion you should aim for 400 ideally for a 10 marker reflection (around 2 body paragraphs)

don't worry the markers will probably be more lenient in the hsc, however I would refer to the common mod rubric + rephrase the question instead of repeating it for more marks (that's how I got full marks in trials)
also use the (marks-1) techniques rule

 

[lolcti]

In my opinion you should aim for 500 ideally for a 10 marker reflection (around 2 body paragraphs)

Wtf no 10 marker is 350 max

 

[smiskis]

Wtf no 10 marker is 350 max

are you going to write only 350 words for Part A if it's worth the same amount of marks then ? just a general question

I'm assuming you mean for the imaginative/discursive/persuasive? 350 words is way too less for that. I think maybe 600 words for 10 or 12 marks and like 700 for 15 marks, and somewhere from 800-1000 for 20 marks.

I literally wrote like 600 words for my trials worth 15 marks and got 15/15 for it.

I think they can I just came across a trial question like that
