i highlyyyy doubt it will be persuasive, considering we spend like no time on them in school and it was an option last yr

does anyone know what the average for reading comp usually is across the state. i would feel like it is rlly high cause u just have to have like a simple and somewhat understanding of the text with the right amount of TEA's to get full marks

but is it harsh marking or what. like do they only take marks away for like if u have incomplete TEA's, incorrect techniques, not answering the question (such as judgement for evaluate) or do people just not finish reading comp but it seems most do

Yeh I think you might be right. And considering what happened with the essay question today I think we should spend more time on study what we know rather than stressing over this small slim opportunity.

They're actually not that harsh. Have a look at the band 5/6 responses they're super basic. If you're a bit more sophisticated than that you're fine.

Also I know plenty of people that either struggle with timing or just don't know the basics of analysing texts

i actually think why sometimes reading comp can be hard is that kids tend to be too sophisticated that their ideas are convoluted and don't make sense, but then again it depends on the text. Like the poem today it's hard not to be sophisticated cause its metaphorical, but stuff thats literal like text 4 u can maybe get away with being less sophisticated and just providing some form of an insight with appropriate TEA's. i would be curious what the stats are on how many kids in the state don't finish

 

[Ejitt]

there's trial questions like that right?

yeah, ascham '22 i think

 

[Ejitt]

wait wdym in class text analysis sorry for the dumb question

[Flux]

Fuck like I got an imaginative and discursive memorised but istg if they want to put a 15/5 persuasive or do some bullshit like that, NESA is gonna get nuked

Persuasive is a meme option. If you choose it, the marker will immediately think you don't take Mod C seriously.

that'd be such a prank

My English teacher told me if it is forced persuasive all of her marker friends will quit on the spot so yeah. There ain't no way they're sifting through 50 "firstly secondly thirdly" per hour.

Lol that reminds me of the persuasives I used to write in like yr5 about why uniforms should be banned.

I thought I was so smart using firstly, consequently, finally to start my paragraphs when my friends were using "firstly, secondly, thirdly"
