what did you guys think about both papers? almost all of my predictions were wrong except the one for imaginative piece of writing and for paper 2 question 1 about identity
All my predictions are wrong as well. I feel like paper 2 is quite easy, especially the listening paper. Most parts of paper 1 is quite challenging cuz of the weird questions, i.e. curiosity about the world, which I absolutely flunked. Courage was pretty bad as well. This paper was surely harder than all past hsc, maybe not 2019, so scaling should be fine hopefully.
what texts did you have for courage and for paper 2 in questions 1 and 2, I had my people by Oodgeroo Noonuccal for courage, I had Swallow the Air for identity in and I had the Truman show for question 2 of paper 2 about evoking empathy, I did do good in paper 1 for courage as my text can be interpreted in many ways, imaginative was hard not gonna lie,
I had Past the Shallows for courage, which was a bit unrelated but still acceptable, not as good as Mod B & C. Mod B is Asian Contemporary Poetry which I think I did pretty well. Mod C is Truman Show which is also good. My prepared imaginative is just inapplicable to curiosity which I made up on the spot, lacking some quality.
