English paper 2 - WTF?? (1 Viewer)

[Crazy]

nope i wasnt surprised with the exam at all...haha wasnt surprised cos i didnt really know anything diff beforehand...like the only exam id seen was my half yearly and trial....hadnt even seen last years exam hahahahahah

so yeah it was all good, nice broad questions...interpret them your own way, add a little twist, beautiful

and with the change paper i actually guessed that they'd stick four texts in....my teacher agreed its possible so we'd been practicing with 4 texts at school! and then using 2 for a 6 mark question...but god saying why the texts should go on the cd, that was ridiculous

I feel the same as u guys! my assessment mark was 94, and i was soooo counting on english it's the only thing i studied for! waa waa!!!.
Now i have to cram for maths, extension 1 and legal, do u guys sgt and jen do extension??

Hey u know whats cool though?in the AOS i knew that joni mitchell song cos i play it all the time on guitar anyway

i threw in some 'sophisticated' terms in an attempt to up my mark but when i flicked through it they made no sense what so ever....
it's over though, so we should all stop bitchin

 

[Jenjen]

YEP I do 4U english!!
i do postmodernism for 3U and am so so freaked like crazy that they'll make us do a totally creative one- I'd be so screwed!! haha

I've never heard of your school SgtSlick
But hey thats cool- little schools are cool! I get lost in mine
Catch ya!

 

[Jenjen]

Settle!

Go somewhere else if you can't stoop so low to try and be nice to people- idiots or not!

PS- thanks for the Handy Hint on what the purpose of an exam is-
i keep like forgetting i'm like such a retard!

 

[SgtSlick]

Me an idiot, how did u guess?

Nice call, and by the way as Jenjen already pointed out, knobhead, apart from you needing to fix your grammar, we are aware of what exams are all aboit. But the BOS is required to "...keep students informed as to the layout and style of examination style questions, as proposed in the Specimen papers of each respective exam..."
So again, thanks for help with the definition of an exam.
And for the record, Im only an idiot 2 days a week, you caught me on a good day....

I thought the exam was stupid. The Frontline question was so pathetic and the Transformations one was just really poorly worded. The Critical Study (Lear) wasn't too bad. I thought the conversation wasn't too bad. I just hope the extension english exam is better. I think i'll cry if it's really hard...i need my 3 and 4 unit english to cancel out my almost certain fail in maths!!!

There was nothing particularly surprising about the exam.

It's the second year of the HSC, and looking at the mod A and C questions, they must've ran out of questions to ask already...!

Imagine what next year's questions would be like.

It's an embarassment to all the english-speakers in the world...

Sorry, there's a lot of posts that I have to go through every day so I usually don't take the time to fluff them up and make them sound nice. I apologise for my bluntness.

paper 2 sucked

well I found out we didn't learn 3/4 of our John Donne topic, Emma/Clueless my teacher said were to be studied as 2 different texts not compared ( I knew this was b/s so I did it the right way to prepare for the HSC, but as a con my assesment makrs went down cause she marked it her way ) and well we didn't really get time to do Julius Ceasar as our "teacher" was organising her holiday to overseas, learing computer courses and buying houses in beverly hills... dumb B!T(H.... so I hope I did ok, but I dunno anymore I thought that teachers were supposed to teach, but when I tried to talk to my principle he said I can't do anything anyway... so I guess whats done is done.. fingers crossed all goes well, hope no other schools have to face what our class did, there were a lot of un happy ppl after paper2.

GOOD LUK AND BEST WISHES...
and a word of advice don't reley on "just" your teahcer if you feel something is wrong.
