English ruins the HSC experience (1 Viewer)

Speaking of english, are you guys just learning and memorising essays?
or learning your notes

Cause I just did notes, incase I stuff up trying to memorise an essay.

 

[gordo]

learn notes, concepts examples quotes etc
memorising essays = no. period.

 

[mattsta]

wtf
Its maths that is hard, because there is (usuallly) only one answer!

Thats what makes it easier.

If you learn the method to the question, you can only come up with one answer.

English is very bias. I recon the markers also mark your opinion.

 

[malkin86]

you're supposed to just give them their opinion back at them... and pretend it's your own.

 

[Crikket]

lol, in my case, it's usually the wrong answer i come up with in maths

What's this TD? Is that Textiles and Design?

I'm fine with Eng... I don't need to study for EE1 till the day before... I'm not good with Transformations though...

I'm ok with General...

but I'm pretty screwed with Ancient History and Textiles. It's not hard, there's just SO MUCH of it, and particularly for Textiles, there's a whole lot of pointless information with no linking to anything else whatsoever and you have to run around trying to memorise it all even though they'll only test you on line, 20% of all the stuff you had to study. I have 5 A4 FOLDERS, JUST FOR TEXTILES!!!!!!!!!!

I rekon textiles and ancient are te hardest to
there is just so much for textiles
and u won't even get questions on three quarters of it
which really annoys me
the MTP in textiles is wat i found really stressful

the only thing i have trouble in eng with
is getting all the info down in the time limit

as for modern i find that okay (depends what question they chuck me)

and maths i can just do that which is good i don't have to stress over that one
but i kinda am now coz i have all the expectations on me

i knew everything bout maths last week. now i have forgotten everything because i have been focusing on english.
just interested to know, wen u guys study are u doin just english because its only 2 days away or are u still rehashing points from other subjects aswell as studying for english at the same time.
this week ive forgotten about everything else and just focused on english and business as they are on the first week. dunno if this is a good study technique but ill find out if it works soon

 

[Armani]

If you have been studying your other subjects English at this moment should be your main concern as it is the first exam. I actually found the English curriculum quiet stimulating as it paves the way for university study.

 

[mizz_smee]

"no answers are wrong"

but i still manage to get them wrong somehow

 

[smallcattle]

the thing i hate about english is that there is no defined answer... you could be thinking you have produced the best eassy you have ever done, and then in the end it turns out to be the worst writing ever

 

[Sarah168]

English is not bad. I can think of worse subjects...

 

[Paroissien]

And in general you will know when you have written a good essay. Unless you're an idiot

 

[rainonmay]

i dont like english... its the only one where i dont have enough to write..

 

[Li0n]

at least we get rid of it first

I'm just rewriting essays as that's the way I study =/ and yeh i can actually remember the content/quotes/etc after rewriting 3-4 times =)

 

[Giant Lobster]

English is just gay period.

Too much effort for a 2u subject.
Rather do an ext2 math exam instead of english
Maybe rather do two... in a row...
