Re: English ESL paper 2 and listening

..when i read the paper 2 i was like wtf.. they didn't ask for my related text .. It was a joke man... i prepared so much for my related text and didn't get to use it... damn it.. the living in the community part was alright , quite similar to the trial. I found the listening was so damn much easier then my trial.. The question is very straightforward... overall , it was a fair exam.. :(

Gosh, if they asked for a related text, it would have been a heaven for me.Disappointed that they didn't.
And listening. What was the real difficulty? Weren't past HSC questions similar or harder?

Not only that but it's to do with her tone of voice.
Edit: as True2azn said
And for the psychologist one, you need to have emotional responses as well as physical ones.

I want to be careful about writing here.I wonder if anyone hasn't done it due to special reasons yet.
Do you think there will be people who hasn't done the exam visiting this website?

fore sure they will not get a chance to do it.
once u miss the exam its either u get a 0 or if u have doctor cerd, they will use ur trials and assessments marks. so yeah dont worry.
HSC exams is important. once u miss it ur GG.

Hmm, I doubt this.It will be terrible if they actually use people's assessment marks. What if a school makes really easy assessments, giving 97?
