German Continuers (1 Viewer)

oops, i feel stupid (ignore above post). Just read they do it for all subjects....
Mainly wondering if anybody had any news from people from past years. e.g. some expected a mark of about 80, but then was happily surprised when their final mark was in the 90s.

I don't know for sure, but i was under the impression that German gets aligned favourably by both BoS and UAC, but i'm not entirely sure if so, and how much, but my guess is that continuers languages are at the more difficult end of the subject spectrum.

i'm pretty sure that all languages get scaled up quite nicely, that's what our teacher told us. plus you can (hopefully) rely on your classmates to do well so that will also boost your mark.

My teacher said she once had this girl in a Japanese class that would only ever crape past 50 on all her work, and in after her HSC exam her mark was scaled up to 75!

Listening didn't give enough time to write stuff down

I wrote the listening one in german but i stuffed it up anyway

I hated the stupid questions which wern't really even german related such as the ones about the guys language in the convo......

Yes it was a bit strange to talk about technique!

Will any of you be discouraged if you don't get above 80? I mean, in my opinion I don't care what I get because I know that I can hold a conversation and I don't care what markers think.

mmm..depends what u mean by discouraged. Of course i'd be annoyed (it'd bring the uai down ;-) ) but would my pride be hurt? nahhh. I know i can hold a fairly decent conversation
