question about HSC exam. (1 Viewer)

[bboyelement]

When the supervisors say 'pens down' and if i have like 2 more sentences to write ... will i lose marks by continuing on writing to finish it off, like in the trials it seemed fine but i was wondering if its possible as the HSC exam rules are more strict. i mean a finished conclusion in way better than an unfinished one, also my english is a little bit too long and i cant seemed to cut it down.

nar im pretty sure u have to put ur pen down straight aaway. u might get away with one or two words, but not 2 whole sentences..

Just keep writing untill the supervisor tells tells you again to stop writing, its not like they are going to cancel you HSC just because of that. It also depends where you are sitting, like someone in the middle will get a bit more leniency than someone right at the front. But max you could probably get is 1 sentence.

You have to put your pens down when they say to

 

[$hiftyIceQueen]

would they make you lose marks if you keep writing?

rip your paper, the extra shit u wrote

the ppl who watch ur exams arent actually markers. theyre just paid to stand there and watch over us. so they have no authority to take marks off. just scribble those few lines till they are screaming at you to put ur pen down. though i did it in the half yearly and ppl in my yr were angry at me like 'thats so not fair'. who gives a shit you prob wont see them again anyway. just do it.

It depends how much guts you've got. Do it if you reckon you can get away with it at the time. I think you could, maybe a sentence? I would lol so hard if they took marks off you though (no offence)

Your peers will dislike you. That is all.

also depends if u can actually concentrate with the deep exhales of relief and the shuffling of paper, the pens being put down.

try it. it won't hurt .. much. lol

Yes you can keep writing until the supervisers tell you to stop the second time.

If at 5 mins too u still have a fair bit to write stop. leave like 10 lines and put everything else in dot points. Then if u still have time go bak and write more. If u go over time the supervisor can write a not on your paper saying you did so and it will be noted by the markers so i would not suggest doing it unless u have 2 words to go!


I did almost a page of dot point for english extended responses coz i run out of time most teachers will suggest it and markers will mark you on teh content in the summarised points too!
