Yeah, I think I rooted it, I even think I forgot to put what question I did on the front of the yellow booklet...I'm pretty sure I did...

 

[b3nn]

i went in knowing all my texts but i just feel like i didn't write enough and what i did write wasn't up to my usual standard. modules sucks

 

[glycerine]

I'm so pissed off.

Admittedly, I barely studied, but I've been doing the course for 2 years, I know my stuff, I can write and I studied enough to have everything be fresh in my mind.

But by adding one extra poem in q7, I ran overtime, got upset and nearly cried *during* the fucking exam, lost my train of thought and fucked up not one but two out of three essays.

Fuck me.

 

[glycerine]

Fuck, it's sooo annoying when I keep posting and my posts are all over the fucking place!

one of my best mates, a very intelligent girl, good at english, didnt even have enough time to do section 2. she had to write, painfully, a "non-attempt" on her paper. assessment ranks are my best friend i think, i have never been good at exams and i never will be so i perfomed the way i expected.

even if we do fuck up, there are so many opportunities after the hsc. its not all uni, uni, uni straight away. there is tafe, there is work, there is alternative entry, there is a break and then older age entry. i honestly do not think exams are a good indication of someone's ability. it is sad that all our hard work and good marks lead to a bunch of stressful, VAGUE, time-restricting pieces of shit.

and by the way, dont the writers of the english paper embrace their ambiguity.

hey dw i thought that was such a nasty exam! I had the biggest mental blanks and its so hard to fit in what u know wen the questions dont even friggen make sense! hey just think though we never ever ever have to do english again or analyse a text *Sigh* ahhhh how blissful

don't worry...
you're not alone....
i've spent that past few weeks studying for english instead of maths and other stuff and i didn't even get to finish module C.

 

[krazy_katie777]

yep i feel like a total tool haha... i even said to my teacher before i went in.. 'im not even worried, its weird' and then i just couldnt get anything down right!!! it was so ridiculous coz i knew exactly what the questions were asking and yet i still failed to answer them.. lol and the funny thing is i wrote 30 pages... and all of it with no point! haha.. all i can do is laugh.. ive had my cry already!

 

[riley]

hey dont worry katie i know you'll get early entrace..........just think of that.
vetty told u not 2 worry you'll get it no worries

I think I went OK, but I wasn't aiming for mediocrity - I was aiming for a band 6.

Emma/Clueless: easy Q, but remembered parts of my generic essay at the wrong time so I left important quotes out. However I'm generally happy with it.

Frontline: dumped my whole generic essay perfectly and referred to the Q plenty of times, but I feel unfulfilled because the generic originally was 1500 words, and by cutting it to 1000 I took out plenty of important things.

King Lear: hit NOS as I was running out of time, so I didn't take in the Q properly, so I just crossed my fingers and dumped the generic. Remembered my generic nicely, but because I was rushing I had to skip important sentences and summarise heaps. I left out imporant important info regarding film techniques between the interpretations.

Overall, unsatisfied.

 

[Trev]

Bad.....
Above is an understatement of how I went.

 

[khairi]

I fucked up. Couldn't follow a train of thought through Cloudstreet or Frontline.. so I think they might only be average marks.
Only one I am happy with is Hamlet, because my pre-prepared essay was almost identical to the question, and I'd revised it word for word. Hopefully it saves me.

 

[krazy_katie777]

thanx riley!... yeah i probs will get it but i am still pissed off haha so much wasted time on english!!!!!! hope u went well

 

[dumfounded_me]

If I was smart:

1... I could've written better arranged answers

2... I could've remembered quotes from Emma

3... I would've read Emma in the first place

4... I would've remembered the director of my ORT for Truth and Representation.

5... I could've done well on that exam...

6... I would've written more pages instead of an average of about 7 each.

But I'm not. So I didn't.

 

[hollybox]

tired

yeah I thought I knew enough stuff but I was so TIRED i couldn't concentrate and kept thinking about other things. I also HATE all of the topics except one: hate- in the wild hate- King Lear Like- telling the truth

 

[Jexi]

Crap. That exam was sooo much harder than last year. Crap. English needs to die like now.

 

[glycerine]

The thing that gets me is that the questions themselves weren't hard. Module C fit amazingly into everything I had to say. But because of the addition of ONE FUCKING POEM there is no possible way I'm getting a band 6.

 

[alektorophobia]

arhhh!!i hate english, it is so impossible to write 3 good responses in 2 hrs. damn it..
