Thoughts on Paper 1 of the CSSA Trial Exam (1 Viewer)

[Wassup?]

are you calling me a liarr?

I'm not calling you a liar. You might've just misheard the teachers saying that it's $100/paper and you thought they'd said $100/student.

For the heritage thing I spoke about the old lady and how her journey of keeping the house the way it is.

Today's paper was worth 15% while tomorrow's paper is also worth 15%.
For a total of 30% for our English Trials!!

I'm stressing out about Paper 2, its gonna be heaps hard I think.

It was good - easy if you had prepared your essay and creative writing! . Luckily for us it wasnt assessable! however, tomorrows paper is worth 15% .

I actually planned my story but I didn't read the question properly. I just looked at the quotes, picked one and started writing!

 

[DaveYoung]

My estimates for each section are as follows:

Section 1: 3/15
Section 2: 13/15
Section 3: 5/15

Paper 2 is gonna kill me. Just lucky this has no relevance to my future at all.

I'm worried about Paper 2.

Like what do we have to know for King Lear and Blade Runner/Brave New World? :burn:

 

[MoncheSlonche]

so everyone got the same trial paper? i thought schools did trials dif? :S righto.
study hard kids and please have supplementary material and the slightest idea of what your going to write unlike myself.

That's weird, i got a totally different exam...

And my paper 2 exam is on Friday, so i have a while longer to prepare

 

[sophy2008]

um, pretty sure it sucked.
some schools make their own - so thats why some people woluda been different.

keep in mind heapssss of people haven't done theirs yet
i wish i hadn't - i'm pretty sure i ruined comprehension because I didn't read the story the whole way through.... grr.:angry:

 

[sophy2008]

Quick question - what did everyone put for a) for Section 1?

The question was like "Identify one type of journey present in this text"

i wrote about how they're a journey in time because they provide a link between the past and the present

 

[Rfelt110191]

I wrote about how the text explores the journey and continuation of universal symbols and thus understanding throughout time... too much?

arghhhhhh

i just remembered that i forgot to insert on of the quotes in the short story arghhh soo annoyed!! i was just so rushed.

any thoughts anyone about what my maximum mark could now be given the story itself was pretty good, pre-approved by my teacher.

I AM SUCH AN IDIOT!!!

post your thoughts on the exam... personally i loved it.

MY prepared story fitted perfectly with the theme of journey's in time

i thinkEVERYONE prepared a story cept me!
devvooo

 

[janna08]

arghh i spent an hour on section 3, which i did first and then 40 mins on sect 2 and 20 on sect 1 - comprehension is so fucked, i thought it would be easy....

 

[gem.in.rough]

I thought the exam was AWFUL!! I felt sooo unprepared and the questions really threw me. But I suppose that's fine seeing I didn't do as much study as I aimed to actually do. The worst was Question 2 - totally ran out of time and my story sounded like a cheap children's book. Ahhh! Frustrated.

Anyway... tomorrow will be far worse. Got to always remember the age-old quote: "The worse is yet to come." Ok, I think I'm procrastinating here. Don't really want to study for tomorrow... suppose I should.
