Now that many people's Trials are over, have you guys gotten your marks back? How have you done? Good, bad, indifferent?

 

[Trigger189]

for extension i got 45/50 - WOO! stuffed up my essay tho

 

[asha_ramirez]

hehe im doing my ex1 trial tomorrow, scared scared scared! damn postmodernism, and a useless teacher... argh

 

[zhongie]

Good luck for Postmodernism!

Remember, just use the conventions for your 'creative' part! And do you know what you're talking about? Don't randomly quote Lyotard, Barthes, Derrida, etc!

What supplementary are you using?

 

[asha_ramirez]

Mm I think I know what I'm talking about, I should be alright... but I have 2 major works due tomorrow as well as the english exam which i havent done any study for tonight. Maybe I don't know what I'm talking about... Supplementary? hahaha ahh I'm so failing.

 

[glycerine]

supplementary - ie related material

I did barely any study and I got 94% (47/50).

I think some schools didn't use a lot of foresight when scheduling trials tho.

 

[Atotoi]

JEEEEEEEEZZZZZ , compared to all of you i went sOOOOOOOO CRAp!!!

I got 33/50 and topped the class :S

However... my teacher is british lol and we only have 3x 40 minute classes a week :S.... damn my stupid industrial tech-based high school.

 

[glycerine]

i have 2 x 50 minute classes a week for ext

 

[zhongie]

I got 49/50...just to answer my own thread.

Lost my mark on the 'creative' part. Wasn't very creative.

 

[Atotoi]

How do i get a better mark?
ALl i can really do is know my texts, develop my essay's and hmmm
How did you do so well glycerine & Zhongie?!?!? I want to be getting those same marks for the HSC

How do i do so??

How often do you study?

 

[jhakka]

[Sonik]

umm, i actually didn't study, and that's where i lost my marks - the second question you could just bullshit with a bit of theory thrown it (i got full marks for that), the essay question i only got 22/25, because i didn't study hard enough.

what elective are you doing? if it's postmodernism i can help out...

 

[Atotoi]

ohhhhh... hmm
im doing Retreat from the Global..
and its weird because in our first term of the HSC, our teacher taught us some work by Leotard, Derrida, etc on Philosophy and then went onto some parts of Post modernism...which isnt in our course?!?!?!

 

[glycerine]

yeah, but rftg is a post-modern concept, so it ties in.
rftg is theory-based as well i think, do you have some token quotes to throw in? i.e. i just put in random shit like "we are in society and society is in us" to make it look like i had done my research

i am not a good example for the record. try and emulate the person who got 49/50, they probably *did* study ; )

 

[Atticus.]

is 36 out of 50 a decent mark or am i fucked?
really?

 

[persephone]

i got 38/50. that was 8th in my class
not that happy
but at least i passed with the lack of study i did

 

[televators]

44/50

25/25- critical response- Crime Fiction

19/25- 'creative' response (for anyone that did the CSSA trial, it wasnt very creative for that genre question, was it?) lol

 

[Atotoi]

hehe I agree Turbotom.. i got 33 and thought i went great........
After seeing what everyone else got in the forum... i almost feel like ive wasted my time!

 

[zhongie]

Haha, Sonik. I'm glad you dedicated your first post to me...but no. I only got my mark after I started the thread...

As for studying tips...basically I just make notes on all the texts I have, pick out all the conventions of postmodernism, which I linked back to theorists...
