Weird weightings for Trials?? (1 Viewer)

[SadCeliac]

no like in our school we do 2 sets of trials, so we do the CSSA trials and our own independent trials, so one would be 30% and the other 35%, but now they said we're only doing CSSA which is 60%

Oh what? That's... weird. We only have one set of trials

Great - now I'm questioning what's normal

Oh I'm just dumb I think that's the nesa required weightings mb

nah it's not the required weightings, there are some tho, idk them off the top of my head, but its something like each assessment is minimum 15% and the max for one is 40%. ours was 20, 30, 20, 30 cause we had a half yearly which had two sections worth 30% instead of just one section like it sounds like most of you had

Oh fair enough I guess

So should you only memorise the structure as well as the quote and analysis parts of the essay and then mould the rest of it in relation to the question?

I'd say memorise quotes and analysis. You can memorise the structure if you like, but on the exam day you might find your structure changes depending on how you think you can best answer the question. Just go in with an open mind and you shouldn't run into any trouble.

Ngl that's easier said than done - I get worried that I'll mix up my analysis or have the wrong quotes prepared...

Facts all of these requirements are so annoying

 

[SadCeliac]

Is anyone else's school doing this?

Guys I'm starting to worry - I did some cheeky calculations in the shower (as you do), and:

In terms of all this weighting for internals...

My Mod B is worth half my trials
My Mod A and C are both worth one sixth each
My Paper 1 Sec1 and Common Mod are both worth one twelfth each

Yet everything is out of their regular marks (out of 20 per mod, I think?)

Wtf.

In terms of all this weighting for internals...

My Mod B is worth half my trials
My Mod A and C are both worth one sixteenth each
My Paper 1 Sec1 and Common Mod are both worth one twelfth each

Yet everything is out of their regular marks (out of 20 per mod, I think?)

Wtf.

that sucks

Not it saying "sixteenth" because I made a dumb typo

The analysis is derived from the quotes, so I don't see how you could mix them up. And you need to use the strongest, most important quotes in whatever your text is so you can adapt them for whatever your arguments going to be. I did this and ended up with a band 6.

ngl tho sometimes i mix up my context of specific quotes so badly that my essay ends up mix-matched

Congratulations on the band 6!

I'm just not the most confident person with writing - I fully understand what you're saying though. It's definitely something to work on for HSC, maybe a bit late for trials, but yeah, I see your point. Thanks

I guess I'll just stick with trying to memorise the quotes and analysis and see where it goes

Ready for this insane mod b eliot summary I literally just wrote two minutes ago?

Preludes: Physical decay of modern world caused by mechanisation and industrialisation
Prufrock: Paralysing uncertainty of modern man causes spiritual decay and inability to progress
Hollow Men: Lowest point of modern man (post WWI): trapped in purgatory, yet trying to search for greater meaning, unable to move forward without spirituality
Magi: Whilst not easy or comfortable, spiritual journey is ultimately rewarding and allows for a progression to a place of natural beauty
