When did you start concentrating wholly on Paper1? (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter Sparcod

The HSC english papers are a joke. Ethnics like me are getting band 6 marks which I think is stupid. Anyways, all you have to do for paper one is memorize two of your fantastic essays and smash 'em in as fast as you can so you can reserve all your time for the poety, comprehension part. What I've learnt is that the more you write for section one the more chances you have of saying something that gets you a mark. But you will require more time for that. So it's imperative you finish your essays as quickly as possible. So start today. Not tomorrow. Best of luck playboy.

I don't really know if you can study for questions 1 or 2.
Oh you can for 2. Basically, any story can be linked to the stimulus they provide u.

makes the woosh noises
i've been doing vague study for it all week... just making notes on all the skrzynecki poems (u know it still takes me forever to spell that name), the stimulus texts and mapping out potential stories. i'm pretty sure i'll be okay for the essay. you cant really study for the first bit since its all unseen. i've been concentrating on the creative coz i always seem to get caught out with a stimulus or whatever that doesnt fit any of my ideas. so yeah i have a bank of like 12 now...im prepared 
. but yeh im a bit over the essay bit. i'll study for it properly tomorrow.

Note to self "studying english all day is a really bad idea" not only do u get incredibly bad hand cramps but you become bored out of your brain.
I started at 9am its now 4pm... I' am so tired and so bored I dont want to look at my english essays again until the exam. But I know come tommorow nerves will have me going hell for leather writing them out.
Its annoying as hell but because I can't concentrate on any other subject, I try and do maths or biology and all I can think about is dam journeys!!! grr!!!

Technically on Monday, when I came to realise that paper 1 was on Friday.
But over the last few days, I've been doing about 85% paper 1 and 15% paper 2 study. I want to actually have a bit of a break on the weekend and not have to cram 3 modules in that period.
