Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Mod B- Had Prepared Essay for Suu Kyi and Pearson.
and guess what?
wooot higher marks compared to the rest of the state for me

And yes, if you JUST relied on the extract, you would get marked down....as you needed to relate it to her construction of the whole speech....and how that revelation reshapes your judgement...i.e. repositioning the feminist views in a global framework to promote the ideas of tolerance through unity (much the same way as pearson)

So reiterate, FUCK YES BOS! LOVE YOU BBY!

lol he goes to baulko. so when he says high atar he means 99.70+

he wrote an intro for one of his essays... 99.7 isn't easy you know

He never said it was easy...

I said I didnt need a high atar, and he was just revealing what I consider a 'high atar' is as it is a relative term.

Don't be too cocky. I'll laugh if you failed your English. A lot of people like this end up failing and they have nothing to say in the end.

For hamlet i wrote how fortinbras' description of hamlet somehow links to inaction and that fortinbras admires him calling him some "royal blah blah blah" in his attempt to fight the political corruption in denmark is that somewhat right? i used the quote they gave us the whole way through

You didn't have to use it, but yeah you could highlight Hamlet's inaction using the quotes if you wanted. I had a point about inaction as well as corruption in Denmark.

It's just that, he said "he's getting a 99.7, he means it" has no validity in his statement if you've messed one of your essays up. Anyway, it's cool that you're not looking for a high ATAR like any other selective school kids, because you're realistic and only want what you need

I know many fuckers who just wants high ATAR and acts all cocky.

Hamlet is fucking confusing bro - there are SO MANY ways you can interpret the play because Shakespeare basically leaves the whole play open-ended. The extract itself could have meant two different things - the moral elevation of Hamlet or the irony of Hamlet's moral deterioration by the end of the play. The play contradicts itself; every time you try and argue something there is SOMETHING afterwards that completely shatters your thesis. I understand that speeches and essays are hard since they are disjointed texts, but Hamlet is fucking hard as well. And there is just some much material to work with - 5 acts, it's like 4 hours when played on stage. And there are so many different angles oh my god I am so glad I am rid of that text.

thats a fair argument and im not trying to say that hamlet in any case is easy, otherwise i doubt they would have set it for the advanced course, though for the question, i do think a text that consists of one entirety of one text is much easier to approach thana bunch of speeches or essays.. and how you said about it having 2 main themes that contradict, i guess if you only talked about one and backed up your evidence and it soundly answered the question, then it would work, wouldnt it? because a marker looks at what you present them, not other pieces of the text that you dont talk about.. and if that answers the question then thats all you need

Nah lol I think youre mistaken he said 'he means a high atar is 99.7' he never said 'hes getting a 99.7', my atar estimate was 98 at school which I would be really pleased with. I hope you get what you want too =) good luck with the rest of your exams!

LMAOOOOOO
Trust;
I didn't fail homedawg
A strong student who gets to insert a near perfect trial HSC response to address the question directly should not be worried. Albeit, I admit my time management wasn't too kind to my Mod C =/

Don't worry if you didn't do well in Mod B. Just know that this was an unlucky year for Harwood's friends.
BTW you would only get 15 as you didnt answer the question and only utilised 200-250 words of the required text.

the english exams wodnt have pissed me off if everybody was on a level playing field - 1 specific poem really?? even though i did hamlet and the idea of place in the crucible?? i used to 10 minutes of my reading time to think of an abstract answer to that question the only question is if marks get alligned or not

i agree completely.. all they did was give some an advantage and severely disadvantage others

That's valid, but you need to remember that each text has a separate marking criteria. So whoever else did the Crucible would be just as fucked over and so you are on a level playing field.

But if you go to past papers and look at their marking criteria it talks about belonging as a concept - no marking criteria is ever differentiated solely based on the text students use

such a releif. i had no idea they had diff marking criteria for all texts! lol!

That's the standard attachments for the public release documentation. The BOS would never make public all of their marking schemes/what is given to the HSC markers.
For god's sakes they don't even let you look at your own test paper unless you pay for it >.<"

^ cut about module b

 

[yerdau083]

I hate module b with a passion

 

[jerseyshore]

My school did speeches and we could here the english department bickering at the stupidity of Module B all the way during the exam lol

 

[treakdaddy]

this hsc was retarted i did yeats and when i came out of the exam every kid, even the top ranked kids were complaining because we and the teachers didnt think they would nominate and if they did then we assumed that they wouldn't chose the hardest poem, being among school children, but we were wrong and some classes didnt even study the poem just read over it so they were serverely screwed.

god my hsc hasnt been lucky, with the exception of the belonging story, i mean the crucible question just shafted me as well
