Ngl only just realised this forum exists, I figured it’d be nice to be able to talk here instead of the “has anyone started their prelims yet?” thread

How has everyone’s first week of year 12 been?

stressful already, I stuffed up my year 11 results and don't know if I can redeem my grades in time for uni. But, we're coping

i've got around ~200. it was a bit of a shock when i first entered high school, i came from a school where each grade had less than 50 kids

Read exemplars and then take what’s good about them

Thanks I guess that’s a good idea, it’s still a bit frustrating to not get much feedback though

~160! We used to have just under 200 but a fair few people have dropped out

Good luck, I’m sure you can make a comeback - I’ve heard lots of stories of people who have!

I think it’s pretty hard to give good feedback for English. Because u would just say rephrase this etc, maybe include this (maybe not include it because you might ruin something else). as much as u change an already written essay the underlying structure/ideas/way u write will largely keep your mark in the same region. Make sure ur ideas are solid and learn from exemplars and u shud be fine.

a word of advice regarding the common module, based on the feedback I've received and the feedback I've seen given to my peers as well as words from my teacher, you need to consistently link back to terms of the rubric, which in turn are meant to provide us new insights about humans and human experiences. it's not enough to just talk about how this idea affects another and how they all act paradoxically or inconsistently, you need to talk about why the composer did that in their text and what they wanted to let us know about who we are as humans and our experiences

definitely look at exemplars, but also try to develop sophisticated ideas of your own and do your own research into your texts fto further your understanding

Your schools are built different. My school has at max 35 new year 7s, and I dont even go to a rural school

 

[carrotsss]

Our assignments are in week 8 or smth i think bc we have a timetable where we do them all in a week. Our assessments are in-class but we get the questions beforehand (for some theyre exams tho), its like exam-style
