I don't see this thread up anywhere so I guess I'll start it.

How did everyone go in Paper 2.

I think I went alright. Got a bit of a shock with the Wilfred Owen question cos we'd been told they could only specify 2 and they had 3. I still think I did alright though.

Section I I knew the most on so I wrote heaps on that - 3 pages

Section II well as I said the using 3 poems bit through me a bit

Section III - I had like a conversation so that was pretty easy. I could have refered to my second text better though.

hmm I have IPT tomorrow too, good luck

for me today pretty good exam too weren't so difficult, had a bit of shock for module A though but it was alright in the end, total of 14 pages for me

for module a it was about how dialogue represent human interactions

for module b it was how owen convey his idea through his poems

for module c it was conflict between two friends about the topic of individual and institutions

that is based on my school chosen modules

Well we were told to prepare 4. Our teacher said even when it says "at least THREE poems" it actually means four.
Anyway, i was a bit thrown by the conversation. I mean ive never written anything like that but it wasnt too difficult.

The Wilfred Owen question I can't remember it exactly. Hmm let me think.... I'll get back to you on it. Does anyone else remember it?

We were told to know all of them because they can specify one in the question, but that in the question they could only ask for at least TWO poems to be refered too.

I doubt that if they say at least three they mean four otherwise they'd just say four. Plus they can't mark you down if you only use three and they can't give you more marks for using four. It's just a matter of how you use them to answer the question.

The exact question was : " Explain how the set poems you have studied communicate ideas effectively to the reader. Refer in detail to at least THREE of the set poems"

As for the amount of poems we have to refer to, i would never trust those awful people at the board of studies. I referred to four because thats what we were told. Meh guess it doesnt matter now.

Ye we were told that too but I've done exam papers where they haven't given the whole poem they've just given one or two lines.

I came first at my school, for standard

Only got 70% though, like 73/105 or something of the like

Fact is that most people who do standard are pathetically stupid so someone like me can beat them all on 1 hours study for each exam ^_^


anyways, im still bathing in the glory.

Should have kept with advanced.

Note: came 5th in one section and first in the other two (i went realy bad in the skryzynecki & provided sources papers and still got 5th with 50% in that part)
Kicked the absolute crap outta everyone else for the other two sections, especially institution and the letter question.

I still cant get over how easy standard is, considering my poor marks in everything else

That exam brought new meaning to the word f***ed. The questions were reasonable, but talk about race against the clock!

How did you people go in Briar Rose? The highest mark in my grade for that section was 10/20. Maybe my teachers are hard markers. Did anyone get a good mark for that section? I wanna an example of a perfect essay.
