yeah but one of them is ee2 which is so subjective that i could either get like a 47 or a 20 depending who marks it

Oh my gosh I have the exact same fear. I love my major work and obviously I think it’s worth like 50/50, but what if the marker isn’t into the stuff I wrote about. I could really go either way and to extremes…

What did you write about??

What did you write about??

I did short fiction. It’s like an allegory on American fascism and how it’s been quietly brewing for ages. It’s focused in American 1950’s suburbia and centred around 4 neighbourhood women who are sickly sweet on the surface, but extremely rotten inside. But it strays away from cliche cause I kind of took a Chekhovian approach.

Imagine “the crucible but set in the neighbourhood of the cat in the hat (2003) movie“ kind of vibes

Wow mines the plot of you because Penn Badgley is my goat

 

[yourbestfriend]

also guys do you reckon the common mod question will solely be on paradoxes, or like just anomalies and not on all three
because if so im screwed
does anyone do vertigo, if so, how would you relate it to them? like i can sustain a paragraph on each at most so if it was all three it would be fine to complete an essay, but not one!

 

[lolcti]

I’m acc so unserious cause I chose to go to the gym in the morning and than I was too like tired to do any work the whole day.. So I did nothing and now have only 2 essays memorised n I haven’t started preparing for my other subjects either

real

 

[killer queen]

wait for paper 1 r we predicting anomalies, inconsistencies + paradoxes?

genuine question for everyone - why are we predicting this? ik it's like 'oh they haven't tested this rubric thing yet' but one HSC year was challenges which isn't explicitly in the rubric - and 2020 was text-specific so it was ultra separate from rubric...idk I don't get the logic

 

[Baliistic]

Predicting never helps just be prepared for anything gang

Also wish me luck im not gonna memorise essays I find it too inhibiting especially if they bumfuck us with the question and it has nothing to do with the essays we memorised

What im doing instead is memorising my quotes, key ideas and a few phrases that I can adapt to any question

Yo do you reckon they mark you down for writing more then the space provided?

My handwriting is messy/big and i just memorise and regurgitate, like honestly i dont even know the writing verbs.

My teacher said i will get marked down if im not concise but i dont got time to practice answering technique

 

[finncarlygarbett]

big part of exams is writing in a sophisticated way so being concise is important and also legible, readable handwriting is rlly important because you can lose meaning (and thereby lose marks) because the marker has to strain themselves to read your writing

no wayyyy they cant mark u down for more writing, hsc markers usually look more places to give u marks they never try to mark down

edit: if a section says dont write here then obv dont cuz these exams r being scanned

also ur handwriting could be an issue for markers so try to make it a bit less messy than usual

They can't mark down for messy handwriting, but it will still indirectly affect your mark, cause it causes your writing to not flow smoothly. So it might seem your writing is robotic.
