If in the exam you don't get to finish the conclusion, how many marks will be deducted, and what might your study score be pushed down to, if the rest of the piece was good enough to get around a 40 study score?

Sooooooo bloody good

So just keep tryingg to gather as much information from a scentence or two from any text which improves ur thinking
Also im not 100% what being able to think implies, is it your ability to gatther ideas and interpret passagges from the text

Just reasking to hopefully get it answered

Your essay is marked holistically. We like conclusions because they make for a nice well-rounded complete essay but it's not like vcaa are sitting there ticking boxes and you have to get all those boxes ticked to get a certain mark. In marking, they also keep in mind that you were under timed constraints. Aim to have a finished conclusion though if possible by way of practicing time management because an unfinished essay is not ideal.

Hope the SAC went well!

Thank you everyone who helped out by linking KANYEWEST to some essays. We are, after all, a community and the more everyone puts in, the more we get out of this great community/resource/whatever so kudos to you all.

What was the question? If it is to do with what it means to think, unfortunately, I'm going to have to pass on that question and leave it to someone more knowledgeable.

Thank you, and yes, my SAC went well, the prompt was challenging but once it was broken into simpler words it was very easy to discuss, so i am feeling somewhat confident for what i had written!

[Willba99]

Is anyone else doing their comparative SAC on Into the Wild and Tracks? If so, do you want to swap notes/practice essays? My English class is pretty small so it'd be nice to get some new viewpoints!

Hi,
For the prompt "The Longest Memory and Black Diggers show us that there are short term and long term ramifications of racism. Discuss", would you advise doing one paragraph on short term ramifications of racism in both texts and then one on the long term ramifications?
Thank you

I haven't read the texts, but as a rule of thumb I'd suggest having at least 3 body paragraphs. I don't think its actually stated in the study design, but I think if you're only doing two body paragraphs then you're at risk of not demonstrating a breadth of ideas!
