A huge congratulations to everybody who sits the VCE English exam.

After the exam, use this thread to discuss it! What were the best bits? What were the worst? Did you finish the exam?

At least section C was alright, plenty to analyse.

The exam was actually alright. I agree section C was pretty good. My section B also went pretty well. I am just concerned about section A. Other than that my exam went pretty well.

Bit of a mixed bag. Section C and Section 1 were really good. In fact, my section A prompt was so similar to my sac. Section B .... even my teachers agreed that the prompts left a lot to be desired.

hey guys! i’m literally spiralling right now because of how much i screwed up the english exam. english is supposed to be me strongest subject and me results for Unit 3 is 90% and Unit 4 96%. However, I literally froze on the exam and wrote like 7 pages for Language Analysis and 2.5 pages each for the other essays with my comparative being the worst essay i’ve written since year 9 i’m legit expecting like a 2-4 per essay because it was so horrible. I legit didn’t even write most of what I did on my practice essays. Is there hope my exam won’t screw my chances of getting a 25 study score? I’m ranked around the 20’s out of a cohort of 200 for english I’m praying my SAC marks somehow get me the 25 for the course
class of 21’

subjects: glopol (2020) english economics philosophy further

Hey everyone,
Just wanted to quickly ask, I am 99% sure that I didn't forget but I may have forgotten to write my student number on the exam booklet.
Is there anyone here that knows if this will be a problem?

Thanks and congrats everyone for making it past the English exam!

Hi,

I am not sure what will happen  but I am pretty sure if you would have forgotten then they would have asked you to fill it. As in my school they were checking front page. So if your number was missing they would have quickly figured it out and asked you to fill it.

I need to know if I will lose marks for not referring to the second article and points beside the main the article in the language analysis English exam. I felt fairly confident in my other 2 essays but forgot to refer to the points on the side of the article in the language analysis. I've had A and A+ grades with all my SAC's this year (%'s aren't given) and went in confident until I realised I forgot to add/refer to these points. I feel now I have lost a potential A/A+ grade in my exams and lost a grade.  What are your thoughts on how much this counts for and what marks I would likely get / lose. I come from a top private boys school so was hoping my SAC's might go up as well.

Exams are only available once VCAA publishes them which might be early next year, but if your school has kept the booklet you may be able to ask them to see it
Edit: has been found
