7 minute limit? That seems pretty long to me. My advice is to cut unnecessary words and use pronouns. It helped cut mine from a 7 minute speech to just over 6 min. Good luck!

We have to speak for 8-10min!

Well, I have a minute long video which adds to the time, so hopefully the teacher won't consider that part of it. :/ And will take your advice and cut out on unnecessary words. :)

Oh gosh, very lucky! I think the teacher's put a 5-7 minute limit because most students have difficult achieving that. I doubt I'll be penalized for going over the time limit. (hopefully. :P)

I thought that a 7 minute time limit was going to be too long but after I gathered all of my information and started writing, I actually found it hard to keep the speech under 7 minutes.

Same case with me, only if this happened while writing an essay :/

I'm a very slow writer too. Last year, the maximum number of words I could write in 90 minutes was about 600-700 words. When I force myself to write long essays, by the the third or fourth paragraph, I feel like everything I'm writing is pure bullshit that makes no sense.

Post by: jeanweasley on March 05, 2013, 06:11:21 pm: Got 18/20. :(
So cut that everybody mostly got 19 and they didn't even try. I guess it was because she didn't get my persona. :( My teacher last year encouraged this so meh, I'm quite depressed.

What scores do you need to get a 50 in English roughly?

Post by: catnus on March 06, 2013, 09:19:42 pm: 20/20 So stoked when I saw it. Thought that my persona was a bit too formal to be persuasive.
Title: Re: How'd everyone go on their oral presentation ? :)
Post by: DetteAmelie on March 17, 2013, 09:18:19 pm: 18/20 - I am pleased with my score.
Not too sure how I went with the comparative language analysis SAC though, I am estimating a 15-17/20.
Edit: I got 17/20 for my language analysis.

It depends on the strength of your cohort (which is important in ranking) and how they perform in the exam, but generally you want to be losing 2ish marks/SAC so that you're sitting on early-mid 90s for your SAC total for each semester. Your end of year exam performance has a big impact too - a near perfect exam score can scale an early 90s SAC score to a 100 with a decent cohort :)

So don't worry about dropping 2 marks for an oral, 18/20 is still a great mark!
