they asked me about the differing cultures, how unique our language is and so on....

sigh, my assessors didn't even ask me anything on my text/film
they wanted me to discuss the cultural difference that I could see by studying two different languages and stuff

and a girl i know gets an assessor she knows... i mean.. surely they try to be fair and everything but
we are only human so.... biased maybe?

fuck so mad but its over so yeah

i wanna get 30 raw!!!!! T.T

I sort of think language/fine arts/writing are all subjects that you cant cram for - they are just skills that have been developed through constant exposure? (ie. a person who has crammed learning how to draw a cat for a whole week would not beat a person who has drawn all their life and was asked to draw a cat on the spot - in terms of complexity, drawing nyan cat does not apply here.)

plus none of those subjects require ROTE learning of formulas or structures (english maybe yes) so its really a test of flexibility, for the oral in particular!

Well there cant really be that much bias, because there are 2 assessors there so they have to reach a mutual agreement. Plus the convos are recorded.

Chill bro, stop stressing!

I crammed for my Last Oral SAC. I had no plan what my topic was the night before I had that SAC (detailed study Oral) By 3am I had sort of a Plan and pulled of 85%. Then again, I'm a native German speaker so my opinion probably doesn't count.

Cramming = Not recommended.
