Didn't Finish

Sorry to drain lives, but everyone here knows what they are doing:

I didn't finish either my text response or my Language analysis.

In text response I was on my last paragraph and last example, and in Language analysis I stopped just before the comments because I was running out of time.

In all honesty am i doomed (not DTF)?

Thanks

Youll be fine, conclusions aren't important anyway,


and if you got everything else in the language analysis im sure youll be G.


however i think you don't understand what DTF means. It means Down To Fuck

You did the absolute best thing you could have done, given the position you were in.

It's all about maximising marks.

It's easy to earn the first few marks whenever you're answering any sort of extended response question, but much, much harder to earn those couple extra marks that push you from something like an 8/10 to 10/10. In terms of maximising your overall score, you're almost always better off half-answering every single question rather than only fully answering half of them and leaving the other half completely blank.

If you had stubbornly insisted on finishing the first piece, only to get halfway through the second piece, that's like... 9 + 4 = 13 marks.
Instead, you moved on and got through the most important parts of both, which in terms of marks may work out more like 8 + 8 = 16 marks.
(I have no idea what your marks will be, I'm just trying to demonstrate that what you did was better for your overall exam performance).

If you mean you skipped your conclusions then you are fine, it also means you probably wrote heaps so you should be fine anyway!

I just feel bad, I ended up with 30 minutes to spare because I could only write 2 pages for context, I mean the prompt was "ok", I just had no idea how to draw on streetcar with it -.-, even contemplated doing imaginative landscape because it looked so easy lol

I didn't finish my text response either, I left it to last dreading the prompts that I was given :(  I got up too my 4th Body Paragraph with about 5mins to go. I was just smashing in as much contextual and historical evidence as the prompt allowed me to. Hopefully whoever marks my essay will see this as a good thing rather than just a rushed attempt of getting in as much knowledge as I could.

Don't worry too much about it, same thing happened to me last year and with strong SACs I doubted I would get a decent score. But like me, you will surprise yourself with the score you get.. I got a 34 when I was honestly expecting a 25 (and I only finished 1 essay, 1 wasn't even started, 1 had just an intro). You'll be fine!

im sorry but how can you get a 34 with that.

even if you got a 10 for the first one.

the one you had an intro would have been maximum 3

That can't amount to a 34.

I'm dead set certain I got a 34.. for both units of SACs I was on roughly 90-92/100 in a weak cohort. In the exam, I wrote a full language analysis, wrote an introduction for context and didn't start text response. I didn't get a statement of marks so I'm not sure how I scored in the sections, but my final marks were: A+, A+, C.

What happens if I have only 2 body paragraphs in my context essay? Does it matter?

I didn't quite finish either. Had to write 2 one line conclusions. The examiner said pens down and I couldn't really think properly cause I was so pissed. Ended up writing "The writer persuades readers to agree with her through the examples above" and for Maestro, I basically restated the prompt. "Paul's parents and Keller" helped Paul to develop"
What's the max score I can get with my 1 line conclusions?
