HOW DID IT GO?!?!

[kensan]

so guys how was it??
I thought listening and responding in English was fairly easy.
Responding in Jap, I think i lost a few marks there, I only got 2 advantages of the car.
The way they worded the reading and responding (That 4x2 table) in English for the second text was confusing as :/
I chose the first writing task, Japanese people's influences on Melbourne.

Good job guys, VCE Japanese finished!!

[spikey]

The first english reading comprehension was literally the easiest reading comprehension ive ever done
I thought the whole exam was fairly good, not as hard as I expected

[kensan]

Yeah haha, in between the listening tasks a I quickly finished that
What were the three advantages of the car? i only got 2

[liuetenant]

The english listening was so easy!! thank god! the japanese one got a bit iffy though...essay was doable! i did the persuading principal to make me her assistant! lol it's hard to gauge how i went...dunno what mistakes i made..(and there probs was lots of them! )

[Cappuccinos]

Reading and Responding was pretty do able I think I spent too much time on it though cause I didn't have enough time to finish my essay (I chose the one about the country side and the city)

For listening, it was annoying because the supervisor didn't have the CD player loud enough D:
But yeah the listenings were at a good pace, but I couldn't get the features of the bloody 'raku raku hon' something about one touch hahah

All in all it was an alright exam

[kensan]

I think it was 3 big, one touch buttons for dialing important numbers

Did you get the three advantages of the car?

[t5am94]

listening part 3 & 4 screwed me over, but the rest was alright.

[Gaijin]

For the advantages of the car I got:

can carry heavy suitcases
Since the destination is far from the train station going by car is convenient
If 3 people are going it is cheaper to go by car

For the raku raku hon:

The voice of the phone is loud and can be heard clearly and easily
There are 3 speed dial buttons you can set important numbers on
Can send emails through calls
The charaters are big (字も大きい） <---didn't get this one down though. was hearing ジムは大きい　=='

Overall I think it was a reasonable exam with good content. This would also mean that the expectations of answers will be higher.
Regarding the essay. I also did the principal application one.

I'm pretty sure one of the phone ones was
voice recognition, so you can speak and it will the record down the words for you

With three advantages I got
Can carry heavy suitcases
Cheaper than train
Faster on normal days     ?? lol

I don't think it said anything about voice recognition...I thought it was more like the grandfather calls someone (operators) and then they send it for him.

the Jap board is soo empty...

[Greatness]

I dont care anymore! just want a study score greater than 30 lol Just happy its over with!!!!!

p.s. you guys are crazy! i couldnt even understand some of that shit And i had trouble with reading - responding in japanese..... essay was bleh...

[Gaijin]

I am so relieved that this is all over. Can't wait to dig in to those Japanese dramas again!

..and start playing MW3!

[mykey]

I thought it was pretty reasonable. Bit concerned that it was slightly easier than past few years, because those little mistakes might make a big difference.
I actually thought the hardest part was the cheesecake & Golden Week listenings. The rest I was good with

[Charmz]

I didn't get to finish it!

Yeh they were the three advantages for the car..

I think the four points were those but I heard けいたいに話せると、then something about writing being okay.  I wrote a vague fact about speaking to the phone and it sending messages. That was the one part of the exam I was unsure about, although I dislike the listening and responding in Jap section. Im never sure if I am phrasing it right!

Anyway, last exam! anyone else?
