CSSA Paper Two Discussion Thread!

[pikachu975]

Mod A was good it was pretty generic.

Mod B no clue what one of the words meant but hope I was right about it.

Mod C interpreted a word wrong rip

i actually liked paper 2! the questions were a bit of a blessing for my prepared responses, and i liked Mod C's question (but i studied people and landscapes w/ Judith Wright, which not as many people studied)

Not super confident with my Mod A essay, but definitely better than paper one i'd say

Mod B was a hot mess! I completely forgot about textual integrity or enduring value but I loved loved loved my Mod C question but Mod A could go either way. Every person I spoke to had a completely different answer for Mod A. Some focused on themes while others focused on the context of their actions so it's a bit of a hit or miss.

Didn't do the CSSA paper I don't think, but for us module b was AWFUL. Mod A and C were great tho! flew through them

I didn't do the CSSA either and I totally agree with you, Mod A&C were great, Mod B however, proved to be rather difficult. Do you remember the questions by any chance? My friends and I are trying to remember what they were as we compare our answers! Can you PM them to me?

Hi all

Would you guys say that CSSA paper way easier or harder then other past papers you have done?

[georgiia]

So module C wasn't very inspiring?

But overall - a less tricky paper than yesterday, just not quite as gripping?

(If anyone remembers the questions you were given - can you PM them to me please

I pm'd mod c I'll do the others when I get home

I wouldn't say harder I'd say more retarded they ask stuff for english that's never gonna be asked in HSC.

The word textual integrity is useless in mod B essays it doesn't really show you know what it means, I think it's better that you showed the use of form and language to convey meaning, i.e. textual integrity.

One of the ways textual integrity is secured/asserted (?) is through "overall coherence and unity.... in language forms and features" (BoS)

Did you guys remember to use critics?

I heard some people didn't lol.

I used like 1 I think but it honestly doesn't matter, so many exemplars have 0 critics it just enhances your answer. Better to have no critics if your inclusion of the critic wasn't effective.

They aren't a mandatory inclusion in Module B - I got 20/20 without them in Trials
Note: I have deleted a couple of posts above that revealed (at least partially) what a question in the paper was. We cannot discuss the questions until the end of the CSSA exam period, and we need to make sure it stays fair for those who haven't sat the exam yet. I'm being pretty meticulous on this, better safe than sorry.

Also, please do not respond to any requests for the specific questions unless they are from elysepopplewell. Elyse likes to know the exam to better help you guys prep for the HSC (she definitely won't be sitting the CSSA again anytime soon ), requests from anyone else are probably intended to find out the question before they sit the exam themselves. Anyone who sat the exam would be able to discuss the questions without being told what it was
