--- End quote ---

I actually studied for Paper One AND Paper Two day before Paper one. Timed myself and everything because I wanted to train my hand for the real thing. This actually paid off! My hand just kept writing during Paper two today and got used to the strain. Didn't need to massage my hand during the exam. Yesterday after paper one, I just read all my quotes for all my texts and did a last minute analysis for my Mod C ORT last night. So I had time to study for my other exams.

I'll definitely try and do more practice essays (under timed conditions) before the real thing. Wished I spent more time on studying my Mod C ORT :/ My analysis was so bad because I thought I could easily bs it. Boy I was wrong. I definitely need more text evidence for all my modules, because I only memorised three quotes for each poem/key idea/character because I got lazy and didn't want to memorise any more quotes. I was lucky today that all my quotes worked well with the questions. Though, can't risk it for the HSC.

elysepopplewell:
The best thing you can do now is evaluate how you dealt with Paper One and Two in practice and in the exam and move forward from this. So it's good to see everyone above has recognised what they will do differently or the same next time. When you get your feedback for the trials, definitely take it on board and power on again - this is why we have trials! They're a trial for the real deal - so you'd be selling yourself short by not looking into all of this properly. Congratulations to everyone finished English! Power on from here :)
