oh, thats good to know . Out of curiosity, what did u get? you can just say like, >40, >35 if u want.

[Russ]

can't remember exactly, it was ~43 or 44 though

damn language analysis let me down

[iffets12345]

 That's awesome and now extremely comforting lol.  Bad luck about lang analysis.

Not what my teacher said, she said you don't HAVE to analyse every text and still can get 10

[m@tty]

Is your teacher an examiner?

I am fairly confident you will HAVE to include the visual somewhere if you are wanting 9 or 10.

[iffets12345]

yea, epic laziness if u dont.

i mean the visual usually takes up half the page to make sure no one manages to miss it.

[Russ]

Unless things have changed pretty dramatically, you need to analyse the visual source to get a high mark. When I say do it "properly", that's a bit tongue in cheek, I had to cram it in at the end because I'd gone over my budgeted time for the written source.

Examiners report in 2009:

Students needed to demonstrate their ability to understand how language is used to persuade. Students could select
different parts of the material to exemplify and explore language use. They were expected to acknowledge and explore
the way visual features were used in adding persuasiveness to the entire piece.

and also my tutor read this from somewhere but I don't know where from: "students who did not analyse the visual were not penalised however those that did were well rewarded."

sounds to me like its beneficial to write about the visual.

Adding to this:

Majority of people in last year's eng class I'm PRETTY sure didn't mention the visual, the two that did got over forty, and they were the ONLY two that got over forty to top it off.

But does it say nowhere that you CANT get good scores by not analysing EVERY text on the exam, whether it be written or visual

[iffets12345]

ur talking about text, the visual is very important. Not analysing every text as in words in the piece sure, that would be taking up too much of your time but the visual is obvious and why risk looking like you're a moron that doesn't decipher pictures instead of trying to prove a point.
