English Exam Thoughts

[Kotza]

It is what it is.

You cant change whats done.

No matter how much you talk about it and ask people "OMG MAN HOW'D YOU DO? HOW GAY WAS THAT CHRIS LEE GUY?" your mark will not change

Move on, accept what you did and study for the next exam

Just curious, did anyone pick up on that he said THANK YOU at the end? tonal shift from prick to grateful to finish?

or, it could have been convention of speech.

omg feel bad for the ppl who thought it was against biodiversity

JUST WONDERING even if you read too fast and misinterpreted, how did you not see the speech was going a whole other way and he was clearly advocating biodiversity??

Don't even stress about length - at examiner training day, for example, they make clear to assessors that 10s take a huge range of forms.. a two-page piece can be a 10, as can an 11-page thesis-like cracker. It's completely about your own writing and not the length.

Personally I hardly even notice how a persons finishes their speech. Whether they say "thank you" at the end seems kinda irrelevant.

[Studyinghard]

I would have analysed the end if he ended the speech with like "f*** you homo's do something"

[m@tty]

Haha, true. That certainly would have an impact.

Did any one miss the background info, or was i the only moron in the state?

[cypriottiger]

thank fucking god for 1984!!! wrote on topic 1 and did the best essay of my life, 2nd onyl the "how does the party maintain control" which is pretty much the easiest topic you could possibly get
did fine in language analysis, mentioned both images, the biologist guy's quote and how it was the caption of the other image. forget to mention dinosaurs though and repetitive short sentences, but got the major appeal with the title, appeal to fellow human being, inclusive language/capital letters/"our goal" to insight that the onyl way of solving the problem must be done with a unified humanity ect.
context im panicing, what did people write for I&B?

theres always a few ppl every year. hopefully they dont make you down too much for it

[physics]

ummm. i think my COSI essay was uber bad cause i wrote word for word from my mind.

no1 checked our dictionaries either. tehee.secret

[Kotza]

i dont think people should stress on what they missed out on.. you dont MISS OUT on anything.. the article was over a thousand words long, everyone would miss out on something. Even last year's assessment report states that the high scoring response: "Covers the breadth of the article but does not become bogged down trying to cover every idea."

so dont streezszszszzzzz

i think misinterpreting the entire argument would prove pretty costly..
