The Board of Studies are so cruel for their specification of speeches. By the way, this year's question kind of ruled out a couple of speeches and limited you to talking a few of them only.

Good luck bring a book, which could contain notes, into the exam room.

Lol. This thread is so funny. By the way, my supervisers were slow and old. First of all, they didn't give the English Advanced students the reading booklet until we told them during reading time. After a long 5 minutes, they finally managed to give it to us. Secondly, they kept as in as they...

They probably won't, but if they do, that would be so cruel considering what they already put us through with 7 speeches.

I think that it would be mean that there is more of a chance that they would specify it in our exam because they will eventually come to specify most of the speeches and they only have 2 years left to specify Keating's speech.

For the Trials, I stayed up until 3 am the night before my English Paper 2 exam. It was the biggest mistake of my life because during my Module A essay, I had a total mindblank and I was staring at the exam booklet for 15 minutes. I came close to last and my overall rank dropped from the top 5...

Hopefully, I get in the range of 35 to 40. It all depends on tomorrow's paper now.

What a beast!. If only I had to same amount of time left over as you...

Hopefully, the Board of Studies won't specify Deane's speech. I'm still writing my essay on Keating and Pearon's speech. There's too much to memorise for this module!!!

http://www.smh.com.au/national/education/hsc-2013-students-react-after-english-exam-20131014-2vhvb.html Check out the post at 2:59. It's pretty funny. Dude. Do you actually want Text 2 to be longer? Texts 3 and 4 were already long enough.

My teacher, who is a HSC marker, said that the responses that got a higher mark were the ones that wrote in a form other than a story because they would stand out as most people would write a story. So, if you prepared a speech, you would actually be advantaged in a certain way.

I reckon that if you only did at least one past paper, you would actually be a state ranker.

I've got a feeling that the Board of Studies is going to troll and make us use 2 related texts for Module C because everyone will be expecting one related text due to this essay.

Just wondering, did anyone actually complete a whole past paper for English? Yeah, that was so annoying, especially since the supervisors were really old and slow.

Wtf were with Questions b and e? I screwed up those ones so badly.

Wtf was with Section 1? The questions didn't seem hard, I still struggled badly.

I feel more prepreared for the Trials just for English. I'm still writing my creative piece after getting a crap mark in the Trials. So much for trying to sleep early the day before the exam...

My cohort is the worst. In the Trials, half of them were asking why there were so many different questions. I think some of them even attempted to write essays for texts which they haven't done, although I guess that those ones didn't even know what texts they learnt in class.

I have to memorise two essays, but I firstly need to write my last essay on Monday night. Last year, I think there was a gap between the two English exams. If only that was the case for this year. I would be so less stressed.

This is so true. If only English didn't have to count towards our ATAR...
