    Fuck

    I sure as hell didn't study before the exam! I still found it to be a reasonably good exam. I used to do 3U, through year 11, but failed it miserably, and dropped to 2U for year 12. My dad almost wanted to disown me for dropping to 2U (he's an ex-Ruse student, reckons that a higher level of...

    Performance Exam Thing-a-ma-jig

    I play piano... for my Music 2 Core, I played "Seachange" by Phillip Wilcher (NOT related to the TV show!!), and for my Elective I chose Performance, featuring Debussy's "Voiles" for my Additional Topic (Music 1900-1945) and Bartok's "Ostinato", also reflecting 1900-1945 as my second piece...

    Eep! Ur Opinion Needed!

    the folk at my school told us that even using a prescribed text from another SUBJECT was completely not on... I know a few people who wanted to use texts from Drama in their English papers, and they were told to avoid them. I can't vouch for what people ended up using, but I know we were told to...

    Music 2/Extension

    "Question 3 is based on the final movement Con Moto, from Ross Edwards' Symphony No. 3, "Master Magna" written in 2000..." - was that the one? I managed all of 1/2 a mark for that question... <shudder>! But the essay question "Select ONE MUSICAL FEATURE from the four listed below and discuss its...

    Music 1

    What pieces did you guys have? I only caught some fleeting moments of the Music 1 paper while I was waiting for Music 2... the last one sounded like the Habanera from Bizet's Carmen, but I could well be totally wrong :) (it does have a chick singing in it, tho :p) Cya,

    Music 2/Extension

    After the melodic dictation in my trial, this was a piece of cake! My trial one had a different time signature each bar, used double-dotted rhythms, and nearly made the two of us cry when we saw it, it was that bad! (anyone else get that trial paper?!) A couple of notes in this dictation...

    BR/BNW Context

    the moment I saw that question I thought "what the bloody hell is the board trying to do with our minds?!" There were probably wayyy too many ways to interpret that question, although hopefully if enough people take a particular option, they'll mark it as correct, even if it isn't... or...

    blue slip??

    I wrote the number in the box for my first exam, and the supervisor told me not to in future... then in both Music 2 and Modules I was asked to write the number in myself, with the supervisor watching... And even with 9 supervisors in the room, it still takes ages to get out when they...

    Music 2/Extension

    Hi all, How did you all find the Music 2 musicology/aural paper? Did anyone else have a problem with a skipping CD? (or is it just dodgy Gosford High School at its best? :p) Also, what were your opinions of the essay question and it relating back to "Atto di Dolore" and "Timon of Athens"...

    how much did u write for section II and III??

    <shudder>, question 3.... I totally stuffed up that part, considering I completely lost it in section 1! I ended up spending around an hour on section 1 (damn having 4 texts!!), and then around 40 minutes on section 2... by the time I got to section three, my brain was fried, I couldn't think of...
