Nice and easy, it was all essays!! (horay no need to think of structures for articles and so forth).

Thank god english is over!

 

[The Logical One]

It was great I thought. Nothing too complicated and dealing with the prescribed texts in a non confusing straight forward manner.

I especially liked the questions on Poetry (wilfred owen) and Image (baz luhrmann).

 

[Lori.]

I was very surprised that we didnt have to write an article or interview or the like... I wasnt too happy with the poetry question, I actually think it was easy because it wanted you to concentrate on techniques, but I planned to concentrate on Owen's underlying critique of war, so my essay is all over the place :/
But I'm glad its over, I can chuck all my english stuff now

 

[uhawww]

That was the easiest English exam I've ever had lol. But uhh still managed to kind of stuff up my third essay because I was running out of time, still had quite alot of info but didn't really get to the point.

Think I creamed that poetry essay, couldn't have asked for a better question...

Meh, my third essay was ruined because of time and hand cramps. :rofl: But 3 pages is sad.

The first two essays were good though, 8 pages each. I can never write that much.

 

[Loz_metalhead]

I couldn't believe it was that easy. During reading time I cracked a smile

[$hiftyIceQueen]

i thought the Briar Rose question was SOOOOOOO easy...but my other questions sucked mostly coz i didnt understand them..

 

[Aaron06]

I reckon I failed.

I did ok in the first 2 sections but in the 3rd I was already tired. So I just did nothing but bullshit the whole way through. =[

xD

Awesomeeee =]

 

[alicat]

alicat

 

[Schniz]

the first paper was wayyy easier than that one. grr! or maybe it was my stupid texts. didi anyone think it was easy with the truman show for the first text, wilfred owen for thae second and raw for the third? the raw question was the worst by far!

 

[Ricky09]

Pretty easy exam. First two essays were prepared essays. Modified the third for Raw a little. Got 29 pages out. So, pretty happy. Heres to hoping for a band 5.

I did The Truman Show and Wilfred Owen and I found the questions to be perfect for what I had studied. A friend of mine studied Raw and she had no complaints either. Maybe your strongest point was just journeys?

 

[Jason1357]

That was easy, i couldnt believe it and there was no stupid speeches or interviews etc which made it even better. the raw question and dialogue question where both very easy. witness was a pritty easy question aswell they where all very general questions which made them easy.

 

[Bexta12]

I didn't think that it was too hard...Raw was definately the hardest so i did that first but wasted wayyyyyyy too much time and ended up only having an hour for Stolen and Witness so i didn't end up finishing witness
I thought that paper 1 was better...i was definately more prepared 4 journeys.

 

[nice]

yeah, i reckon the paper was the easiest from seeing past papers.
i did strictly ballroom(16pages), shoehorn sonata (8 pages), raw ( 1 page)the introduction only due to time mangement cozzz i didint have time so screwd .but do u guys thing i i will get into band 5 like 80? coz i did ok in strictlyy ballrom and shoehorn sonata but raw

and i think i did ok in my first paper my ranking is 13/78 would u guys thik tht will pull me up??????​
