How was Japanese for YOU? (1 Viewer)

[mercury]

Hey guys... how did you guys find the paper?
I thought the paper was easier than last year's...
But it's always to make silly mistakes i guess..
Nevertheless one more exam down!
Celebration!!

Good luck for English Paper 2 tomorrow!!

i was ok...
the bad thing was trying to think of complex sentence structures to make yourself look better in the letter...

 

[karnevil]

I owned this test. I couldn't believe how easy it was.... after so many years of gruellingly difficult assessment tasks

 

[special K]

i was suprised at the relative simplicity of the listening compared to last year's paper... the rest was like hell on earth becos i was running outta time and stressing about the stupid senior structures. i thought that the bit in reading and responding about the guy's school was really confusing and didn't quite piece together the purpose of the text properly.... any revelations?

 

[frodo]

i thought some of the writing in japanese questions were harder than the trial and past papers i did before but i think everything was alright, just glad it's over

 

[magicalstones]

i thought japanese was pretty good
it just seemed like all the other japanese exams i've done

i did think it was perhaps more interesting tho
and the boring part (sport) was really simple so i got that out of the way quickly

i really enjoyed the think about the guy who left school

 

[worlds greatest]

mm its was ok


karnevil: you seem to be doing well so far
whats ur uai estimate like

 

[Takuya]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[mercury]

Yeah, Japanese listening was easier than I thought! Especially compared to the years before... the written text types were nothing unexpected I guess. It all depends on how they mark it.

And good work karnevil =p congrats!

I thought I owned it but so far i know two stupid mistakes i made already... so lets say i didn't

 

[karnevil]

Thanks to all who congratulated me... but seriously we all deserve congratulations. The people who truly love the language have worked their arses off for years, and been rewarded with a hsc exam to show off their skills!

oh and to worldsgreatest: I dont get into that UAI estimate shit. It's all a crock of shit, nobody can predict UAIs. thanks for askin but

 

[Haylz]

are we talking beginners or continuers? i'm assuming both. I thought that the beginners paper was really, really good. i managed to finish 40 minutes early, but i did the same in the trials and went pretty well.

 

[yenta]

I thought it was easier than the trial, but the second reading passage was like WTF!!!!!! Seriously, and the last question which was worth 5 marks, which said some shit like "How has his life been affected by his school experiences"...WAT THE!!! I filled up half the lines and I was done...so I had to make some bullshit up, did anyone else find that question strange??

Overall pretty good, I thought the writing was pretty easy, well actually the whole thing was pretty easy, first time I've ever finished a Jap exam on time

 

[Toodulu]

yea the 15 mark question was surprisingly easy

 

[ChaoS-GoD]

2 hard parts in continuers
the very last part of the listening (5 mark one) i didnt pick up entirely, and the 2nd last comprehension one, about how his parents reacted to him, i wrote about 3 lines of answer, and bs for 4-5 lines just to fill it up. the last one was a little confusing too, coz u dunno what ur spose to write to fill up all that space.
what did u guys get for them?
im estimating min 74/80 for that, just hope i went well in speaking
the rest was TOO easy imo. i finished 40 min early

 

[Lexicographer]

I tried to leave early but they wouldn't let me. When I did get out though I invented "the Band 6 dance"

It was a bit too easy, they're probably going to mark hard though. Still, I hope EVERYONE did well. You may be surprised by your performance after all!

yay a beginner

yeah this exam was not hard
which one did you choose? for section III?
the daily routine (-_-)
or the birthday one

me chose bday oneeeee and bullshited my way through which was fun haaaha...

i think the beginners paper should be freaking 1.5 hours rather than 2.5 watse of time.

 

[worlds greatest]

how can people be so confident
i mean like, the band six dance etc?
youll only know when u get the marks
and it goes by percentiles
if every thinks its so easy
not every1 can get band six

btw: karnevil : none of that crappy dodgy ozseek stuff
the real uai estimates from like my school
i dunno, some schools ones are dodgy i hear

 

[moogle]

i thought the exam was pretty easy too .. compared to the practice exams .. and previous year's papers ... and so forth



hopefully, i'll get into band 6 XD
