well, section 1 was easy and straight forward compared to the trial. But i don't really like the 8 marks question that ask for your own experience of belonging ..since i am always a mystery , dont' really wanna to share my shit to the examiners.. i seriously want to write a big question mark across all the lines.

the essay question was pretty general...
the 8 marks question was funny, i wrote my sense of belonging to an imaginery person...XD
anyway it's finished.no more belonging.> <

Section I was pretty aiight..
the 8 marks.. i talk about of me bein an immigrant and how did i find a sense of belonging to my school.. rofl..

Section II.. i was lucky that i prepared a reponse about relationship.. but ddnt hav much time to write all those bulls***.. so cut my essay.. definitely not a full mark anymore..

Would you happen to know how many percentages of people might get full marks in extended responses?

My teacher always says &quot;there is no such thing as a perfect essay&quot; and never awards a full mark.
So you are prob right.

My teacher said markers would give full mark for 1% for extended responses. So abt 20 people would get full mark. omg, i'm getting more and more nervous
