Weird weightings for Trials?? (1 Viewer)

[SadCeliac]

Is anyone else's school doing this?



Our school is putting all the focus on our Mod B (since we've learnt it this term) rather than having equal weighting for each module and section like a normal trial... Now we are all concerned about putting all our effort into Mod B and ignoring things like common mod, since it only accounts for 2.5% of our internal English...

Please help?

this is wack

Yes I know, hence the "please help"

 

[SadCeliac]

I have no clue what to focus on, and I still need to memorise most of my essays

 

[nsw..wollongong]

wtf

 

[nsw..wollongong]

imagine short answers making up 2.5% of ur trials... tf might as well not even do it

That's stuffed, but be warned about memorising essays. Just go in with an open mind so you can adapt your ideas to any question rather than having a preprepared response that doesn't match the question.

Well either way I still need to understand my essays - and going over them as if I were memorising would still help

But yes I see what you're saying

So should you only memorise the structure as well as the quote and analysis parts of the essay and then mould the rest of it in relation to the question?

yes, same but at least your mod c wasn't 20% of your internals like ours was. I hate how my task 1 and 3 are 20%, and 30% task 2 and then the trials are only 30% and its 5 times as much so each section isn't even worth that much in comparison to task 1, 2, and 3

I'm pretty sure we had this:

Common mod	Mod A	Mod C	Trials
25%	25%	20%	30%

Common mod	Mod A	Mod C	Trials
25%	25%	20%	30%

we literally have the exact sm thing

in our school our english trials (only) are fricken worth 60% of the internal im so scared and our assignments that everyone got good in are like 20%

 

[its_ace21]

and we're only doing one trial for english (so 1 paper 1 and 1 paper 2) so if we mess them up we're dead

Wdym one trial? Everyone has paper 1 on one day and then paper 2 on the next - is that not what you do? Do you do both on one day?

no like in our school we do 2 sets of trials, so we do the CSSA trials and our own independent trials, so one would be 30% and the other 35%, but now they said we're only doing CSSA which is 60%
