My teachers gave us a full list but i can't remember it all. distincitve ones was like:

1. Taking a test
2. War
3. Dementia / Alzhimers

god there was like 15 things they gave us but i cant find the doc anywhere
bro my prescribed text is on war, and my discursive is on intergenerational conflicts
but yeah taking a test is too meta i think staying away from like school or assessments is probs a good idea

unlikely because they did it already 3 years ago
but if they do i have some broad ideas to create a new one
or if it fits i can adapt my discursive

nice. my english teacher who used to work for nesa said that when they created the new english syllabus, they wanted to remove all predictability. so they arent working off patterns (i.e. this came up last year, it wont be there this year, or it hasnt been there in ages, its def coming up etc). Praying that means no poem prescription, AND we can choose a discursive. those are my 2 biggest worries rn

i guess so
i heard that a head maths nesa teacher said that the entirety of the syllabus should be covered within the lifespan of the syllabus
since the new english syllabus is going to be implemented in 2026, maybe they will ask a persuasive or discursive
idk if this translates to english but speculating rather than studying is fun lol

yeah i honestly hope so. I think we'd be best suited for a persuasive as well, since usually (or at least my discursive) has the omnisience etc. I'd like a persuasive, because it would put everyone on a leve playing field.

20 mark discursive would fucking SLAP.

only problem is that a discursive would fuck over my entire cohort, so no one will be able to bring my mark up

hahaha true
honestly persuasive is pretty easy to adapt from a discursive since you just swap the modality and register, otherwise it stays the same
but if they give us an informative 💀
9/11 pt 2 is incoming

i’m so terrified that they’re gonna be really mean this year and not give the option to do THE ONLY THING I KNOW HOW TO DO. my teacher literally told us not to prepare for discursives because we’re “so bad at them” and “they always include imaginative”, it’d be so unfair not to give people optionsssss pls. universe and hsc paper makers/markers please be kind. 🙏🙏🙏
