6. Other -- I have no idea. Hoping for a fantastic mark.

Crap! That's bad (my plan worked, hahahaha) Just joking :) Listen was cool, we have three rooms of students doing the listening. My room played 10 seconds early. If i missed something, i just listen to the other room's tape. HA!

Well well.....Then we just have to wait and see who gets a higher marks! :p Just kidding! lol

Correct, on one knows about the "cut-offs" for band 6, only the examiners do. There are approx. 2500 doing ESL this year. The "cut-offs" of band 6 varies from year to year. The raw marks could range from 100 to 85 for a band 6, If the exam writer thought it was a difficult exam. On the other...

Your text type is incorrect. If yougave an in-depth analysis of your texts, you may still be able to get a Band 5.

we will see about that!

The first question, from memory, was about why there is "no firework this year" The correct answer should be because there is the danger of having fire on that year.

I hope you won't lose any marks, as the ESL paper time limit is very demanding. We needed to write so much in so little time. But the band 5/6 you saw with no conclusion could have gotten FULL mark if their conclusions were present. It may just be that little mistake that cost them those 2 or 3...

I have no idea what you have just said. It doesn't make sense. The question is presented in a subtle way. You, as a student should be able to work out which text type to use in your answer. A speech is fine, but generally, speech is NOT used in a RADIO PROGRAM, such as those "Youth in Focus"...

You are wrong.....

The problem is that that question specifically ask for a particular poem, which i did not focus on. I never study that poem because i thought the question would be more flexible than this. Nevertheless, with my super helpful memory i mangement to squeeze out some quotes and a faint memory of the...

Thanks. :D Without a conclusion is really bad as what you wrote is not a complete essay. You will probably facing losing two or three marks. Sorry if I scared you.

Generally, the listening paper is not very difficult. This year's paper is extremely similar to those of last year's. The multiple choice should be - exciting and relevant. The most difficult question is the one about quality and behaviour valued by Australian. I wrote down bravey and...

The question came as a suprise because in 2001 and 2002, the question aim at study strategies. However, this year they made a completely different question focusing on Scholaship in letter. So I had to use my own knowledge, without preparation beforehand to compose a relatively good letter...

I cannot believe there are separate question for each precribed texts. I am sad :( And my one - poetry - is so specific....*sighs* I thought in 2001 HSC, they could not compared a band 6 from one essay and band 6 from another precribed text......What happened this year? I am still...

Can you be more specific on the Modules please. i don't know which question you are talking about since there are like 5 million questions in Telling stories.... :(

I told everyone so....But they just start arguing with me. I knew it was an interview. I mean what kind of a person would do a speech on a radio that is not even your own show? You are a GUEST, not the HOST.

Aiming for a Band 6?

What? I saw the news.com site that accelrant who achieved Band 6 in the previous year is not included in the next year as a part of the All rounder. HOWEVER, the band 6 is counted in the best 10 units.

How many pages did you write in the Perspective interview/speech? I wrote 7.5 pages for the interview.
