I thought it was alright because I actually did some work towards this one. I aimed to write mostly about techniques and I was successful in that. My English teacher said that in the trial and half yearly I hardly spoke about it at all. So I hopefully have improved :) Good luck tho on the...

btw this place needs a o_O smiley :P

YAY I GOT IT RIGHT!!! I used this for the poem (text 2) in section 1 :D I even spelt it right, I'm shocked o_O

I ended my story on a wonderful note, the guy died. I always seem to kill my characters off hoping for the sympathy vote by the markers or something. Perhaps I'll just have a psychiatrict team come to my house and take me away. Oh yeah, I wrote about the wedding photo, about the guy getting...

I couldn't agree more. English should not be compulsory, I can write a decent essay, speech, story, or article in a real life situation. I could also do a very detailed comprehension task on a poem, prose, essay, etc if I had the time. No matter how prepared you are for an exam, you do not...

Same, I had finished in time but I could have written so much more and better structured all sections if I had like an extra hour. I think that a majority of students would rather take the 3 hours approach, because of the importance of the actual process. An extra hour could mean the...

1hr 16mins -_-

Anything is better than an essay :P

My God is it ever, lol. My mum came into my room before (to be honest, to make sure I haven't done away with myself o_O) and saw me staring at the countdown and she laughed at it, damn parents :P lalala, I'll get tired at around 1am I bet, and have 5hrs sleep and ruin my exam >_<

I've been trying to goto sleep for the last hour and I've given up!!! The same happened for the trial, I couldn't get to sleep for ANY of them no matter what I tried. Oh well, I may as well spend this time studying :| BOS:chainsaw:

ahh no idea... I think my school said something about it... Oh well I'll wear it just in case, nothing to lose.

You never know, I found a good related material today and I'm using it :)

I am using the music clip to Mariah Carey - Through The Rain. I find that studying the music clip + song is a much better decision on my behalf, because there are a lot of techniques used in the music clip that adds to the song and it's meaning.

I read the questions then the texts, so I know what to look out for. Tips for overall exam: - Remember in section one, they're most likely going to ask things about techniques, context, etc, so make sure you know the meaning behind these words and how to locate them in a given text. -...

Yeah my physics teacher told us a story about when he was doing Year 12. But the opposite. His friend took pills to keep him awake for days before the exam to study, but he was f**ked for the exam... *sigh*

I remember for the trial HSC for every exam I went to bed at around 10pm, but didn't get to sleep till about 1am. It didn't help too much :/

Knowing how the BoS works, and how the English course is structured I would say, extremely messy. I do not know the actual percentages, but taking a wild stab I would say AOS 40%, 3 modules 20% each *shrug* (I hope that equals 100%)

A thing we dicussed at the start of the module was that there is a difference between "Change" and "Changing". Depending on which one you use can change (ha) the way the phrase is percieved. Changing refers to something with continual change (that is, it's still resulting from a change), whereas...

I'm still trying to work out what part of it was actually about Software Design & Development :p It was like a 3rd english exam. How are we meant to know what data would be needed in a travel agency?! All it was writing, more writing and more writing... I didn't study correctly for this exam, I...

After a TERRIBLE night sleep, seriously, I went to bed really early to have a great night sleep I ended up having like 5hrs... oh well. I did the catholic paper (CSSA?) and I reckon it was alright... I ran out of time tho... I totally stuffed up the first question to begin with and I had to...
