It was kind of a boring exam imo... the essay questions weren't particularly inspiring and the 12 marker didn't know what it was. I was hoping for architecture or a sculpture
same architecture would've been awesome I was so prepped

Tbh? It was doable but it felt like they deliberately tried to scale up the difficulty, so hopefully that’ll reflect in the marks. It wasn’t too hard, just like annoying to have to run out of things to say for Q3. Question 2 was really fun tho
Q2 was actually the best question of the entire exam. It wasn't a like... hard exam but you can tell they did try to make it harder this yr. There wasn't a great amount I could say for q3 tbh

same, but i hated question 2 more it was so weird
I kinda liked q2 tbh, it was asking about his future practice through his medium more than a structural analysis. So I talked about his use of installation and video which united both Aboriginal culture and contemporary Australian identity, and how the video pretty much allowed him to ‘create’ the artwork in front of live audiences at the gallery

also talked about the caption, how the car is pretty much associated with Australian identity, as his use of driving over land represents Australia’s technological colonisation of indigenous land as it is connected to their art

Yes same. I pointed out how plate 7, ‘An Invitation’ was the most different as it is a contemporary work that used satire to challenge the traditional expectations of women which aimed to make dining spaces inviting for men. But the chaos of it all with the animals and their unfriendly expressions demonstrated a subversion of works like the other plates, which is kind of a glorified view showing the respective beauty of their cultures

too real my q14 booklet was looking a lot more blank than the other ones...
the last part of q14 had me so confused i could not get to the endpoint i just did like half and gt stuck 😭,,I think it was doable tho i just confused with my working. I bet the solu is more straightfroward, I just didn't move forward to get it

Biology grind begins, from Tuesday till Friday. Except for Thursday when I have another exam, but still let’s hope I can cover everything

my teacher gave me a stapled stack of past papers for the last 6 years, rise and grind

how long does it usually take to release the hsc papers?
wdym? like your band descriptors and aligned marks from the hsc? same as when the atar releases, dec 18. or did you mean actually getting the papers? if so, i think you have to pay to purchase your individual marked papers but should be roughly available around when marks release cause it wouldve all been finished

I think he means when the papers come out on the nesa website, since he's in year 11
