They should give all Standard students an extra hour, and take 30 minutes off all the Extension kids

The 2nd paper should get a bit longer, after all, its an extra 15 marks. however, next year its all one test anyway, so each section that we do would be the equivelant of 1.5hrs.
BTW, if they extended either test, there'd be a huge uproar from those who don't really want to do english anyway, only to have to do 4.5-5 or even 6 hours worth of exams.
Personally, i dont think any single subject (not counting extensions) should get more than 3hrs per 2 units, which is what most subjects get. Why is english so speciall that it gets 4?

if you asked me during the trials i woulda said yes
but today, i found that i was ok for time (for once!!)
however i think the modules exam should be about 2.5 hours (since we have to write 3 damn essays!)

+1 It's worth 1.5x as much as this one, so we should get 3 hours.

Should also let the standard students use computers and make extension students write with their bloodThey should give all Standard students an extra hour, and take 30 minutes off all the Extension kids
Is it true standard students are capped at band 5...thats what i heard from a friend of mine
It's just harder to get a Band 6 in Standard. Only a small percentage achieve that each year.

No, there is a very small number of people who get band 6 in Standard. So small...
On topic; why does English get 4 hours? Because there's too much to test within the normal scope of 3. They have to test reading, viewing, comprehension, creative, as well as a helluva lot of analytical mumbo jumbo.
