i think the main trap with that question was the 'account' bit. NCCA, uniting church, all that jazz would be fine, as long as you had reasons for formation. which of course, you could have considered 'creative writing'.
fuckfoot would like to take this opportunity to point out she is a girl and has been masking herself under the cover of androgony for the past twelve or so months. fuckfoot would then like to re-affirm her belief that this is mindless dross and express her frustration that she is now...
fuckfoot skimmed over several pages since fuckfoot's last post. fuckfoot has witnessed discussion on topics ranging from politics to travel, feminism to baked beans. fuckfoot is peeved for wasting so much time on mindless dross.
i think i read, in the markers notes for 2003 A-Range short stories, that "candidates" wrote stuff that was relevant to other subjects. i could be wrong though. someone'll have to check because i feel rather lazy today.
they align your marks on your record of achievment. i don't really understand the actual process but it depends on how hard the paper is, what kind of marks everyone gets, etc. your actual mark is the 'raw' and you will never really see that... aligned mark is the one you show your parents.
i agree, there were a lot of easy bits but tehre was the occasional question that just made me think "well eff me". but because a lot of it was based on a vague understanding and common sense, i'd say band 6 is looking competitive.
the seven marker was pure bullshit, doable, but jarring.
i didn't do a model either, i think at school we just looked at diagrams so i made up one with pipecleaners... but it wasn't exactly accurate... still i'm just relieved i didn't really have to know the names of any of those fossils.
no, it depends on what sort of tone your using. you need a sort of i'm-in-a-panic-and-i'm-about-to-collide-with-a-truck voice for the first one, and you need a deadpan-i'm-a-bloody-boring-monotone-teacher voice for the second. you just don't have the imagination. (is that another forbidden word...
that could be misconstrued you know.
like: No! right wing! turn!
or: no right wing. turn.
just pointing out how (fragmented) sentences come alive with punctuation.
