ich hab 95 gekriegt. ich war sehr zufrieden.

mmm..depends what u mean by discouraged. Of course i'd be annoyed (it'd bring the uai down ;-) ) but would my pride be hurt? nahhh. I know i can hold a fairly decent conversation ;)

U do ext french and german??? What, r u swiss or something?

What do u mean u're a native? u like putting grammatical mistakes in everywhere just to throw or...?

oops, i feel stupid (ignore above post). Just read they do it for all subjects.... Mainly wondering if anybody had any news from people from past years. e.g. some expected a mark of about 80, but then was happily surprised when their final mark was in the 90s.

I know that maths marks definitely get alligned (i.e. even before UAC get's hold of them). Does anyone know if they do that with German marks? Like, if you actually got 90% u'll prolly end up with a mark of 93%?

I did exactly the same thing! i did my last writing part (i did q 12 a last) in about 10 minutes...very 'dodgy'. (that's such an apt word for exams)

I didn't think the exam was too bad. But what was with the listening? It was too bloody fast!! I'd done practice listening tasks (and a couple of past tapes, ie actual past hsc ones) and it was never that fast. I'm not talking about the actual talking (that was cool) just the gaps between each...

My teacher said they (the markers) like idiomatic expressions. Learn some.

It certainly wasn't an easy paper. I know I lost at least 5 marks. But i didn't get time to check, so prolly i lost more. btw, Whatever some people might say, it was definitely better than last year's. (i repeated this year cos i accelerated last year). But last year i know i lost around 15...

My trial question was: Whilst Yeats' poetry is shaped by his personal, political and literary values and context, the power of his poetry lies in the fact that he makes a strong connection with contemporary readers from a variety of contexts. Explore this statement in relation to at...
