fuck yeh.
my uai: 68.5
required uai for bachelor of business at griffith uni (gold coast) : 80
end result: i got an offer.
summary: fuck the uai system, i win!
SDD people are a funny lot...
I got 100% for group speech because i was enthusiastic
94% in major project, of which I coded about 20 lines...the rest was done by 2 ppl in my class because they knew how to code before taking up sdd...
got 58% in trials because I can't answer any...
btw, i am joking.
our maths go scaled something weird... to make the teachers look smart i think, cuz ppl in our school suck at maths.
i went from 47% to 76% :P
only two people in the other two units classes got above 40%. again. we suck. highest was from a 4-unit student, on 86%.
arg! i know to study the syllabus, but as it is the night before, maybe i could cut some of the stuff that they are not going to ask out...but noooo have to study all of it :P i was just wondering if anyone else knew about the test and whether it might be similar q's such as 2001-2003 or if it...
from a Lismore study day:
Although the 2004 examination will have a similar organisation to the 2001-2003 examinations, the Board of Studies has indicated that candidates can expect a significant variation in the range of content being tested. This is a good reason to use the syllabus as the...
we had the most laid back ladies ever :)
when they say pens down...everyone stops, and then they just say, no go through and number every sheet and fill out the blue form. And that's it, then everyone just starts talking etc...
NOT AT ALL LIKE HOW OUR TEACHERS DESCRIBED IT IN THE TRIALS...
so to sum up, the independent trials consisted of:
-speech (Harwood)
-feature article (powerplay)
-essay (hamlet)
the catholic trials consisted of:
-speech (powerplay)
-essay (?)
-? (?)
can someone please fill in the blanks here
if the question is for example:
Evaluate the effectiveness of the composer's you have studied in representing journeys and comment on how your understanding has changed. (this was basic layout of independent trial q for AOS part 3)
We were told afterwards that we had to:
1. make a...
you got to estimate your mark? awesome!
Is it based on your performance in the trials or an average of all your internal assesments?
I got an average of 76 from internal assessments but only 52% in trial exam :P
I'll probabily stick with staying healthy though...it would suck to be...
yay! the yes votes are in front!
it's not so much the learning about books/philosophy etc that I hate it's the way we are tested. The criteria is just too unreasonable imho. You don't really know what they are looking for... eg, my english teacher: "I don't want you guys to just write about...
Um, ok...sort of get it...
What are the main things you guys are going to bring up in your essays (regardless of modules or specific module..)
I'm going to discuss:
-language features
-themes
-text and context
-answer the question :)
Our english teacher has been pushing language features, as they are apparently what we have to write about in almost every essay.
How has the author used language features in their text?
Ok, so the language features for a poem are: FAT STIF PRRR
Figurative language
Alliteration
Tone...
