shellziess Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 So now that 24 hours are over, any opinions on that paper or was I the only one that found it way too difficult for studies? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustTryingToSurvive Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 Paper 1 math studies was really hard, honestly. Everyone I know whom takes math studies ended up in absolute tears. Paper 2 was defiantly better, but wow... It was really bad. I am scared of losing my diploma only because of that. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellziess Posted May 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 I know, a bunch of my classmates came out of the exam room in tears. I mean I know that I might be capable of getting a 7 because I am generally very good in math and could have taken standard but I totally understand why people were complaining because I was even frustrated and had to clear my head before I attempted the harder questions. Paper 2, on the other hand, was such a nice paper. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustTryingToSurvive Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 Well, I am really happy to hear that you are confident in mathematics. However, I am not so great. There is a reason why I took math studies, and in paper 1 there was no trend with past exam papers at all and hardly much of what I have learnt. What I have been taught and what I have learnt in math studies were easier versions of what appeared in that paper. I am really frightened...

shellziess Posted May 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 Yes, I totally understand you. Do you know how your IA was in general and whether paper 2 was better? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustTryingToSurvive Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 My IA was pretty good. So that's a plus. Paper 2 was a lot better too, I'm pretty sure I scored a good amount of marks in that. (well hopefully, aha!) Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellziess Posted May 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 So that is 60% of your grade, which is good. I do not think you will fail math... The lowest grade you will get is probably a 4 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustTryingToSurvive Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 English paper 1 was not too bad, in my opinion. paper 2 was slightly frustrating for me but I hope it was okay! It wasn't hell, but it wasn't amazing either. you? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellziess Posted May 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 I actually found paper 1 to be worse than paper 2, what question did you pick for paper 2, i mean you obviously had different texts to read so different questions might apply.

JustTryingToSurvive Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 Really? I found paper 1 was really to annotate. I know a lot of people didn't like paper 1 because they chose the wrong text to annotate and realised afterwards that they should not have chosen it. I did question...3 i think. I can't remember the number aha. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shellziess Posted May 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 I chose Persepolis, by Marjane Satrapi and The Crucible by Arthur Miller Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustTryingToSurvive Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 Oh, the crucible is such a nice text to do it on. I didn't study that this year, but I do like that text generally. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellziess Posted May 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 It was a great text to do that on, especially looking at the end on how Proctor choses his destiny (kinda). Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustTryingToSurvive Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 That is a good text, you're correct. Hope it goes all well for you. So nerve-wracking isn't it? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
