Nah, not really. I did the tests today off pure ability ngl. I'm a bit of a sweat so JAC didn't assist me at all.

    I don't think that's a big fuss. The markers are usually lenient.

      ikr, I honestly a little mad as i was literally cramming thousands of formulas, parabolas, quadratic equation and stuff and NOTHING like that even came up!!

        Hopefully macrob accepts high averages because I’m not getting anymore than that 😭

        I heard lots of my friends talking down JAC and Hendersons. they go to some tutor called Select Entry Accelerator.
        they claimed that all the JAC content is outdated asf, and the contents on the exam werent gonna be close to it. turns out they were right

        the persuasive though! i didnt know if you were meant to talk about the people (Sam and someone else?) in the essay... i just said "Do people go to the cinemas as much as they used to?" and I said it wasn't...

          What was everyone's stance for persuasive?
          mine was yes, cinemas are good

            i wrote in first person about a lab experiment monster coming alive and massacring everybody around the girl. i didnt have much time so i just did a cliffhanger and filled with a shit ton of imagery. now that i look back at it half of it didn't make sense. eg "his eyes were jet-black: devoid of compassion"

              clover uhm u really fd up there bc u had to choose who’s side u were on and state why

                [deleted] i feel like if you have a lot of description that's really good because like imo i didn't focus too much on describing sadly

                  I wrote against. My reasons were:

                  1. As we embark into a new digital age, streaming services become more readily available
                  2. The expenses of movie cinemas in contrast to its alternatives is far greater

                  Rebuttal: "Movie cinemas provide many benefits and luxuries"
                  I wrote about how this motion is correct but does not negate the fact that these luxuries are present when streaming movies

                    I wrote that tentacles erupted from the screen (nobody else except for the person can see it) and swallowed the person whole and transported her into a jet black place where all the walls started closing in and that person started suffocating, i was running out of time so then i just wrote that she got sucked out of the place and back into the cinema and wondered if it was all just a hallucination, after that i ended in a cliff hanger..

                    Ronaldo yea i get where you're coming from. let me explain what i did - i said people don't go to the cinema for various reasons - a) because there's other options b) because it's expensive, then the rebuttal stated that cinemas are more immersive, but there's other options like VR and stuff. i didnt explicitly state whose side i was on but i implied it. i hope i didnt mess it up 😭

                    Ronaldo its not a persuasive piece if you state "i agree with nova" that's a analytical, persuasive pieces NEVER use personal pronouns, you are meant to just write a persuasive piece on which side of the story you support, bc you can say something like "I prefer novas idea". So i think clover is fine

                      My jac teacher says my imagery is too much and too hard to understand 🙁

                        [deleted] I wrote for cinemas were bad and my reasons were
                        1- The expense issue for the average customer
                        2- the inconvenience of location, prices and comfort ability
                        3- why no people decide to attend cinemas
                        Rebuttal- cinemas can abolish the average customers budget
                        It was better wording than what I just said

                          [deleted] really? my teachers always told me to "add more description and examples" even though i had one for every paragraph
