It was rampant in my school, I'm not sure about others around the country. But in our exam centre, the papers were handed out and followed by lots of confused and worried looking students glancing around at everyone else in a similarly-f*cked situation.


...myself included. sigh

Haha simular responses all round.

All I could hear from the back of the center was 'Oh for **** sake' in a very annoyed voice.

I am one of the many students who banked on heany and Plath.... Anyway as I sat in my exam depressed I remembered the names of 4 of rich's poems : storm warnings, aunt jennifers tigers, and trying to talk with a man. Anyway I attempted the question and got 4 pages done.... It was all spoof and I only included 1 quote in the whole answer... Will I get any marks??? Please answer honestly :-(

If( and this is just wishful speculation ) the poetry was badly answered as a whole across the country they may adjust the marking scheme to compensate.

You'll lose very little marks (maybe 5 max) for only having a single quote. As long as you explained your argument you'll do fine. Quotes are over rated on their importance.

Thanks for the replys :-) also is there such thing as a "bell curve" regarding the leaving

Yea there is. If not enough people do well the marking scheme is changed to be easier. If too many do well it's changed to a harder marking scheme.

Yes there is. The poster child of it is the maths exam.

Check out the state examinations commission marking scheme , the more difficult c parts have considerablely less marks available in years where the exams were tough.

That's the case for maths at least. In English they may award more generous marks in poetry or something like that.

Indeed, my heart broke yesterday at 2.00pm when neither of the two, or even Frost or Boland, turned up.... a ''rueful laugh'' was let out.

Cruel Sun

Guys the Bell curve has to be maintained, they royally f*cked up by making the papers unpredictable. They've just made things more difficult for themselves.

Lets say if the top 10 percent of the highest grades are 80%, they're all going to be marked up to A's if 10 percent got A's last year. The SEC do not want to appear stupid.
