I'm in year 12 this year doing the HSC. English is so useless. I have no idea why it's mandatory in yrs 11 and 12. My future as a (hopefully) software engineer is being assessed on how well I analyse film techniques and feelings in books. NESA need to get into the 21st century lmao.

[@ArtofSmartTV]

Yes, it is one of the unfortunate realities. The real word rewards depth (in specific areas), but the HSC rewards breadth. There are lots of different ways into university however, so push through, and you'll still get into software engineering!

Relatable

[@davidlp3019]

You were right. 8 months later and got a 78 atar (needed at 75 to get into course). Got a 75 in English standard which scaled down to 74 HSC mark. Pretty happy it's over haha.

[@PL-oz2so]

English is NOT useless. It's much more than memorising film techniques and character feelings in books. English is one of the most common languages in the world. Without English, you would struggle to get decent job prospects in first world countries like Australia. English helps you to communicate with others, and understand others' feelings. It's great you want to be a software engineer but honestly you would definitely find it difficult to get a job without understanding English language. When you apply for interviews you would need have good English or bosses are less likely to hire you. There's so many people in developing countries that want to learn English so they can get jobs overseas, and complaining about how 'useless' it is isn't going to get you higher grades. Don't take your education for granted.

@@PL-oz2so mate I've lived in Australia all my life. I speak English fluently. English after year 10 is pointless. HSC English does not teach you the language. Instead, I sat there listening to a teacher explain how an author has a sexual relationship with a pen. (Not joking). The content is just total nonsense. The weekend I finished HSC I went down the south coast with some mates and burnt all my English, it felt so good lol. Now I've got my atar I'll never use it ever again.

Thanks really helped me out!

[@ArtofSmartTV]

Awesome to hear :)

[@Cklone21]

I've heard that possible questions may be written speeches or newspaper articles, in addition to essays. How would I tackle those types of questions?

[@ArtofSmartTV]

Yes, there is more scope in the questions as well. This was theoretically also in the old syllabus I believe (as in scope for responses beyond simple a creative writing short story), but they never did test for it. I think it's a matter of a) getting familiar with the conventions and structures of the different text types b) then practicing writing your responses in these structures.

What English course would be needed to do a pdhpe teaching degree?

Doesn't matter you do advanced regardless Source: I do English standard

Would memorising the text be a viable option lol?

[@ArtofSmartTV]

Haha, in short, the better you know the text, the better you will go...
