    Given the changes to the HSC exam in 2009
     and the current exam structure changes for
    2010, it is (in my opinion) VERY important to
      note the above point in relation to exam

                                        Questions B & C
                                          from same
                                         syllabus area!
Other points raised
►  (limited) Range of terms used in syllabus not indicative of
 what may be used in HSC
 i.e can use other terms as opposed to those used in syllabus
►Stimulus Material- have to reference to - not a “distracter”
 but actually a resource that can be used in answering your
 question/s.
►Section II- note range of marks (can now exceed 6/
 section)
►Peace   question (SOR II)= “extended response” .: same style
 as /20 question
►Section II and III- there will be an “administration check”
 after the papers have been marked to ensure correct religions
 have been done (i.e have not done the same one 2/3 times!)
 - take the best mark of similar questions as your mark /35
 or /50
►Rubric=  no mention of “religious traditions” but you have to
 use them WHERE APPROPRIATE i.e don’t force yourself to
 mention them if not applicable
►Significant Aspects
►Use of language and terminology
►Presents ideas clearly and is well structured
►Can  double dip in some areas (Sect II and into Sect III)
 i.e concept of asking the same thing ‘twice’ (/15 then in /20)
 .: have to be prepared for the unexpected
 .: knowledge of syllabus is a good thing!
“00” Vs “0”
►Major  difference now between a non-serious attempt and just
 getting it ‘wrong’
 Marking criteria has no zero grade as such
 .: MUST ATTEMPT EVERYTHING- don’t leave gaps as marks
 are there to be given.
Expected lengths?

►Now   stated as 600 words/4 exam booklet pages for /15 and
 800 words/6 exam booklet pages /20
►NOTE: 1.8 minutes per mark so this should also be a guide
 for lengths etc
The 2009 HSC
►NB- The ‘traditional structure’ of the questions changed in the
 20 mark section.

 “And it came to pass, when he had sat down with them to meat, he took
 the1 bread and blessed; and breaking it he gave to them. 31And their
 eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their
 sight. 32And they said one to another, Was not our heart burning within
 us, while he spake to us in the way, while he opened to us the
 scriptures?” (Luke 24:30-32)
 With reference to Luke’s post-resurrection account in the
 quotation, assess Christianity as a living religious tradition in the
 life of its adherents.
                                                               47
Therefore……...
►YOU MUST KNOW THE SYLLABUS AREAS AND WHAT
 THE SYLLABUS ASKS YOU TO DO

 -> ‘STUDENTS LEARN ABOUT’ AND ‘STUDENTS LEARN
 TO’
►Huge stress on ‘develop(ing) a comprehensive view of
 religious traditions and the link this has on the life of
 adherents’ (pg 37 of syllabus)
►Essay writing practice is also a ‘must do’ task (but don’t
 pre-empt essay questions and then use these for
 memorisation (pre-planned essays)
                                                    48

  • 9. The syllabus on p 37 states the aim of SOR is to 'develop a comprehensive view of religious traditions and the link this has on the life of adherents' Given the changes to the HSC exam in 2009 and the current exam structure changes for 2010, it is (in my opinion) VERY important to note the above point in relation to exam question structure. 4
  • 10. Section I: Religion and Belief Systems in Australia post-1945 15 marks
  • 11. Section I: Religion and Belief Systems in Australia post-1945 15 marks ►This section is comprised of ‘objective response’ questions and one short-answer question.

  • 14. Added information NOTE: Objective Response Questions ►An objective response question is a style of question that requires no ‘detail’ or ‘explanation’. ►Usually Multiple Choice but a Board Officer (in a phone conversation (17/6/2010) has indicated that in the future, Objective Response Questions could also take the form of True/False, ‘Line up the correct answers’ etc. She confirmed that the 2010 HSC will be Multiple Choice.
  • 15. Added information ►NOTE: Numbering system of Multiple Choice for SOR I/II is as follows; 1-10= M/C 11= Short Answer 12-21=M/C (SOR II ONLY) 22= Short Answer (SOR II ONLY) ►M/C will be answered on two answer sheets ►Short answer response sheet is in the exam paper itself (~3/4 page of writing)

CAREFUL USING PAST PAPERS AS A SAMPLE ►Students will complete ONE question from Section II. (SOR I students only) ►2010-EXPECTED LENGTH OF RESPONSE= 600 words/4 pages
  • 22. Analysis of BOS Examples ►Analysis of BOS samples for Section II indicate the following: 1) Minimum of 3 (?) 2) .: Maximum of 9 Questions can be independent of each other (ie a/b/c follow the syllabus of personality/ethics/ritual) or The questions can be dependent upon each other. i.e two questions from the same syllabus point or all three questions from the same point 9

  • 26. NOTE ►Ifyou know your syllabus, only the Ritual section allows for 3 Dependent Parts (Describe/Demonstrate/Analyse) ►The other two sections (Personality and Ethics) are: Personality-Explain and Analyse Ethics-Describe and Explain ►BUT...this doesnt mean the Board won’t/can’t ask a 3 dependent part question for Personality/Ethics……… (impact on life of adherents point from start) 13

  • 88. Considerations ►Choice of Religious Tradition for Sections II and Section III ►Preparation for the unexpected Questions B & C from same syllabus area!
  • 89. Other points raised ► (limited) Range of terms used in syllabus not indicative of what may be used in HSC i.e can use other terms as opposed to those used in syllabus ►Stimulus Material- have to reference to - not a “distracter” but actually a resource that can be used in answering your question/s. ►Section II- note range of marks (can now exceed 6/ section)
  • 90. ►Peace question (SOR II)= “extended response” .: same style as /20 question ►Section II and III- there will be an “administration check” after the papers have been marked to ensure correct religions have been done (i.e have not done the same one 2/3 times!) - take the best mark of similar questions as your mark /35 or /50

  • 95. The 2009 HSC ►NB- The ‘traditional structure’ of the questions changed in the 20 mark section. “And it came to pass, when he had sat down with them to meat, he took the1 bread and blessed; and breaking it he gave to them. 31And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight. 32And they said one to another, Was not our heart burning within us, while he spake to us in the way, while he opened to us the scriptures?” (Luke 24:30-32) With reference to Luke’s post-resurrection account in the quotation, assess Christianity as a living religious tradition in the life of its adherents. 47
  • 96. Therefore……... ►YOU MUST KNOW THE SYLLABUS AREAS AND WHAT THE SYLLABUS ASKS YOU TO DO -> ‘STUDENTS LEARN ABOUT’ AND ‘STUDENTS LEARN TO’ ►Huge stress on ‘develop(ing) a comprehensive view of religious traditions and the link this has on the life of adherents’ (pg 37 of syllabus) ►Essay writing practice is also a ‘must do’ task (but don’t pre-empt essay questions and then use these for memorisation (pre-planned essays) 48
