[pm123]

How did everyone find the written exam today?

[shazzam]

OMG I feel it was better than 2017, but the letter writing was hard. What question did you choose for section 3?

I chose the Hindi film actor topic, where you had to write an informative article. Yeah letter writing was hard. It was restrictive in a way as well, because there were so many points to add in. What did you choose for s3?

[shazzam]

I chose the diary entry. But it was so weird cause I didn't know if the image was suppose to be included in it. Also how did you listening last question? Not enough time to finish

That’s why I didn’t choose the diary entry. Like I wasn’t sure if we were suppose to use the image or not, because usually the image question is devoted to creative writing. The last listening question was ok, but my spelling was not great. I don’t know if I included all the points though. What about the samoohik vivaah one? How did you find that? Also, did anyone get time to check over any of their writing pieces?

[shazzam]

Yea I didn't talk about the image at all. Not enough time to finish the the smoohik one. Idk about u guys but I feel the assessors gave us less time cause we spend like 15 mins reading time

Yeah, because with us they started late, but still finished at 4:40. Hopefully the scaling is good this year though. Don’t you guys think that the scaling is so random from year to year?

[shazzam]

IKR. The 2009 scaled by like 10 but then the 2016 was like 3

Omigod, at first I did not believe you. But it actually scales as high as German. Why does the scaling change so dramatically each year?

[shazzam]

I think there aren't enough people doing it so individual people make a big difference? IDK this is confusing

[Lear]

Scaling of a subject is dependent on how the cohort of that specific subject go in their other subjects. For example if the cohort all seem to do terrible yet are smashing their other subjects the subject is likely to scale up.
This, naturally, is likely to change every year due to the small cohort size of subjects such as these.

I hope you all aced your exams

I don’t know about that. Cause the mean as study score for Hindi in 2009 was similar to last year, yet last year the scaling was less than 2009. How do you think it’s gonna scale this year?

Oh ok. Hopefully it works out well this year.

Did you guys find the reading an responding first two reading comprehensions a bit tough? Especially the second one for me- I put morphology and mythology, but I’m not sure if it’s eniugh for part a. Part b for that one was kind of just eh

I thought the reading and responding was quite fair, cause it has been harder in the past. Mythology?? Isn’t that पौराणिक कथाएँ? I did not see that in the text...
