Your thoughts on the english regents?

Question

did anyone take the comprehensive english regents? HOLY s**t! It was one of the most horrible things I have ever seen! The essays were so stupid especially the critical lens what the fock did that quote say??

Answer 1

I thought it was pretty easy..

I went a little off topic on the critical lens essay though =X

Answer 2

holy **** i sat there staring at the cirtical lens for like 30min.

what the h**l? it is a persons lot to try and fail! ridiculous.

task 1 and 2 were joke, and 3 was also kind of easy, but the lens stumped me.

i interpreted it that it is in our human nature to attempt and not succeed and i proved it wrong.

Answer 3

i thought the english was easy. the tasks were very boring though. n i think i took the longest time on the nature one. The critical lens was easy, as long as you prove your interpretation of it you're fine.

Answer 4

I totally agree with you about the "nature" controlling idea essay. It was so boring. I read it 500 times, but nothing went through my brain. It was too boring. I think that is the only essay I did horrible on in the entire English regents. The critical lens essay, however, wasn't bad at all. It took me like 5 minutes to figure out what the quote meant, but when know the meaning, I wrote till I ran out of paper. I was cheating on the critical lens because I had the format of the essay inside my desk. My proctor caught me but just told me to put it away. I love that teacher. Overall, for the second session of the English regents, I would give it a 7/10.
