I mean a 7/10 is still really good in my eyes! So even if you used the same one, it wouldnt be too drastic.
Be sure to sprinkle in a bit of personal voice…for me i usually follow the (very loose) structure of:

“i wanted to craft a text that /exposes/highlights/explores (xyz). I found that (perscribed text) effectively/skillfully etc did this through the use of (literary technique/structure), so i utilised this same technique in order to acieve this same effect. This can be seen when i (extract from your text)”
Of course thats not a strict or exhaustive guideline, thats just what i think whenever i write reflections. You may also want to mention where you could have improved…although im not sure of weather thats neccessary id have to check marking guidelines, take this with a grain of salt!
OH YES AND OF COURSE quote your perscribed text too! Or dont…depending on what the technique is. Like if your perscribed uses, lets say, personal pronouns i believe its ok to just say “I”, or if its split up or arranged in a certain way, it would be hard to exactly quote that without using the entire text. Lol.

Thank you so much for that...what do you recommend in terms of a possible word count (I know it would amount to 500 max, but how much detail should be required for my work compared to the prescribed text )

There isn't exactly any rules per see...but I'd say that, because its a reflection, meaning its personal, markers are expecting that personal refelction/voice to come through. Its how you used your prescribed text, and whatever textual devices they use as a springboard for your own writing. Mod C is all about reflecting and considering the writing process personally, so id say a good chunk- going to say 70-60% - should be on your own text! Just be sure to back everything up with evidence though, while its a personal reflection its still largely critical. Eg, in the personal segments of the reflection be sure to mention how it helped convey whatever idea you wanted to convey with texual evidence from your own text.

How many words you do i reckon, depending on your writing speed, anywhere between 200-500. Though i usually don't think about word count too much when i write because i tend to go over the limit regardless, LOL, so i cant give any practical advice there!

Hope this helped at all :)

When we get our ATAR's on the 18th of December, would it be feasible for everyone to share it here? Because a bunch may not have achieved their target ATAR and seeing everyone with really good ATARs or people just being happy with what they got, will hurt a little.
fuck you im not doing that
