Do they have curve-ball questions in every exam for English? It's hard for me to tell due to the massive syllabus changes.

Hope they don't, don't wanna be the first cohort to suffer.

 

[Thunderstorm]

The whole subject is a curveball

People tend to spend the least amount of time on creative.

Depends if you've got things memorised. It varies for everyone but just an indication of what I do (I can write pretty fast), 30 min creative, 35-40 on the essay and the rest of the time on short answers. Paper two you should distribute your time evenly.

I just did my AOS essay with one ORT (two paragraphs, so four paragraphs in total) and it took me 30 mins :') Hopefully it's the same case for Monday

yep you'll probably write faster under pressure but don't forget you need time to adapt to the question/stimulus, probably adds an extra 100-150 words

some people write their prescribed and related in one paragraph, doesn't make a huge difference I don't think

[turntaker]

[jackleung34]

[Flop21]

I'm going in with a positive attitude. However I do feel like I'm just running on hope and luck at the moment... but oh well we can only do our best.



And I refuse to believe anyone on this forum hasn't studied at all lol.

I am worried for english. Can only write 1000-1100 words in 40 minutes with my scribbly writing, and that's if i am writing constantly. So the parts when i have to adapt to the question will slow me down a bit, meaning I will probably only be able to get 950 - 1000 words in for the hard questions (aka Hamlet, People an Politics).
