Also guys for band a response, you need sufficient textual referencing, now textual referencing is just referencing texts, so getting quotes, ideas, examples etc. ?

I write about 900 in 40mins ha!

My main issue rn is "have I spent enough time on english?" conflicting with "have I been wasting time studying english?"

Woot, can finish my creative in 25-29 minutes. Given I spend all 40 minutes on the short answer questions, that's 50 minutes on the essay! :D

Someone I know wrote 2 pages, around 400 words and got 14/15 :/
Are you sure? In the HSC???

I remember getting rekt purely because my story was too short, around 400-500 words, last year. He said it was a great story, just way too short.
