You get also get a 20 mark imaginative / discursive etc with no reflection (im pretty sure it hppned once)
If they do that im walking straught out
wdym thats so free tho, cuz if your tight on time your more likely to get a higher mark if its just 1 question rather than an imaginative and reflection

What sort of analysis do you guys have prepared for module c reflections? My trial had an 8 marker on how your stylistic hocies were influenced by prescribed texts and i somehow managed to get 7/8 with thet most bs I've ever written, I literally only had themes from the texts and no way is that going to work again in the hsc

My texts are metamorphosis and PoliticsAndTheEnglishLanguage

My teacher told us the ideal structure is:
- A broad intro about the intent of your piece + link to question
- An analysis of how your piece was influenced by one/two of your mentor text, pretty much just technique in their text -> techniques in yours
- More broad analysis of your piece without the mentor text
- Sophisticated conclusion ideally with a literary quote that sums up your piece (can be made up, I forgot the name of my critic so I wrote a random name and my teacher never noticed, realistically there are so many quotes in the world it’s believable)

If i do standard English, do you reckon it is risky to copy someone's creative piece from advanced?

if you copy someone elses it will be a massive pain to memorise and you wont rlly know how to adapt it to a question as well as ur own creative

its not risky in the sense that youll get in trouble for it(theyre not gonna check for plagiarism on a written piece), its just not the most effective strategy

unseens SUPER SUPER easy (not rlly but its doable), just go do past unseen papers and review the solutions and see what they try to recommend/push. I honestly found some english hsc vids on unseen kinda helpful. Understand the mark breakdown, how much time to allocate etc.
do you have any video recommendations?

also is it better to have a shorter essay (for mod a ) that you will definitely finish with some time to plan vs. having a more indepth essay as it talks about more techniques but risk taking time off other sections?

You always say things like this Unovan. Change up your mindset, you've got this. You seem extremely intelligent and I think you underestimate how well you're gonna go. YOU HAVE GOT THIS

In fact, we've all got this! Who cares if we don't get 99.95 we're gonna do well and get into what we want to get into. You're all amazing and I think everyone is going to do incredible.
