honestly i have no idea how to prepare for mod c other than making it up on the spot because what can i even memorise esp for imaginative that could be adaptable idk bc what if the stimulus is just random as fuck

its hard to memorise purely becuase they could ask the most random bullshit ever
i suppose the only way to rly prepare is just answer practice questions to give u an idea of what its like, that's what ive been doing

 

[C2H6O]

deadass i've never memorised for creative pieces before, I always do mine on the spot just by making something up

is that turning out well for you cause thats my strat and idk if i should be doing more

 

[C2H6O]

btw how do i do the thing where like all ur subjects are under ur messages

you use this website more and at a certain point (i think 30 messages or smth) you unlock the signature

can u give out tips i can never get past a 14 for mod c idk why

answer as many practice questions as possible just to give u an idea of what its like, it wont help in predicting what quesitons they'll ask but its important know the kind of vibe if u know what i mean (also ask people for feedback!!)
for creatives i recommend not have an incredibly convoluted plot line, keep the moment small but impactful, and try not to go overboard with dialogue/not introducing too many character etcs
for discursives you should aim to at least have a few real life examples within ur piece so it gives off the "exploring different perspectives" vibe like in the rubric, for example if im writing a discursive on like the power of art or some bullshit i could include a reference of that time banksy shredded his own artwork at an auction etc. etc.

I've been doing this method all throughout highschool ngl and I've always gotten decent grades, its good strategy imo

i get marked down for not adapting enough but ig its bc i blurt out my entire memorised piece so i think i should start making one on the spot related to the stimulus that involves my idea but doesnt involve me blurting out every line, thank you!

omg i have the same issue! but im so bad at making creatives on the spot so id rather my 14 marks than fail it cuz im rlly bad at making stories on the spot

ur welcome!
yeah memorised pieces tend to get mark down because markers 'recognise a pre-written piece', ive gotten marked down for that in my main essays which is why for the hsc im foccusing on only memorising quotes instead of full essays lol
i should also add that in creative pieces its important to have a personal voice/flow to ur writing, its incredibly hard to think of something unique on the spot but u could def get inspo from something personal that happened to u irl or the plot of a novel u read (not like they'll know anyway, one kid in my grade basically copied attack on titan once)

 

[tropics...]

Bro i rlly wish they had a timer instead of js the clock, it gets so confusing esp when they start late. AND i cant even sit and do one essay i start all three of them and then alternate when my memory starts jogging

 

[reniiiblaseee]

its bad but im tryna max out my essay sections so that if my mod c mark goes to shit im still gonna get my desired mark

 

[erin_4school]

and what are you gonna say so im gonna talk about resonances and disonances separetly? that defeats the whole purpose of mod a which is synthesised textual conversation. in your thesis statement for ur resonances paragraph what are u gonna say oh yeah texts dont collide?

just use the other rubric terms, like pays homage or mirrors for your resonances paragraphs, cause not all the ideas collide

omg real same

this is the first ive heard of anyone doing this method lol, i have to do my essays one by one or ill start tweaking

same i could never, id start mixing up my quotes + when I start an essay I kinda just like get tunnel vision lmao so i wouldn't be able to pull that off.

i already mix up a few words sometimes ngl, like Proctor and Prospero

ur welcome!

wait actually. But what if it fits the stimulus really well.

[yourbestfriend]

if it fits the stimulus then that's good, but the chances of ur preplanned response and the stimulus question being connected is a complete gamble imo
