i think that should be fine considering in an exam ur likely to write faster anyways due to stress!

all depends on quotes though. nobody is gonna type up ur essay and check if its ai or not. Hsc markers anyways have like 8 to 10 minutes to mark each paper so they wont be bothered. but check ur quotes they will mark u down if ur quotes are wrong.
Alright sick thanks. I wrote the essay myself, but felt it was mid so I used AI to combine elements of a similar exemplar, but I personally pulled all the quotes out myself so I should be gucci.

yeah my teacher said they just mark whats on the paper so they can't bring in a bias thinking it could be ai w/out proof. Just make sure you dont use em dashes or anything like that cause then they have like "proof" to submit it for enquiry.

maybe just in case put ur original essay in again and put a prompt like: make this essay better but don't change any quotes or analysis and you'll get a high quality one

I haven't seriously touched ai ever cause I consider it so harmful to humanity in so many different ways yall better not all use ai cause then imma be at a serious disadvantage lmao
ai is truly a blessing but its gonna take YEARS for it to develop the same conscience as humans and if it does the earth will be eradicated.

Tbh with english people who write it themselves / dont use ai are likely to get better marks cuz its obvious when something is written by ai (it doesn't mention the rubric terminiolgoy at all, doesnt answer the question properly, structure is off, techniques are eh, analysis is so brief)

That’s why ur below average

im not saying stuff out of my ass my teacher has said that too
+ i used three quotes in each of my body paras for trials and got a band 6 for common mod so shut the fuck up

3 quotes per paragraph is perfectly fine, ive gotten multiple 17s/18s with 9 quotes per essay and I know people who have got 20 with 9 and my school marks quite harsh. It really depends on how good your analysis is, and how well the quotes link to the question / your key arguments. Quantity does not equal quality and even then with 5 quotes per paragraph I struggle to see how you finish an essay. I can do 1100-1300 word essays in 45/50m and thats just enough time (for me with deep analysis and links to the q) to get 9 quotes. But then again its different for everyone.
