I feel like this is likely too because they haven't done it since the first exam with this syllabus so surelllyyyyy they're not making it another 25 mark of death

idt theyve ever done a 25 marker creative before w this syllabus tho

+ when i say waffle i dont mean start calling things photosynthetically anachronistic just incorporate lit theory e.g. mimetics, reader-response etc. even if u make it rly simple it gets the marks

This is so good because i always want to write like a weird thing focused on a central metaphor and then, if theres a reflection, explain how its a metaphor for feminist struggles or some shit but freak out cause it doesn't have a storyline so I just cross it out and write a tacky year 6 story that ends w everyone happy hahaha

i smell a split analytical/creative this year....

 

[band6yesplease]

oh no

it's kinda good cause surely they won't inflict so much pain 2 years in a row hahahhaha

and surely they realised the JRAHS-esque schools are just mass producing pre-prepared creatives so its unfair

If they wanna make it ocd friendly then it will be full creative but I agree I think it's most likely it will be split. I hope so at least. 25 mark analytical will be a welcome surprise though but looking at the track record they might have out done it

Idk how it aligned last year because there's no data for it but if everyone magically did well last year I bet they would have learnt their lesson

This actually made me laugh out loud idk why HAHAHA
Come on NESA we believe in you

You're right about they may have overdone analytical BUT maybe they'll do it to try and trick us...

 

[unhealthyharold]

so. anyone know how to write a critical

I did it in trials and I thought it was absolute rubbish and I got 23/25 for it heh I feel like they mark easier cause its a harder question type so that's good news.
Idak how to though like I just found 3 themes common to the extracts/question then answered the question with a focus on contextual stuff and culture...
Texts, Culture and Values is the year 11 thing we learnt about and one of my friends split her analytical like that and got a dece mark i think so that's not a bad idea
