I'm predicting a 15/10 split with a critical + discursive piece 🥲

critical/discursive would feel too similar - surely not.
i reckon full 25 SOMETHING.

mmm well they havent done the split since 2019? rest has been 25ers, maybe that means they will split again, or maybe they dont like that and want us to do 25 critical or creative AGAIN. well im reusing my Mod C mostly so what will be will be oof

[nitroexcalibur]

does anyone else do reimagined worlds as their module elective or whatever it’s called? I literally had to write 2 different essays depending on how many related texts they ask for cause my teacher made us

ok realistically what are the chances for a reflection - all trial papers do it yet it hasnt popped up in the hsc

i asked our gc people said they dont think it will happen as it disadvantages or advantages some schools that have to write about 2 related and like us who are only 1 related. like a selective school near us has to write about 2 but we're just a catholic school and only have to write about 1

doesnt the course mandate study of atleast 2 related?

 

[enchantedivory27]

yeah we looked at a lot of related and learnt about them, but our teachers said its ok to focus on one to actually write about in essays

 

[AWM]

yeah so technically if nesa were to ask for two it wouldn't be a huge surprise since it's on the syllabus. I really hope they don't tho, there will be tears in every examination hall
