Yeeaah it was a little bit crazy aye... I continued the story on from there, and what happened to the characters once the author stopped writing midway.

Re: Extension Exam - How'd it go?

I just did Module A genre for science fiction. I had 15 pages for the essay and 14 pages for the creative. The questions were great for what I prepared, I couldn't be happier.

Re: Extension Exam - How'd it go?

My essay was 12.5 pages but my short story was only 5 pages (haha probably dropped about 10 marks right there). I was doing 'After the Bomb' - that stimulus for the creative with the train was weird...

This will probably be my best English exam ever. I did Module B: Texts and Ways of Thinking Elective 1: After the Bomb and used two full booklets each for both the essay and the creative, making a total of 4 booklets, with 10 words per line. Close to and approaching 2000 words for both essay and creative, so pleased :p
