I'm genuinely curious why people don't think it'll be a thematic essay this year?? I got the vibe that it would be on a specific theme seeing as they haven't done that since 2019
Also the fact that the english syllabus is changing soon..... I have obviously very little basis for this but I just feel like maybe we'll get something a little more complex than the previous 3, it feels like they've barely delved into much of the module (especially like the paradoxes part, or theme stuff like you said). But I guess we'll find out soon enough o_O we all know they could literally do anything.

About how much can everyone write for the common mod essay? I've heard 1000-1200 is best but in the 45 mins, I find I can only reach about 900.

In my experience, 900 words should be fine. As long as your argument is clear, and you have well chosen quotes/techniques to back it up it should be fine.

1200 but 900 should be fine as long as you answer the q directly

one trick I use to write more is to get myself to try and finish the essay in 35-40 minutes, it's just this weird mental trick i have that ends up working
