This question was the best! I've written 12pages on it. It was a 'dream' (dreams are quite common isnt it) how i was he third person viewing the life of my father when he had existed.
30mins! WOOH!

hmmm, i liked it. i can't really describe in short what i wrote about, but i was really happy with it and found the little stimulus things very good. i used the detour one metaphorically as in detour in time... yeah, won't go on :)

I wrote 6 and used the Detour one too.
And I Was able to adapt my storyline!!!
Very pleased with that.
Anyways was everyone else able to adapt a preprepared storyline?
Or did u make one up on the spot?

I wrote 3 pages, thinking that we had 15 minutes more than we actually did have. I predict 10/15 or thereabouts doh. oh well.

My story was about a homeless guy thinking back to when he was a child and his parents died etc. It ended up being way too brief.

3 and a half decent stacked pages for this one. the stimulus was good as well, you could have any story and it would have fitted the stimulus easily.

I used the one with the stamps, it was about going overseas and being bitterly disapointed.

It was 4 pages.

as usual, made it up on the spot, i used a prepared intro though.

I only wrote 4, but that's all i needed to write I actually had 10 mins. to spare so i went bak to section 1 and polished off my answers!... i learnt my lesson from the trials where i needed an extra 15 minutes to complete the exam!

it was ok, i found it to be easier than last yrs!

Excatly, so according to the examiner, does it matter which one you chose?

or did you guys say what one you were doing at the beginning?

Meh... I wrote 4 pages for the Creative Response (Q2). It's a very good 4 pages in my opinion though, so hopefully thats enough.

I hear some people wrote 10+ pages... wtf!? Is that necessary for band6 ?

4 pages can get a band 6, as long as its got quality.. nah 10 pages isnt necessary for a band 6,It all comes down to whether its a good 10 pages or 10 pages of 'ramble', the same goes for 4 pages!

some ppl write 10+ pages, and end up getting the same mark as u... Quality matters not quantity, although quantity does matter if uve only done 1 or 2 pages!
