I had 20 minutes left over at the end. It wasn't a fun way to end. :(
Same here.

I was bored so I read back over my crap, fixed some punctuation, grammar and spelling. All the things that don't actually matter in a HSC English exam :rolleyes:

Part 1, approx 20 min, part 2 required 40 min
part 3, any time that was left and could have used some more. Felt as though I was writing sheer garbage.

I just finished my creative piece in time. I was freakin out about the time tho
There's not enough time to write what you want to write
thats too true
NOT ENOUGH TIME!!
i took way to much over time section one, did anyone else get 4 texts in their trials?
cause i only got 3 and it was too much hassle for section one. the others were fine

i found that alot of ppl had difficulty in finishing the paper properly, or if they finihsed it they spent like 10-15 on one section......how do ppl manage that....why not jsut stick to 40 mins, and then move on, u get stuck otherwise. i was reading some thing and they suggested that u shouldnt spend more than an extra 5 mins of one section, coz u'll end up running behind
thats my thought neways
