What makes an extension imaginative/discursive different from advanced? (1 Viewer)

[Trial&Error]

Hey,

In preparation for the eng ext hsc, I've realised that I don't really know what the standards of a creative are for extension level compared to advanced. I've only written one creative this year for extension, and that was in the trials, and the question was so unique that I don't even know how I came up with it. I normally memorise my essays and creatives, but I don't know exactly what extension entails in the HSC.

And a bigger problem still is the reflection. Advanced English reflections are pretty basic and have an easy structure to follow, but what about extension? Also what are the word count expectations?

I'm pretty set with my essay, and I actually really want them to give an essay-style question for section 1. But I feel like I'm really underprepared for imaginative.

Thanks

Also do we have to use prescribed texts or something for the reflection for literary worlds?

i think in adv you are just shwoing that you can write, you have the skill to write a piece that is aesthetic and whatever and you can like take on features on from ur prescribed text. whereas in ext1 its assuemd that you can write, you are a skilled writer, so when you write you have to go beyond that and make some commentary on life, you have to have some didactic intent and you have to do that well as well
