guys when writing narrative and its like a mysterious, crime theme, can we mention things like murder and were investigating that? Or will they deduct points for things like murder, guns, and a dead body? In a practice test I wrote about a girl and her inner emotions and how she sturggled with things like su1c1de (like saying I wish to sleep and never wake up) and her past. The teacher did not mark me down or tell me off for that, and I got 27/30.
I'm applying for year 9 2026.

IM APPLYING FOR YEAR 8 ENTRY INTO YEAR 9 SO IF YOU TOOK THE SAME TEST AS ME LMK AND SHARE YOURE EXPIRENCE!!so.. hast is over now. how'd you guys go?
ABSTRACT REASONING
for abstract reasoning, it was SOO EASY. I finished with 3 minutes left and I reviewed and checked everything. I think I'm going to get 29/30 because I was unsure of question 16 (like im 60% sure Its correct).
MATH:
for math it was easy and hard. It was definitely a brain teaser, and it involved more reasoning than math. In that section, I did an educated guess of 7 questions. I made sure and reviewed all other questions that I could get. I finished with 5 minutes left.
ENGLISH:
For english, this was hard and easy. The first few questions were hard and I felt like it was something that made us spend more time on the first so we would run out of time. Middle was easy. The last was a poem about a hunter trying to outwit a duck which I lowk found funny. I did all questions and finshed with 7 minutes left. I am unsure about 8-9 questions.
WRITTING:
Writting was good/ok. The prompt was "being a member of a group is better than being a leader". Since I figured most people would be writting persuasive, I wrote creative. A girl trying to get into a debating team leader spot after feeling like she needed to lead and advocate for mental awareness after her freinds sudden suicide. In her viewpoint I explained and used the motif/ rhetorical question of "What good is being a follower when you aren't able to make choices? What good is being a follower when you can't this _____? I added lots of descriptive elements. the structure was clear. I feel like I might get marked down a little for grammar and spelling but hopefully I get good.
