    General Thoughts: English Paper 1 (AOS)

    It was tough. I barely had enough time and I'm certain I bombed the blind texts. The essay however was basically EXACTLY what I guessed so I was quite prepared for it!

    AOS blind texts - how many lines for each q?!

    In the AOS, there are usually 2x2mark questions, 2x3mark and 1x5mark. I've been taught to aim for two pages for the 5 mark, but how many lines for everything else?!

    Word count by the end of holidays

    I haven't really done any substantial cohesive writing. I've written a few 50-500 word paragraphs here and there, but nothing is set.

    Would love some guidance in Science Fiction

    Frankenstein is only going to be used as a related text in this assessment, not in the exam, so my teacher said that it's fine to use. And thank you!

    Dropping to 10 units

    I'm dropping to 10 units because I hate my 12th unit and know it will drag me down and definitely be the one that isn't counted in my ATAR. Anyone else who dropped to 10 units or is going to, what are your thoughts and why are you doing/did you do it?

    Word count by the end of holidays

    I don't know, I think I'm just suffering writers block. The ideas and the plot line are clear enough in my head, I just can't get anything substantial and cohesive down.

    How do you study?

    I write summaries and use only the information in my summary to answer practice questions (like an open book test). I also shorten my summaries every so often, sometimes completely re-write them with additional research and then attempt more questions. Sometimes I attempt the question more than...
