[reniiiblaseee]

that paper was so dragged tho like u cant give text specific question, an extract AND a forced imaginative with a stupid ass stimulus and a random ass reflection like fuck u nesa

did u like the imaginative? i swear the prompt would’ve been a great discursive that’s why it sucks

Did majority of people like or dislike the paper? I’m worried this may make the scaling bad again and I NEED that scaling to account for my iffy essays

no clue I didn’t actually do any of the past papers as whole papers, I just picked random questions during my practise

Real. I did that too so I never understand when people are talking about specific paper question.
Also I think scaling might be good or medium-ish cause from what I'm hearing everyone struggled with at least on section from paper 2 and also short answer. So hopefully its good.

don't think so... i'll post it as soon as i can get a hold of the papers but that'll probably be at the same time everyone gets them

Henry mod b.... Thank god all of my concepts were related to the ending scene.

Why did it have to be the ending that was like the one section I had nothing on
I wrote the worst essay of my life for that

 

[Reasonabledoubt]

my mod c imaginative was shorter than my reflection is this bad

How long was ur imaginative?

4 pages i think? stop im gonna cry

 

[Kat.crazi]

4 pages i think? stop im gonna cry

Nah I’ve heard some people did 2-3
Mine was about 5 but I also had a long reflection. I did similar in trials (had the same 12-8 distribution) and got 20/20 so a length of 4-5 pages is fine I think as long as the quality is there
Also if you consider there are 7 pages in the booklet, and the ratio of marks is 3:2, technically they would expect about 4.2 pages for your imaginative if you were to complete the booklet

does anyone have the word for word Adv Mod C question?

(a) Craft an imaginative piece of writing which incorporates the provided image as the focus of your narrative.

(b) Explain how you have incorporated the provided image to shape meaning in your narrative, making close reference to your specific language choices in part (a).

most of my friends agreed the mod a question was pretty gruelling despite it not really having any overt traps (the wording was kinda wack) and the mod b question was very generous even though it had an extract (which is typically viewed as harder because your memorised essay will have to be adapted more significantly)

though idk it could be different my school does tempest/hagseed and goodnight & good luck

Guys how did people interpret the extract with the rocks in short answer? I used the personal anecdote and linked that to creativity but idk people were literally talking about rocks and I didn’t even mention that..

I didn't talk about rock at all. I normally read the question first and then find whatever fits so normally I don't even know what the whole text is about.

I just talked about how the author celebrates the process of creativity by showing how it means different things for different people or something.
