Just out of curiosity- How long do people spend on Section I?
I seriously don't remember how long I spent on it in the trials and now I am wondering if I am gonna gonna feel tight for time as my creative takes me 36min, my essay about 52min which means that I have 32min for Section 1- will that be enough:bomb:

I just realised something: Section III - they're gonna fuck us up big time cos we don't have stimulus booklet like previous years. We have it easy, so they're gonna make it hard...

i think it will be a generic question focusing either on:

challenges
choices
inspiration
change
consequences/outcomes
uncertainty (or did they do that last year?)
the involuntary nature of the journey.


some of which are interchangeable....

but praying for inspiration/change. please. id be effed for challenges or choices ha.

they can't specify a poem cos people do different set texts

creative writing isnt specific to your type of journey studied. Its just about journey in general....

and it wont be a travel article lol i dont think the bos is out to get u.. thats y its been a narrative all this time - coz they wanna test the way u wrtie imaginatively and a narrative is the best way to do that

and the ppl saying that it will be hard coz no stimulus booklet - i disagree

instead, they might ask us for 2 related texts instead of one plus a stimulus one.. in the catholic trial they only asked for one though... in the independant one they asked for two...

I was really taken off guard when I realised that there was no stimulus booklet this year... I spent two days going, "Where the Hell is this stimulus booklet!?"

I'm still worried about the Text of own choice deal :S

I don't know if it has been posted but the guy/girl that said the 2001 essay was a magazine article was wrong!!

It was a story to an article

since 2001-2007 only a LETTER has been asked outside a story/general statement
