I'm thinking of trying to get mine done in about 25 - 30 minutes.

To give more time for essay writing and short answers, I am kind of a slow writer but I can get 13/15 in 650 words (making it up to around 800 for HSC)

Thoughts?

Remember the creative is marked differently...dont think just because your teacher gives you 13 it's a 13. It's worth the same as everything else, and should be of similar length as the rest.

Doing section 1, then 3. Then I'll use the remaining time for the creative.

Yeah I'm aware, I just think the creative is a lot more focused on quality over quantity, whereas your essay needs both.

Doing section III, I then II. Gives me time at the end to cut my story short if need to be. (hoping 2 pages minimum. looking at 3 pages max) since BOS line spacing is 1 cm, 2 pages is easily done.

do section 1 first, so that you dont forget what your read in the reading time and don't have to go back and read it again during the exam. however if you have a super good memory, go for it!

I can do mine in 30. Got 15 by my teacher with 1000 words (that would take me 40+ mins to write lol, I am a slow writer too), cut it down and got 14 in trials with ~750 words -> externally marked by experienced creative hsc marker

improved it a bit since then so hoping i can get 15 now with 30mins :p good luck with yours!

Im going Creative Writting first should take up about 35 Min, then section one hoping to do in around 30-35 minutes, hopefully leaving me with 50 minutes to write me Essay.


How long does everyone expect Section I to take?
