does anyone think mod c's gonna be like last year and only have persuasive/discursive?
Just be prepared for anything. Make sure (at the bare minimum) your mod c is flexible enough to be either an imaginative or discursive, but ideally, practice doing both. Make sure you have a couple quotes from your two mod C prescribed texts. Predicting won't acheive much, instead just be ready to work with what NESA gives you.

I'd say you could go 5 minutes over. Since common mod is 45 minutes recommended, but in paper 2 you know you can write an essay in 40 minutes, writing your common mod in 40 minutes shouldn't be too much of a stretch.

You have 2 minutes and 15 seconds per mark in paper 1. But I would suggest try sticking to two mintes per mark to make sure you have time to spend on the tricker questions. Like, 15 seconds doesn't seem like a lot, but it will be so worth it, espescially when it you get to the part of section 1 where your student number shows up again (which signals you are in the common questions b/w standard and adv, meaning markers will be expecting a higher quality of writing).

yes could be but could also be a choice

but one thing thats definite is a reflection this year. leaving out a reflection 2 years in a row is not possible as reflections r part of the syllabus and not including one means nesa is straying away from the syllabus. so yeh definitely prepare a reflection

hmmm i may be wrong but isnt it always a reflection on the stimulus? bc if ur creative/discursive is adapted to the stimulus ur gonna have to ultimately adapt ur reflection to suit the certain context. i may wrong so dont take my word for it!!🙃
