I didn't get to finish section 2.
I did section 1 first and spent way too long on it.
Then section 3 so that i could get all those quotes and techniques out of my head.
And then got to section 2 will barely anytime left.
I think we should have more than just 2 hours atleast another 15 minutes or so.
I chose to do a story for section 2.

lol..the same thing happened 2 me! i spent lyk 50 mins on da 1st section and then I did the 3rd one and by the time I got to the second, I only had 20 mins left...I was 4 sentences away from finishing my story!

oh well, we still have around 6 more exams to conquer so let's not get too bogged down on running out of time!

My teacher said we don't get extra time because they don't want to have to pay the markers - it would take longer to mark if we had extra time. I split my time pretty evenly, although I had 45 mins for the first section which I did last. Don't worry ronkee, I usually get full marks on 5 pages, and my teacher is a really hard marker. Quality, not quantity.

I perfected my timing today. Had 5 mins to spare so just re-read over it. Then sat and stared in front of me for 1 min.

Ok so my exam went in an unothordox manner:

First, creative writing
Second, essay
Third, short answers (just missed out on the 5 mark question and other answers were rushed - damn!)

I done it in order (spent about 35 - 40 minutes on each) and finished in time. Pleaased with how I done.

haha your unothodox manner is exactly the same as mine. i was most prepared for creative and i suck at comprehension so i guess it was a no brainer for me to start with creative and finish with comprehension
