My slightly botched approach is to pick a related quote for each para to use as supporting evidence for my already established argument. Pray tell the question isn't specifically referencing the nature of the extract else imma be not very happy (same for mod b).
thats the manoeuvre

all i want is a 15 or above for mod c :(
tbf if they made two extracts this year for mod a and b (selected poem) this year and still made reading comp hard, doing anything to mod c would just make scaling go crazy, although I haven't seen any like insane deviations in terms of difficulty from nesa before.

hoping scaling goes crazy this year wonder why it was not so good last year, according to the database previous years about 85 guaranteed you a band 6 but it went up to 87

last yr had fine reading comp, general common mod, general mod a, general mod b, only problem was mod c so scaling was never going to be insane. I think that our reading comp has been harder, common mod question the same (although probs worst cause people just prepared paradoxes, anomalies, inconsistencies) and then if they make paper 2 harder, then yeh there will be good scaling.

for reflections how long is a 10, 8 and 5 mark reflection? does it go from 3 tech/para to 2 tech/para and then 1 tech/para?
5 marks i would say like one BP with one quote from prescribed + one from your own + structural techniques and anything more would be 2 BP with same structure but different "themes"

I'm just praying for NESA to let us off lightly with general questions and a 20 mark mod c with a stimulus. Naturally I will be wrong and we will get a horrible paper but I can hope
