I used two related texts also, i guess i read the paper wrong 
I talked to my teacher after and she said it shouldn't matter. here's hoping she's right ...
Overall I'm pretty happy with it, creative writing question was so open - did anyone feel the plant imagery benefited their story?
Page numbers - 9/ 10/ 11.5, my hand hurts like hell :\

I thought it was pretty good, I did the 1st section too long and skipped to third and scribbled the third in >20 min and still managed to complete it!
I always thought of English as not asking "Will I get penalised for it?" But instead "You just won't get the mark"
is it cool for the 3rd section that we did 2 Poems (Skrzynecki) and Remember the Titans? Cause thats what I did.

Section I - Questions were fine up until d) and e).
Section II - Loved it. Wrote my story almost word for word (just chucked in a bit more about existing to get my point across). Probably chose a weird angle to approach it from but I think it worked well in the end.
Section III - The quote was basically my thesis. Prescribed and related texts worked really well (Douglas Adams = awesome!). Finished my essay but conclusion was a little weak.
For the most part it was an alright paper. There was something I didn't like about it but I'm not entirely sure what.

I thought the exam was excellent, although I feel like I could've done much better.
I only spent 15 minutes on the first section because I thought I was running out of time so I sped through it.
Section 2 was great, it did not screw me over like the previous exams I had done and I was able to remember my short story although I did rush through it.
Section 3 was a breeze, I was relieved when they told me to do only one related text because it meant I could go more in-depth with my analysis.
Overall it was a good exam.

um did i read that correctly? 32 pages for creative, and that was half of it?? and you didnt even attempt section one or three?
buddy, you're in trouble.
Didn't go that bad.
Just relieved to get my first paper done and over with. Well... Still have the other half of the English exam to go ):
I started on section 3, then went onto 1 and finished off with 2. Had a few minutes spare, and like usual I didn't check over my essay or creative :/
But I'm not sure if I wrote enough though: 4/8/6 pages (in smaller writing - small compared to the size I've seen in the standards package) for the the sections, respectively. Hmm... I don't get why people would write 19348729 pages for section one, I mean you only need so much :/

I actually don't know how to feel about this paper.
I SUPPOSE it was good, but then there are a few things I'm uncertain about:
> How well the creative I wrote actually fits with the stimulus.
Question: even though the question said to write a piece that "celebrates" relationships, etc. - I wrote about a kid who doesn't belong then gains a sense of security through friendship? Is that the same as celebrating it?!
glad that everyone went well.
