This is in regards to the English Modules. I am a terribly slow writer and cannot write in an essay structure quickly. For the trials, I wrote half essay and half point form and managed an average mark of 14/20 for each Module. If I were to do this in the HSC and write in point form, what marks would I be looking at? Would it be harder to manage decent marks?

Not very well, part of the criteria is to sustain a coherent and well argued response. Point form doesn't do that.

But in comparison with not getting all the information down what would be the better method?

If you have 5 minutes to go and you've just started your last essay, I guess you don't have much of a choice.

Try to manage your time well to avoid this, i.e hit that 38ish min mark, move onto the next essay

If you can't write enough, then I think it would be better to write shorter essays instead of not finish them
