Spent an hour on each of them and didn't bother doing the creative option (which I was under prepared for) because I didn't want it bringing my mark down. All in all, I thought it was easier than I'd expected

Im not sure if you're being serious
He's just recounting his experience from last year. ;)

Doubt he's serious though.

I actually do know a kid who skipped creative writing section last year in the HSC. He still got a final aligned mark of 88.

Pretty happy with AOS paper.

Creative was perfectly aligned to my story. Essay was pretty goood. Should get close to full marks for short answers. Hoping for a 42+ (maybe that can redeem my shocking Hamlet)

BUT - the only thing that has me thinking is the fact that the short answer questions never explicitly mentioned belonging (so neither did I - I just wrote extensively on whatever the q was asking) - thoughts? Do you have to link it to belonging even though its not in the question?

Nah, belonging is only the central study and It's the whole idea of why you're sitting the next, but it remains unnecessary to write about it.

It doesn't

It increased my writing speed profoundly in the English exam

Did I just say HSC is intellectual? Philosophical?

Let me correct myself - mindless wrotelearning that is of no practical or intellectual use**

no

lift more = strengthen muscles = write for longer

ever wonder why I carry a 30kg briefcase as my schoolbag?

So I know your a troll but I'll dispute your claim anyway..

The skills used to violently write 1000+ word essays are not the same as those to deadlift. It's fine motor vs gross motor. The small muscles in your forearm/ hand don't get really get trained in any significant way that will add to your writing skills when you lift heavy shit
