Hey guys, need advice

Neither of my prepared creatives have much of a plot going on. Particularly for Ext 1, where it's stream-of-consciousness. Would I be marked down for this, even if I do make the concept of discovery or genre conventions explicitly known?

And how long are Module A essays supposed to be? Mine's 1.5k and I feel that is way too long.
Even if there's no plot, something HAS to happen. Something significant to your character, or to society etc. Ask yourself how you wan't the reader to feel after reading your creative.

Also for mod A essays i had 1.1k words which i just managed to finish. I think you should cut down a few hundred, unless you've already timed yourself in exam conditions and you're confident in your ability to write that much.

I mean it's 1.3k
If that's for ext 1 then allg but if it's for advanced that's also okay IF you can write that fast and it's quality (don't wanna distort the quality by adding in more non-good stuff).

Pretty sure it's because every year there are less and less kids doing it & most jobs require at least general knowledge of maths. It's probably to make it easier for both the kids and the employer (or to help get into the course they want if they're going the Uni path)

What do you guys prefer?
Wake up at 4:30am~ and study in the morning, and go to bed 9:00pm~

Or wake up at a normal-ish time, say 6:00-7:00am and study later at night, 11:00pm-12:00am~

I've recently been doing the former, and found it pretty good

I prefer the former but at the moment that lifestyle can't be done :)

Best to get study out of the way so that you have the whole day to do homework, assignments etc.

Midterms finished today! For me, at least. :)

Praying that I did well...

How's everyone else going?

P.S: Am I the only one who's been having sad thoughts about high school ending? I'm now vowing to make the most of these few months left, because I have a feeling I'll miss the familiarity of the school grounds and the familiar faces :(
