Would they troll us in the hsc and instead of writing a short story make us write a poem or letter to the editor or some bs like that?

They can if they want to. However I have only seen this happen for trial exams.

Personally, i don't think BOSTES will change the creative writing piece from a short story to something else. You guys have it tough already as Discovery is a new area of study with no past information about it to assist you guys in anyway. Imo, i reckon it'll remain short story...

+1 - There's close to no chance they will shift away from it, especially in the first year of a new AOS!

I doubt they would do a poem; but they could make you write a feature article/letter format etc

Oh god no. Not the feature article. :\

But why would they troll us lol their eyes probably bleed enough from reading our crappy stuff written at 2am in the morning.

I think everyone needs to stop being so paranoid about BOSTES and maybe trust it a bit more:)

^ That would also be on top of my 7 speeches for Module B

Yay studying 14 short texts and not knowing which one they're going to specify!
