aos is in part a of the paper which you will sit on a seperate day to the modules.

in the hsc exam, you have to do the essays/reading response/creative writing

N/A
Paper 1:
Section 1-Reading/Analysing Task, made of various parts, out of 15 marks.
Section 2-Creative Writing, out of 15 marks.
Section 3-Essay, out of 15 marks.

Paper 2:
Section 1-Module A essay, out of 20.
Section 2-Module B essay, out of 20.
Section 3-Module C essay, out of 20.

Basially, Paper 2 is out of 60 marks, Paer 1 out of 45, which are combined to give a mark out of 105. So Paper 2 is worth more. The English exam in total is made of 4 essays, 1 story, and 1 source task. Paper 1 is a lot easier (at least I think so) than Paper 2, as in Paper 2, you have so much more to remember, as in quotes/examples, techniques, effects to write three 20 mark essays in only 2 hours.
