What was the essay question?

Ours was: Relationships with others dictate whether we belong or are isolated. To what extent do your studies of XXX support this idea.

What text did you have to use???

I started with Section 1 and ended up spending like 40mins on it!!!!
Then did the essay, and began creative with 1/2hr to go!

the section 2 quotes were good and pretty adaptable i reckon... did you quote yours exactly? or just refer to them in passing in your story?

i took the 'moments' part of the essay as significant opportunities, and mentioned how reality can shape your imagined sense of belonging. (hopefully this makes sense for those of u who do Great Expectations or Mao's Last Dancer

We got our results back for Paper 1 and Paper 2.

Unseen texts: 15/15
AOS Essay: 11/15
Creative Writing: 11/15

So for that, I only got 37/45. I did much better in Paper 2 though :3

Lol i'm a little late but I found the paper pretty easy. I messed up Paper 1 because I misread the clock so there was a disappointing mark there but overall it was quite good. Disappointed that the standard of questions was so low, but then again I also didn't do as well as I had hoped in Paper 2 either so I've lowered my expectations for Advanced overall now.

Paper 1
- S1 - 13/15
- S2 - 11/15
- S3 - 15/15

Paper 2
- Q1 - 19/20
- Q2 - 19/20
- Q3 - 19/20
