Write? lol
But seriously, I don't think they mark down for spelling and shit unless they can't understand what you've written due to your spelling.
What I was saying is

When they asked A challenge too belong can resist or embrace

I said they can do both resist and embrace belonging, would I get marked down for that?

Wat up just had paper 1. the theme was opposing pressures in belonging. i did alright in section 1. only wrote 2 pages creative and 3.5 for essay.

it was only worth 5%, i rekin i did alright. fuk but it is so intimidating with 315 other kids in the same gym doing the exam.

I've only become pro recently and I'm still not that good because the top 5 have been consistent all year and are leagues ahead of me.

Yes, in fact it is much better to do so as in most cases individuals cannot fully resist or fully embrace belonging... there would have to be instances where they resist or embrace only to a certain degree.

For me the test was difficult: my pre-written short-story focused on a brotherly relationship and it didn't really fit the stimulus provided; the Mushroomer poem was quite ambiguous (I just made up random crap about personification and non-diegetic influence); and I didn't write my essay as fast as I hoped (spent so long on making perfect paragraphs, that I missed a possible paragraph... oh well).

In total, I did 6 pages for all sections... so a total of 18 pages. In retrospect, it should of been much longer.

Did creative first... talked about place more abstractly as in understanding one's place in the modern world. Also wrote some bullshit about the stickfigure family as a metaphor. (≈900 words/4.5 pages in 36 mins) Hoping for 13+

Did Section 1 next which I think I did alright at (≈3.5 pages). Mushroomer wrote about the personification of the tree in the last stanza. For Facebook wrote how the individual images show how important maintaining a unique identity is to achieving a sense of belonging. However, when we belong to a group our individualism is eroded, evidenced in the organization of the photos into the logo of Facebook, etc. Compared the article to the autobiography for the last part. Spent too long on this part though, will probs do it last for the actual HSC. Hoping for 13+

Essay was fucked. Had like 1300 words prepared and only had like 40 minutes left. Had to make a lot of bullshit up in explaining my quotes and having linking sentences, cause I pretty much went in with only techniques and quotes memorised. Although 1 ORT was good cause it meant I cut out heaps of my prepared essay. Conclusion was a piece of shit though. Answered the question pretty well in terms of linking my ideas back to it, so it doesn't look memorised. (≈800 words/4.5 pages) Hoping for 12+

I hope my rank is good though for this cause I wanna move into top 5 after trial. Currently coming 6th (Advanced) and separated from 4th by less than a mark grrrr.
