Hypothetical wordcount scenario (1 Viewer)

[aqwerty13402]

I think that I have finished my Mod A essay. My exam is in a week. I'm sitting at 1338 words right now, which is going to be a stretch for me. So if I am in the exam, and I'm on my last paragraph and I find myself running out of time, what do I do? Do i wrap it up prematurely and move onto the conclusion? Or do i just write it without skipping it, and potentially not get to/ not finish my conclusion?

Hey!
I did the HSC last year and got a band 6 in English advanced and tutor English advanced. From my experience I personally think getting your final quote and analysis down for the last paragraph and trying to link that analysis to the question should be fine. It is better to skip that linking sentence and get 1-2 sentences for your conclusion down. If you REALLY are in a time crunch try to reword some of your introduction (for the conclusion) , making sure you are linking back to the question.
Hope that helps!

Would definitely wrap it up & finish the conclusion. Structure is pretty important.

Guys I ended up finishing this exam with like 20 seconds to go. Just gotta hope my writing was legible

Oh that’s great news! Don’t worry too much about writing, I was a bit scared for HSC because mine wasn’t the best, but it worked out totally fine!

How ON EARTH do people write over 1.3k words? I can barely finish my 900 words!
