Sure will. I'm depending on Paper 2 !
Lol yeah, same. I did better in paper 2 in my trials, so hopefully the same will go for the HSC.

Modules 60% AOS 40%, so hopefully it'll all be fine :)

I did equally well in both Paper 1 & 2 in the trials.
I will need to do extremely well in Paper 2 to make up for dodgy responses in Paper 1.

I would have not attempted part e in section 1 at all and spent more time on my creative writing.
Can you please explain the logic behind that?

It's a lot easier to pick up 5 marks on a 5 mark question, than it is to pick up 5 marks on a 15 mark question.

I wish i spent time to think about my answers. I just went in and charged at all the questions.

Section 1: Wish i didn't spent so much time doing this section
Section 2: Did this last and only had 20 min
Section 3: Overjoyed that the question was easy, but realised the easier the question then the better my answer should be
Exactly like me ...

If only i went with my instinct and adapted my planned Creative Writing piece ... oh wells ... what's done is done

section 3: MORE TIME! Need time for conclusion. I think it would cost me.

I wish I'd had time to write a longer and more substantial creative. It was five pages, but it was fairly sparse, and I don't think it linked to the quote as a central idea very well.

Meh.

I would've spent 7 minutes less on section 1 and stuck to the recommended times, thus making my story less sucky.

Read text 3 again. My section one answers were pretty dodgy. Other than that, nothing.

There wouldn't be much I'd change. I might add a bit more detail to Section 1

All your regrets make me feel better about finishing on time; with a brilliant story and essay, and excellent responses to section 1.
